First Sight: Indigenous Art in Toronto | Tourism Toronto
Canadian Indigenous art is a major part of the nation's contemporary art scene. Here's a primer on this dynamic and evolving milieu. By Clayton Windatt.
Created from descendants of the original inhabitants of this land, Indigenous art occupies a vital position within Canadian art. Indigenous people do not form one homogenous cultural group and there are strong regional identities among First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities, bands and tribes. When viewing Indigenous art, understanding the cultural context it was produced within will provide you with a deeper appreciation of the artist and their work.
Toronto's Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) and the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, just north of the city, showcase many of Canada's leading modern and contemporary Indigenous artists. Here is an overview of the most influential Indigenous art movements:
The Woodland School & Beyond
Ojibway painter Norval Morrisseau was one of the first Indigenous artists to achieve mainstream success during the 1960s. Considered the leader of the Woodland School of art, Morrisseau is known for a visual aesthetic of bright colours and what came to be known as "Indian" stylization, with thick lines connecting people, places and creatures together.
Morrisseau's works depict—among other messages—transformation, capturing the power coming from within the land, water and animals. Morrisseau was a residential school survivor who lived through the suppression of native culture and language during the early half of the 1900s, and his stylized paintings are as political as they are symbolic: they declare ownership over territory and claim agency for his culture.
Today, the Woodland School and its iconic imagery retain their cultural significance, reimagined by younger artists. Contemporary visual artist Christian Chapman's work Elvis Changing into a '77 Ford Thunderbird (2014) is a pop-culture-tinged riff on Norval Morrisseau's Man Changing into Thunderbird (1977). Chapman's works often explore the intersection between Indigenous and non-Indigenous society. They also tell a story of heritage and identity, preserving the evolving Anishinabe culture he is a part of.
Many Indigenous artists have engaged their practice as a platform for socio-political change, a strategy that artists around the world have employed. Ojibway artist Carl Beam frequently explores themes of identity and the impact of colonization on Indigenous Peoples. His 1985 painting The North American Iceberg (whose title ironically references an Art Gallery of Ontario exhibition of that same year, The European Iceberg) was the first work by an Aboriginal artist purchased by the National Gallery of Canada for its contemporary art collection. In Beam's striking 1990 The Columbus Suite, a series of 12 monumental etchings that are part of the Art Gallery of Ontario's collection, he examines and reclaims colonialist ideas of discovery and identity, using appropriated photo-reproductions as well as images of himself at various stages of life.
In Canada, as elsewhere, conversations about Indigenous rights remain ongoing. This context is a persistent concern for Indigenous artists, as many issues between Indigenous people and non-Indigenous society remain unresolved. Yet as Canadians, we share collective history and geography. That is a perspective explored prominently in the work of Kent Monkman, a Toronto-based, contemporary artist of Cree ancestry whose queer alter-ego Miss Chief Eagle Testickle is depicted in painting, film and video works as a counter narrative to conventional colonial history.
Monkman's paintings, in sweeping 19th-century Romantic style, depict a wide range of historical narratives, deconstructing existing notions of "Indians" that have been portrayed in historical textbooks and art over the past few hundred years. Monkman reimagines these works in his own fashion, painting scenes of love and war, appropriating and subverting the conventional. It's an approach that's confrontational—and effective. Monkman is one of Canada's most renowned contemporary artists, with work featured in Australia's 2010 Biennale of Sydney festival, Toronto International Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival, the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art (now called Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto Canada) (MOCA) and the National Gallery of Canada. His work is also in the permanent collection of Toronto's Art Gallery of Ontario.
Subversion & Reconciliation
While some artists choose to confront the world with images that challenge head-on, others aim for the same impact through subversion.
Inuk artist Annie Pootoogook is known for her ink and coloured pencil drawings. Pootoogook portrayed life in her community, Northern Canada's Cape Dorset (known as Kinngait in Inuktitut). Her representations explore everyday occurrences, including personal experiences. These include representations of typical, day-to-day life, such as children watching television—or a woman experiencing domestic violence. Pootoogook's work mixes humour and blunt representations of the disparities found in Indigenous life, making these scenes of "normal" life a point of confrontation.
Métis painter Jim Logan works in a similar way, often discussing the church's relationship with Indigenous Peoples. Born in New Westminster, British Columbia, he depicts his experiences as a lay minister in the Kwanlin Dün Village, in the outskirts of Whitehorse, Yukon. Logan employs humour and tragedy to raise awareness of the conditions within Indigenous communities and in Canada's former residential schools.
Pootoogook's work has been included in prestigious international group exhibitions, like Germany's Documenta, and in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Canada. Dozens of her pieces can be viewed at the Art Gallery of Ontario and the McMichael Canadian Art Collection (which staged an exhibition of her work last year). Logan has had a solo exhibition at the McMichael and was a featured artist at Vancouver's Expo 86.
