MAG: Join Christina Battle and Zachary Ayotte in conversation on May 25

MacEwan Today

We acknowledge that the land on which we gather in Treaty Six Territory is the traditional gathering place for many Indigenous people. We honour and respect the history, languages, ceremonies and culture of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit who call this territory home.

The First People’s connection to the land teaches us about our inherent responsibility to protect and respect Mother Earth. With this acknowledgement, we honour the ancestors and children who have been buried here, missing and murdered Indigenous women and men, and the process of ongoing collective healing for all human beings. We are reminded that we are all treaty people and of the responsibility we have to one another.

Faculty, staff and students are invited to join Christina Battle and Zachary Ayotte to celebrate the launch of Ayotte’s publication, Lines, which reflects on maintenance as both an act and an idea.

Maintenance and Care: A Conversation with Christina Battle and Zachary Ayotte
Presented by the Mitchell Art Gallery (MAG) in partnership with Or Gallery (Vancouver)
When: Saturday, May 25 at 2 p.m.
Where: Betty Andrews Recital Hall

Lines was written in response to an invitation from Christina Battle, whose curatorial work helped spark the essay. The publication is available for free access and download on Or Gallery’s website.

The event is free and no registration is required. ASL interpretation is available.
