SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Talk\, free at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic
DESCRIPTION:Mi’kmaw artists are creating a wide range of imaginative and beautiful work using the skills and traditions of basketry weaving given to them by their elders and ancestors. \nPeter J Clair is one of nine artists presented in The Art of Mi’kmaw Basketry (FORMAC publishing)\, which was released in 2023. \nPeter was among the first to break new ground in the 1980s when public interest was rising in Indigenous contemporary art. As a master sculptural weaver he uses natural materials to create thought-provoking pieces using traditional and contemporary forms. He often uses Black Ash\, willow and other tree barks. \nPeter is also a poet and fiction writer. As our guest speaker\, he will present in English\, with occasional commentary in Mi’kmaw.
