CIRCA 2019

Artist statement = Curator cecilia Martinez

We Sing Our Songs is a powerful photography exhibit representing life on the Bois Forte Reservation. Digital storytelling has been taking place here since 1987. This exhibit in particular presents the people of our community walking towards their futures with open eyes, unafraid, and strong enough to survive almost anything. It honors our Anishinaabe spirit, culture, and life as it is lived here and now. Together, the images present the voice or our community and honors creative expression that honors our past while influencing positive change for future generations. Curator - Cecilia Martinez

The EXCHANGE TOUR is dedicated to building appreciation for the arts by sharing digital stories across communities in the state of Minnesota. Between June 2019 and October 2021 artwork was exchanged between five communities and then brought together in collective exhibits and screenings. Look below to find out more about each exhibit below.
