Migrating Seeds

Migrating Seeds curated by Amin Alsaden (he/him)

This exhibition sheds light on the migrations of Indigenous communities, particularly those uprooted from their ancestral homelands, crossing the modern borders imposed by settler-colonialism on Turtle Island. Ginnifer Menominee’s family traces its lineage back to their Anishinaabe ancestral territory, which lies in what is known today as the American state of Wisconsin, and to the Potawatomi nation, Bear clan, the justice and medicine keepers. In a forced displacement, however, Ginnifer’s family had to walk up to Canada following the War of 1812, seeking refuge with the Ojibwe people, while losing their own home territory.
