Artist Talk: Host(age) Revisited
Date: Jun 13
2:30 pm
- 3:30 pm
Where: Theatre
Originally created for the Bonavista Biennale and installed on the shoreline at Maberly, Cree designer K. Jake Chakasim’s site responsive sculpture is on the grounds of The Rooms this summer. The structure references a traditional fish flake and incorporates archival images to explore how history shapes – and sometimes erases - understandings of the past. While at The Rooms installing his work, Chakasim will share thoughts about his experiences of the history of our province, and how this inspired his creation.
While this program takes place inside, if the weather permits, the audience will be invited to join Jake on The Rooms lawn following the program to get a close up look at the installation.
This is a free program but tickets are required. Reserve your free ticket online or by calling (709)-757-8090.
