Exhibition & Events

Amalkewinu'k
Community collaborative art project organized and curated by Aaron Prosper and Mackenzie Pardy
Sept. 30 - Dec. 12, 2026 

"Amalkewinu'k (The Dancers)" explores the evolution of Mi'kmaw regalia through a blend of contemporary and historical photographs, emphasizing its cultural, artistic, and ceremonial significance. Featuring studio portraits of Mi'kmaw community members in regalia alongside archival images, the exhibition highlights the transformation and ongoing relevance of regalia Mi'kmaw traditions. By presenting distinctively Mi'kmaw regalia, it challenges misconceptions about Indigenous cultural uniformity and celebrates Mi'kmaw artistic heritage - honouring both past and present community artists who continue to preserve these essential traditions.

This exhibition is generously sponsored by the Deveau Institute for Indigenous Governance and Social Justice.

"Amalkewinu'k" first opened at the Treaty Space Gallery in February 2025 before travelling to Acadia University, where it was exhibited in October 2025. The exhibition received extensive media coverage from CBC News, Visual Arts News, APTN, We Are All Treaty People, Indigenous WatchDog, and other outlets.