Rebecca Belmore is a multi-disciplinary Anishinabe artist whose politically charged work has brought considerable international acclaim. Belmore was Canada's official representative (and the first Indigenous woman to represent Canada) at the 2005 Venice Biennale, and won the 2016 Gershon Iskowitz Prize at the Art Gallery of Ontario (the AGO also has three of her works in its collection). Known for pushing boundaries, Belmore's performance art functions as both protest form and coping mechanism. Belmore's work has raised awareness of violence toward Indigenous people (especially women) and Indigenous rights. Belmore's work looks at how politics relate to the construction of identity and representation.
Although all these artists are unified under the identifying term Indigenous, each retains individual identity coming from different places, cultures and backgrounds. What they share is a connection to the struggle that Indigenous Peoples have faced in Canada, as elsewhere. Indigenous art and Indigenous rights will forever be intertwined. That context is the first step in appreciating the ground breaking work from creators as varied as Morrisseau to Belmore.

Church Premiere for Roustom's Son of Man
by Sudeep Agarwala
May 11, 2011 May 10, 2011 by Sudeep Agarwala
Sunday mornings are unfamiliar turf to me. Attending Coro Allegro's and the United Parish in Brookline Chancel Choir's premiere of Kareem Roustom's oratorio, The Son of Man, under the leadership of David Hodgkins on the morning of Sunday, April 8, I was struck by the tension between religious service and concert. Commissioned by the United Parish in 2008, Sunday morning marked the world premiere of Roustom's work. It repeats in a concert on Sunday, May 15, at the Church of the Covenant, Boston.
Roustom's six settings of poems by Kahlil Gibran from his collection of poetry, Jesus, the Son of Man, are a supremely dramatic unfolding in six movements, reflections on the ministry of Christ from the perspective of five Biblical characters and finally, Gibran himself. Each movement prominently features a soloist as the central narrator, accompanied by chorus, organ, trumpet, harp, and percussion.
The works are not easy. Roustom's piece is written in a musical language that's a close cousin — almost obligatorily, given both works' Middle-eastern influences to the asymmetric meters and tonal world — of Bernstein's Chichester Psalms. The ample challenges of the work were more than competently met by the chorus, whose attention to detail and diction made the printed version of the text in the program all but unnecessary. Accompanied movements held the chorus in bold delineation against the orchestral accompaniment, while the a capella fifth movement flourished in a well-balanced conception.
Soloists are at the heart of Roustom's work: solos and soliloquy compel the drama. Particular emphasis is placed in the soprano part, in this case Elissa Alvarez, and that of the mezzo-soprano, Amy Oraftik, who not only introduce and close the work, but figure prominently into the narrative. David Kravitz, featured prominently in the John the Baptist movement, approached the work with a characteristically open sound and rich vibrato that, although deeply satisfying to hear, somehow underestimated the frenetic drama of Roustom's accompaniment. Of particular note, however, was James DeSelms work in the second movement, centered around a tenor narrative. A smaller voice, DeSelms's sound was nonetheless commanding and flexible, soaring in the higher registers with remarkable facility.
Yet the niggling question in the back of my mind: instead of a church service, isn't this work better suited for a concert hall? As easy as it is to become swept up in Roustom's vivid imagination and to fall in love with the dramatic narrative in his music, it was hard not to notice the small yet steady trickle of attendees leaving the church service. Despite the best intentions of the church, it seemed that some of the congregation did not appreciate the piece. Could it be that the work, centered on Gibran's contemplation on Christ's ministry, doesn't allow room for personal reflection or contemplation? Nonetheless, Sunday morning's premiere ended with a much-deserved standing ovation that somehow reinforced the performance, rather than religious, aspect of the work.
The piece is a successful collaboration between instrumental and choral ensembles with soloists, that can be heard at the concert performance next week in Boston.

I was privileged to sing in the Roustom premiere on May 8, as a member of both United Parish Chancel Choir and Coro Allegro. "The Son of Man" is a piece that has required extensive preparation (especially for an unauditioned church choir), and unusual flexibility on the part of both directors. This successful collaboration between a gay secular chorus and a church choir is a notable accomplishment in and of itself.
An important aspect of the May 8 premiere was the skillful introduction of this music to the congregation over the previous 2 months, by choir director Susan DeSelms. She organized 4 lectures on Kahlil Gibran's poetry and Kareem Roustom's music in March and April, and integrated excerpts of the text and music into the winter and spring services. This congregation was very well prepared (and eager) to hear this mystical oratorio as the worship service on Sunday. Susan is to be congratulated for her vision in commissioning Kareem to write for the UP community, and then to expand the community by including Coro Allegro once she saw the magnitude of the piece.
