Earthwork is the first major exhibition in Canada to re-imagine the concept of “earthwork” from an Indigenous perspective. The exhibition critically reassesses the concept from its art historical framings of 1960s and 1970s land art, with its emphasis on the monumental, industrial and extractive, toward the recognition of working with and for Earth from the perspective of Indigenous ways of repair, resilience, and possible futures. Like the term “beadwork,” this kind of earthwork refers to a practice and a way of working rather than a singular art object. Earthwork focuses on practices and histories that are directly intertwined with the local context and the Great Lakes region.
