Works

waawiyebii'ige: She Draws a Circle

  • 2021
  • Jaime Black, Niklas Konowal

She Draws a Circle reflects on the work of generations of women to interrupt cycles of violence and oppression, looking to the ways in which our spiritual connections to the land and one another help us to hold space for regenerative healing, bringing the hidden to light drawing on that light to encircle each successive generation.

When Land and Body Merge

  • 2020
  • Lindsay Delaronde, Jaime Black

When Land and Body Merge began with the artists and curator meeting online, and over a two month period creating work through video and writing that allowed them to connect and build a relationship from afar. They worked with the idea of a call and response with Lindsay creating work, and Jaime responding to it, and vice versa.