Comment by Julie Anderson — May 10, 2011 at 11:58 pm
As a parishioner of the United Parish, I must respond to say that the commissioning of Kareem Roustom's The Son of Man by Susan DeSelms and our Chancel Choir culminated in a moving and uplifting service of worship and music on Sunday May 8th. Mr. Agarwala's "niggling question" regarding a "small yet steady" number of people leaving the service brings undue attention to a constant reality of any urban parish: there is always movement and fluidity within the worship service. Far better to take note of the immediate and heartfelt standing ovation which greeted this music and its performance. On a spring Sunday in America, Mr. Roustom's deep and cross-cultural synthesis of words and music provided a powerful experience for anyone thinking about and praying for our brothers and sisters in the Middle East and throughout the world. What better place for probing and thought-provoking music than a church?

As the Senior Pastor of The United Parish in Brookline and the ultimate arbiter of what is and is not appropriate worship, I want to weigh in on the discussion. We intentionally did not try to somehow integrate this amazing piece into a traditional worship service. This congregation is committed to being a church that ministers to a world that has changed radically. We are open to new forms of worship and to people who are looking for religious services that speak to their deep desire to encounter the spiritual in the midst of the ordinary. Roustom's music and Gibran's moving poetry speak for themselves about the holy. Our worship that day was meant to be worship through worship, a sermon in song. Our congregation was well-prepared for the experience, having heard the poetry in previous services and having had the opportunity to learn about the music in a series of programs. If people came that day looking for our usual type of service they may have been disappointed. If they came to discover a vibrant church community that worships in a wide variety of ways, they have found a treasure in The United Parish in Brookline.
Comment by The Rev. Patricia Coughlin — May 11, 2011 at 11:41 am
Having literally grown up in the United Parish, I have experienced the many different ways that worship is celebrated over the years. Since I have moved away from Brookline, I visit now and then on occasion, and I was happy that this past Sunday was one of those occasions. It was a powerful, complicated work that required those in the congregation to engage and participate mentally and emotionally. Hearing the composers comments prior to the service was especially engaging since it brought some background and context for what we experienced. It was perhaps not a usual service, but it was the usual kind of worship that the UP has embraced over its many years – interesting, challenging, musical and spiritually rich.
Comment by R. Brown — May 11, 2011 at 4:17 pm
The idea of imposing these sorts categorical boxes on the performance versus the church service strikes me as the preoccupation of an inorganic conception of the relationship between Art, Religion and Humanity.
Comment by C. Brown — May 11, 2011 at 11:45 pm
Let me add that this wonderful work is also a tour de force: it adapts an extremely difficult musical tradition (the correct term, strange to say, is "Oriental," not "Middle Eastern" or "Arabic")to the European classical tradition. Ears trained in the latter are sure to be challenged by Oriental music's very different rhythms and meters, its semi-tones, quavers, and modes. One of the great triumphs of this arresting piece is that it successfully melds the two traditions. Moreover, it is an act of love, peace, and courage to perform poetry by a Lebanese-American author in music written by a Syrian-American composer while the US continues its endless Middle East and South Asia wars and domestic prejudices mount against all things "Arab."

Since the 1950s, most people have had a television in their home both to catch up on the latest news and find entertainment. A lot has changed about what TV offers and how we get it, though. For one, there are a litany of digital TV packages, plans, and offers that you have to choose from when you are shopping for a plan.
This doesn't even limit itself to comparing what one company to another. Even if you are just going to compare DISH channel packages, you are going to have a lot of options to deal with. Honestly, it can be a little overwhelming.
So, how do you break this down in a way that's easy to understand? When you are looking at so many options, how do you compare them effectively? In this article, we are going to look at the smartest way to compare digital TV packages, plans, and offers so that you get the best option for you.
The first step to finding your perfect provider and options is to find out who your options are. After all, depending on the area you live in, you will only have access to certain providers and options.
It should be noted that you will have to be specifically aware of this if you live in a more rural area. Due to the seclusion of these areas as well as the lower population demanding service, not all providers work in these areas.
When you are looking at different providers and plans, they will each come at their own unique price. As such, you will need to determine how much you can (or want) to spend on your TV package.
This also highlights the importance of looking at more than one company. If your budget is a little on a low end, one company may force you to settle for what their lowest plan offers. However, by looking at another provider you might find a promising deal that gets you a lot without forcing you to pay a fortune.
Before you sign onto a plan, you are going to want to pay attention to the contract. First of all, this will tell you how long you are stuck in a contract. If you aren't looking to make a long-term commitment to a company, you are going to be disappointed if the contract length is too long.
