Vague démographique : mouvance des cultures (In French only)
Le Musée des Abénakis à Odanak présente, jusqu’au 17 novembre 2019, l’exposition Vague démographique : mouvance des cultures, fruit de la commissaire et coordonnatrice Frédérique Guichard. Ce projet réunit quatorze artistes; six en provenance de l’Atelier Presse Papier de Trois-Rivières, sept artistes autochtones, dont l’artiste abénakise Christine Sioui Wawanoloath, ainsi que la Britannique d’origine chinoise Wuon-Gean Ho, gagnante du Prix Presse Papier de la Biennale internationale d’estampe contemporaine de Trois-Rivières présentée en 2017.
La commissaire de ce projet a associé à chacun des artistes de l’atelier Presse Papier, un artiste issu des Premières Nations. Chaque duo a ainsi pu apprendre à se connaître, a suivi des ateliers communs et a partagé son vécu.
Au final, cette collaboration aura permis la création de vingt-huit estampes traditionnelles; quatorze de grands formats et quatorze plus petites. Ces dernières ont été reliées en un livre d’artistes, autour du conte d’Ariane Gélinas, Lune perdue, conçu spécifiquement pour ce projet.
