Independent Redux is an exhibition of work created by students in the Fine Arts Department at Grande Prairie Regional College. The exhibition is a group show of emerging, local talent and features the work created by students in the Special Projects in Studio Disciplines course. Supervised by instructor Tina Martel, the focus of the course is on self-initiated research and projects.
We acknowledge that we are located on Treaty 8 territory—the ancestral Land of the sovereign Dane-zaa, Nehiyawak, Dene, and Otipemisiwak Nations. We acknowledge the many Indigenous Peoples who have lived and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude.
The Art Gallery of Grande Prairie also recognizes that Land Acknowledgments are not enough. Through our actions we commit to truth, reconciliation, decolonization, and allyship in support of Indigenous lifeways and wellbeing.