You should also check the fine print on the contract as well. One problem that many people run into is that they sign a contract and then find their bill rising after the first year. To avoid nasty surprises like this, you should be familiar with the terms you are agreeing to.
This seems like a no-brainer but it is worth noting. When you are looking into a TV plan, you should look into what it offers you. If it only offers you channels you don't usually watch then you aren't going to get much out of it. The best way to get what you want is to think about the channels that you want to have and pay attention to what a particular bundle offers you.
Much like any other business, TV providers will try to sweeten the deal for their customers by offering deals or add-ons. This could include things like on-demand services or the ability to DVR shows.
When looking at these add-ons you should consider two main things. The first is if they justify the price tag that comes with them – are they true incentives? In addition, and as a part of this, you should also consider if you would actually use these add-ons. They might be enticing but if you won't use them, they aren't really worth your time.

So What? About Brexit.
My journey across the negotiations and beyond
"I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road."
I feel for Vince Cable. He is getting a lot of very harsh criticism for saying out loud that many older people who voted for Brexit were motivated by nostalgia for a country where "passports were blue, faces were white and the map was coloured imperial pink". He did say "many", not all of them but the Brexit brigade is out in force accusing the Lib Dem leader of portraying them as racist. How long has it been since the Brexit referendum? Yes, you are right, far too long, but in this instance it is worth to come back to the leave campaign and revive the images of a certain Nigel Farage waving during his speeches an old fashioned blue passport as a reminder of a more sentimental times, where Britain was still as empire. Vince Cable did call all those who voted to leave a bunch of racists but if they are showing such an outrage towards his comments, I furtively think that there must be some glimpses of a very uncomfortable truth to it. I am not saying that the 17m of people who voted to leave are racist in disguise, of course not but in amongst those 17m hide a few that voted purely because of that nostalgia, that homesick feeling to come back to a time where borders were a lot closer to the foreigner. Call it truth. Call it a fact. I can tell you from personal experience that being an immigrant is now a tiny bit harder. The vast majority of the people I encounter do not even bat an eyelid by my accent or nationality. However, since Brexit there is a hurtful minority who do. For some if you are an outsider they just simply give you some abuse because in their eyes you are to blame for the shortage of housing, a lack of public school places or the issues in the NHS. They were led to believe so by the Leave campaign, so I actually find it extremely hypocritical to lynch Sir Cable for quite an accurate observation.
This is the problem with Brexit. We keep going around in vicious circles because of the lack of clarity and vison for the future outside the EU. There is nothing wrong with fire and passion but Brexit has become a matter of feelings more than a succession of facts. Everyone's judgment is clouded by emotions. How many times do you avoid talking about Brexit just to save you a heartbreak? Can you remember life before Brexit? I am not being melodramatic but seeing that Brexit will be a complicated topic to debate in many years to come (hurray!) we should all make an effort to start maturing the rhetoric. A good beginning point will be admitting reality. Brexit is an unsolved problem because it is proving a fracture far too deep in within the main political parties and more importantly within the British society. The Government have shown themselves to be infantile, short of ideas and far too selfish and divided to even contemplate what is best for the country. Ms May probably does not even realise but her "Brexit is Brexit" it is the only affirmation that makes complete sense in all this mess. The more we understand about the deep connections forged during the years of relationship between the UK and the EU, the more you come to the conclusion that the only way of departing the EU is leaving whole. The EU will never accept, and rightly so, anything that will give the UK the very similar settings as they stand now minus the free movement. The 4 freedoms (people, capital, goods and services) are at the heart of the Union. They have no choice but to stand by them even if a no deal with the UK will leave a trail of serious economic harm across the union. So the UK leaves to start all over again from scratch taking the biggest gamble of our life time or we get another vote, not because people "did not know what we were voting for" but because it's plain to see no one has the slightest clue of what is really going on. "There is nothing wrong with changing a plan when the situation has changed" wrote Seneca the Younger all those centuries ago. Wise advice as anything is better than staying in this conundrum perpetually. Hasta la próxima amigos.

There ain't no sanity clause," Chico Marx told Groucho. There is also no Santa Claus. And there was no sanity in the Santa fracas that became an embarrassing liberal-media fixation just before Christmas. For those who missed it, what happened was this: A Fox News anchor, Megyn Kelly, came upon a tongue-in-cheek blog post at Slate in which a black writer, Aisha Harris, proposed that Santa be recast as a penguin for the sake of racial inclusiveness. After tossing this scrap of red meat to her all-white panel of prime-time guests, Kelly reassured any "kids watching" (this was nearing 10 p.m.) that "Santa just is white." (For good measure, she added, "Jesus was a white man, too.
