Toronto Biennial of Art: Wigwam Chi-Chemung - Talk & Stargazing

During the opening weekend of the Toronto Biennial of Art, an intimate conversation under the stars brings together artist, poet and educator Elder Duke Redbird and renowned astrophysicist Dr. Renée Hložek to discuss the human relationship to the cosmos from a multiplicity of perspectives. In the context of Redbird’s Indigenous interpretive learning centre and evolving art installation Wigwam Chi-Chemung at Ontario Place, and Caecilia’s Tripp’s project Interstellar Sleep at the Art Gallery of York University (AGYU) and 259 Lake Shore Blvd East, the night of stargazing moves toward Indigenizing Astronomy curricula. Stargazers are invited to bring along comfortable seating and blankets.
