Indigenous Joys Artist Residency
Indigenous Joys, a year-long residency with lead artist, Tenille Campbell and micro-residencies for four Indigenous artists located across Turtle Island. Created to explore the joys of being Indigenous, the residencies offer a collaborative environment for learning and peer sharing, while experiencing deep belly laughs, joys, and Matriarchy bonding resulting in a group exhibition August 2023 at Neutral Ground Artist-Run Centre.
The residency began in October at the ᑳᓂᔮᓯᕁ kâniyâsihk Culture Camps, where participants were invited to spend three days preparing hides for their projects in different stages, from the hunt to the finished, smoked hide. Micro-residency artists: Stacey Fayant, Arielle Twist, Heather Dixon, Darla Campbell and lead artist, Tenille Campbell will spend the next year working together, using the smoked hide pieces tanned during the kâniyâsihk Culture Camps to engage with the theme Indigenous Joys.
