*COMING SOON* a new five-part series.
Fifty years ago the Professional Native Indian Artists Incorporation (PNIAI) transformed the art world forever. As part of Indigenous activism happening across the Americas in the 1970s, the “Indian Group of 7” (as they were dubbed by the press at the time) asserted First Nations artistic expressions and self-determination in the face of forced assimilation policies. Their goals: encourage other First Nations artists to paint, create space in national and commercial galleries for First Nations art, and inspire youth. From Expo 67 to their groundbreaking exhibition at the Winnipeg Art Gallery and beyond, learn more about the lives and artistic practices of the PNIAI and its members, and the Group's on-going influence, today.
Hosted by Soleil Launière
Produced by Ryan Barnett, Maia Foster-Sanchez and Nahka Bertrand
Artwork by Caleb Ellison-Dysart
A Knockabout Media Production | Funded by the Government of Canada
