Overview
Originally published to accompany the second contemporary international Indigenous art exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada in 2019, À badakone | Continuous Fire | Feu continuel taps into the global pulse of Indigenous artistic production. It builds on themes of continuity, activation, and relatedness, exploring the creativity, concerns, and vitality of Indigenous art from virtually every continent.
À badakone features work by more than 70 contemporary Indigenous artists identifying with almost 40 Indigenous nations, ethnicities, and tribal affiliations across Turtle Island and beyond, including Anishinaabe artist Rebecca Belmore, Maya-Tz’ utujil artist Manuel Chavajay, and Hlubi artist Siwa Mgoboza. These stunning works are accompanied by major essays by artists and curators, covering topics as diverse as the curatorial methodology behind the exhibitions, Indigenous performance art, African art and Indigeneity, and the intersection of Indigenous art and global art history narratives in an age of post-colonialism and decolonization.
