Canadian Museum for Human Rights (HANDOUT)
The Canadian Museum for Human Rights has chosen a major artistic commission to be installed in its Indigenous Perspectives gallery.
Pre-eminent Canadian visual artist Rebecca Belmore will be introduced during a news conference today at Neechi Commons by CMHR president and CEO Stuart Murray.
Public workshops will be held in Winnipeg during February and March among diverse and cross-generational individuals, who will collaborate with Belmore on a giant blanket made of beads.
Lee-Ann Martin, one of Canada’s foremost curators of contemporary Aboriginal art, is curating the installation and will participate in the event, along with Mary Reid, director/curator of the University of Manitoba’s School of Art gallery, and Alexandra Keim, CMHR manager of art and objects.
