Nadia Myre Hosts Solo Exhibition in France

Nadia Myre's exhibition 'Ropes & Lines' at CIAP Vassivière in France reflects on colonial histories, using charcoal she created on-site to produce photographic works that engage with her Algonquin heritage. The exhibition serves as an anti-colonial statement, highlighting the colonial dynamics of Canada, especially in Montreal, where English and French communities are divided. Concurrently, the narrative of land resistance is explored, drawing parallels to the struggles of Indigenous peoples and Palestinians against oppressive regimes. In a significant political shift, Chad and Senegal announced the end of French military presence, emphasizing their sovereignty and marking a critical moment in Franco-African relations. The film 'Les Filles du Roi' illustrates the complex interactions between Indigenous peoples and French settlers in 1665, while highlighting the resilience of community ties amidst colonial violence. Together, these narratives underscore the ongoing impacts of colonialism and the fight for cultural identity and sovereignty.
