The Gardiner Museum in downtown Toronto is set to revamp its space with increased emphasis on Indigenous art, featuring a ground floor gallery guided by principles of access, connectivity, and Indigeneity.
Franchesca Hebert-Spence, the museum's first curator of Indigenous ceramics, expresses her passion for ceramics and community, emphasizing the importance of engaging critically with Indigenous artists using clay.
The new Indigenous gallery at the Gardiner Museum will showcase a mix of historical and contemporary pieces, including an increase in beadwork and craft-based customary production within Indigenous art.
Designed by architect Chris Cornelius in consultation with the Gardiner's Indigenous Advisory Circle, the Indigenous gallery aims to present Indigenous works through an authentic lens, focusing on visual and cultural sovereignty.
