Over the past year, Kathy M. Austin, Paul Brain, Daniel Desaulniers, Lucas Kayseas, Jessica Kowalski, Andre Paradis, and Kacy Salkeld have met weekly with Métis artist and cohort lead Kay Thomas to share stories, ask questions, and learn about how artists living with disabilities can engage with the histories and cultural practices of Indigenous Peoples of Treaty 7 Territory.

The artists’ works presented here were created in response to these conversations and seek to honour the teachings they have received about what respect for the land can look like when Indigenous ways of knowing and making are held at the centre.
