nâpêhkâsowinowâk - Taran Kootenhayoo

nâpêhkâsowinowâk explores the evolving meaning of being a warrior in today’s world through the eyes of young Indigenous men. Instead of focusing solely on traditional notions of bravery, the exhibition expands the idea of the “warrior” to include witnessing, recording, and bearing testimony to lived experiences. Through paintings by Lonigan Gilbert and Coda Girvan, alongside powerful prints and installations from Evan Robinson, Matthew Provost, and seth cardinal dodginghorse, the exhibition delves into themes of identity, pop culture, celebration, emotion, political response, and the complex layers of grief. The exhibition is further enriched by the stirring spoken word poetry of the late Taran Kootenhayoo, whose words amplify the voices of a generation navigating identity, resistance, and transformation. nâpêhkâsowinowâk invites visitors to reflect on what courage, resilience, and warriorhood look like in a contemporary context, challenging preconceptions while honouring the unique perspectives of a new generation.
