Artspace Peterborough reopens to the public with "Connections of Gestures" by Carrie Allison, an exhibition that explores beaded animation in video, still life, and beaded works. Allison, a nêhiýaw/cree, Métis, and European descent visual artist based in K'jipuktuk (Halifax, Nova Scotia), was inspired by beadwork held in museums across Turtle Island, how these pieces hold ancestors, tell stories and connect us through time and space. Through combining animation and beadwork the artist seeks to visually narrate the practice of beading and bring viewers closer to an understanding of beadwork's animacy. Artspace members-only preview on September 9 at 7 p.m.
