Curator's Address

At the heart of this year's theme, "Celebrating Our Strength", are the Anishinaabe Seven Grandfather teachings, witnessed through the strength of our women: those who live love; who have courage; who are humble; who show respect; who are truthful; who are honest; and who are wise. When we take the chance to offer our inner strength out to the world, and take action to make the world a better place, we take our place as leaders, as matriarchs. Mnaajaadaanig eniigaaniijig kwewag. Let's celebrate the women leaders; those who uplift one another and inhabit the strength of our resilience.
