Robert Houle: Histories<\/span><\/h1>\n

September 14, 2019 – February 23, 2020<\/span><\/h2>\n

About the exhibition<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This exhibition presents a selection of works by the leading Saulteaux artist Robert Houle who grew up in Sandy Bay First Nation on the western shore of Lake Manitoba. In his early days, Houle attended Sandy Bay Residential School and, like many Indigenous children, experienced abuse there. At its heart, the exhibition features a selection of works from Houle\u2019s Sandy Bay Residential School <\/em>series (2009), a suite of 24 oilstick drawings made by the artist as he recollected these childhood terrors. Histories<\/em> also includes Houle\u2019s magnificent self-portrait Blue Thunder <\/em>(2011), an unfurling testament to the artist\u2019s courage and resilience, and Muhnedobe uhyahyuk (Where the gods are present)<\/em> (1989), a group of four large canvases that express the artist\u2019s redemptive connection to the land and sky of Manitoba.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
