- Title
ART THIS WAY: DECOLONIZING ART WITH ARTHUR RENWICK.
- Authors
Iseke-Barnes, Judy; Ontario, Thunder Bay
- Abstract
Honoring the interpretations, naming and theorizing of Haisla artist Arthur Renwick, we explore the complexity and consistent invocation of Aboriginal identity in his art exhibits Undertow (1996), Deeply Felt (1999), Stately Monuments (2002), and Delegates, Chiefs of the Earth and Sky (2003). In discussing Arthur Renwick's struggle for recognition and respect in art circles, we challenge ongoing colonial practices in art education and art review. We explore ways Indigenous artists create their own directions focusing on issues relevant to their communities, in both urban and reserve locations and create communications and shared interactions that support the lives of peoples in interconnected communities.
