Cradled Origins is a selection of artworks that features eight emerging and mid-career First Nations artists working in a variety of mediums. Through carvings, weavings, paintings and beadwork, each artist honours the cultural knowledge that they carry and hold while expanding the boundaries of their individual practices. Demonstrated in this exhibition are examples of those connections and the understanding of the weight and importance of teachings that have been passed down from generation to generation.

Co-curated by BRG curators Aliya Boubard and Carmen Redunante, this exhibition features the work of Chase Gray, Chico Seitcher, Delphine Campbell, Grace Edwards, James Kwaksistala, Kashka Clellamin, Randi Ball and Serena Steel.

We are proud to partner with the Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art to present and celebrate the recipients of the 2024 Artist Scholarships for this exhibition.
