Jeneen Frei Njootli’s solo exhibition in the B.C. Binning Gallery, “my auntie bought all her skidoos with bead money,” speaks to refusals, belongings, loss and love, through a new and deeply personal body of work.
Editors' Comment
This 2018 Sobey Art Award finalist is brilliant and personal—among other things, she reclaims settler-colonial notions of conceptualism and the avant-garde through Indigenous cultures and ways of knowing. This exhibition of new work is not-to-be-missed.
