Registration required: bookings@indigenouswalks.com.Indigenous Walk tour and birch bark biting demonstration with Jaime Koebel and Simon Brascoupé: Wednesday, July 19, 6 to 7 pmPresented in EnglishRegistration required: bookings@indigenouswalks.comWâpikwanew means blossom in Nehiyawewin (the Cree language), and blossoms are a form of natural beauty that emerges in the wake of a winter's sleep. From floral beadwork to ink on eggs, from paint on canvas to birch bark bitings, floral images are a source of symbolism that support self-identification, cultural identity, memory, traditional knowledge and meditation."Through this exhibition, I hope to express two main ideas. First and foremost, I want to highlight how floral art serves as a source of inspiration and connection in so many cultures, something that I personally witnessed in my youth. Secondly, I want to share how flowers provided a kind of balance that took my mind away from the less beautiful things around me.This exhibition is meant to be enjoyed and I hope it brings you happiness and encourages you to think about how flowers are represented in your own life." - Excerpt from the essay by Jaime KoebelPresented in collaboration with the NAC's Canada Scene.. 110 Laurier Avenue WestOttawa, ON K1P 1J1..
