March 2017 – September 2017

A Cause for Celebration? First Things First presented the work of three contemporary Indigenous artists and one new Canadian artist who deal with issues of past and present, healing and justice, hope and vision. Diverse in their practices, these artists create work that speaks to present day issues, problems and solutions that emphasize the universality of human experiences. In learning from the past, we will adapt for the future. We will thrive. And that is a cause for celebration.

Featuring the work of:

• Mohan
• Nyle Johnston
• Anong Beam
• Ann Beam
