Opening Reception | Cheryl L’Hirondelle: where the voice touches (((acts, utterances, transmissions for freedom)))

Location: Walter Phillips Gallery Time: 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Join us for the Opening Reception of the exhibition, Cheryl L’Hirondelle: where the voice touches (((acts, utterances, transmissions for freedom))), co-curated by Tarah Hogue and Jacqueline Bell. The exhibition is the first career survey organized on the celebrated multidisciplinary artist and singer/songwriter’s expansive multi-decade practice, foregrounding ideas of echolocation and nēhiyawin (Cree worldview) understanding of freedom, where one’s self-responsibility moves in tandem with self-determination. The exhibition is made possible through the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts, Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Government of Canada and Government of Alberta. Walter Phillips Gallery is grateful to the Agnes Etherington Art Centre (AGNES) and Vulnerable Media Lab at Queen’s University, who as part of the Emulator Library for Media Art (ELMA) project have revived three works by Cheryl L’Hirondelle.
