There are Spirits in the Forest
La Guilde | From July 20 to September 10, 2023
As part of the International First Peoples’ Festival, Mi’kmaw artist Alan Syliboy’s exhibition “There are Spirits in the Forest” highlights his own artistic vocabulary created from Indigenous Mi’kmaq petroglyph tradition. Exploring themes of family, spirituality, struggle and strength, he uses the layering of symbols and markmaking to create depth and texture in his works.
