Médium
Tobacco, melton, sage, satin ribbon, beads
This sculptural installation revolves around two medicine garments, a Métis man’s suit, traditionally made from hide and now fashioned from tobacco leaves, and a women’s jingle dress created with sage clusters and a beaded shawl collar that depicts a star map of the night my Métis mother was born. “The Travellers” expresses a worldview that honours the past through a deep connection to ancestral kinships; one that brings forward my belief that “the future is ancestral,” a potent phrase articulated by Sônia Guajajara & Célia Xakriabá, two leaders of Brazil’s pan-ethnic Indigenous rights movement.

Mimi GellmanVancouver, British Columbia
Mimi Gellman is a visual artist and educator of Anishinaabe/Métis and Ashkenazi heritage, currently teaching at Emily Carr University in Vancouver, Canada. Gellman’s interdisciplinary work in architectural glass, drawing, painting and conceptual installation explores phenomenology and technologies of intuition through an embodied practice of walking and mapping and through works and installations that point to the animacy and agency of objects. She continues to exhibit internationally, with recent exhibitions in France, Germany and Tokyo and was included in the seminal exhibition, "On Line, Drawing Through the 20th Century," at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
