Leah Decter and Tania Willard approach the complexities of stolen land by focusing on one of today’s most pressing questions in “Canada”: how settlers, newcomers, and their descendants can engage in ethical guesting, that which is “relational, respectful, and reciprocal.”

Guest editors Peter Morin and Tania Willard, introduced by editor Kari Cwynar, introduce their direction for the issue and offer insight into the ethos of BUSH gallery. New approaches to art and art experience are introduced, de-centring conventional institutions as art hallmarks and instead, focusing on themes of specificity, colonization, and indigenous futurity.

Tania Willard speaks in conversation with curator Anique Jordan about her off site program The Public—Land +Body (West) as part of the Art Gallery of Ontario’s exhibition Every. Now. Then: Reframing Nationhood.

Through the Storymancy method of decoding Indigenous knowledge, Peter Morin and Tania Willard question books about Indigenous art, space, and about BUSH gallery.
