Art Windsor-Essex launched a new exhibit on Thursday, one that analyzes ecological concerns shared by humans and animals in the ecosystem.
The exhibit, titled Ndishnikaaz / Nugwa'am / My name is, is by Mary Anne Barkhouse.
'There are stories in this exhibition about what we keep and what we should return,' said Emily McKibbon, head of exhibitions and collection.
'Stories that offer paths towards more ethical ways of being. But Barkhouse asks that before hearing these stories, we begin by naming ourselves to the storyteller: Ndishnikaaz / Nugwa'am / My name is.'
The stories in the exhibition are told through the eyes, ears, and whiskers of various species. Viewers are asked to explore the histories and consider what the future could bring.
More details about the exhibit are available here.
