Description

Staking Land Claims, curated by Patricia Deadman, was the first in a series of exhibitions by Aboriginal curators at The Banff Centre. In it, four Aboriginal artists explored past and present relationships between the land and its dwellers. They addressed issues of cultural perception, tradition, memory, ecological fate and identity. Their concerns bridge all cultures and ask every person to stake a claim to a shared responsibility for the land and its ecology.
