Joanne Gervais:Re-sourced/recalled
Gervais will present her MFA thesis exhibition titled Re-Sourced/Recalled in a format of video installation. The main focus of her exhibition is the attempt to generate alternative perspectives in terms of cultural identity and personal relationship to the history of Métis in Canada. This installation is based on the original concept of multiple narrations pertaining to history, memory and nostalgia, but also involves the viewer more directly as part of the work and incorporates the idea of reflection while addressing, simultaneously, the immediate present and the idea of the ‘past’.
