We invite you to join us for a closing event and artist talk for Melissa General’s exhibition.

In case you’ve missed it, Melissa has taken over the David Braley and Nancy Gordon sculpture atrium with an exhibition and evolving new body of work centered on her identity as a Mohawk artist from Six Nations of the Grand River Territory, as part of the RBC Artist in Residence program.

Join Melissa General for an artist talk about her practice. Learn how Melissa has been able to reconnect with and honour the land and memory inherently rooted in Six Nations Territory.

Melissa General is Mohawk/Oneida from Six Nations of the Grand River Territory. She is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design and completed a Masters of Fine Arts degree at York University. Working in photography, installation and video, concepts involving memory, history, land and her Indigenous identity have been a focus in her practice. Her work has been exhibited in many galleries including at The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, Harbourfront Centre, Art Gallery of Peterborough and Gallery 44.
