Beading circle to frame artist’s discussion

Artist Shelley Niro will discuss her work and her exhibition Boundless, currently on display at Art Windsor-Essex, over a beading circle and turkey lunch on Friday, Oct. 7.

Presented by the Aboriginal Education Centre - Turtle Island and Windsor Law in partnership with Art Windsor-Essex, the event is open to all and starts at noon in room 115, Dillon Hall.

It will open with a drop-in beading circle — participants may bring their own projects or can receive a Red Dress kit in advance by emailing katpasq@uwindsor.ca. After lunch, Niro will speak and take questions.

Niro is a member of the Turtle Clan, Bay of Quinte Mohawk from the Six Nations Reserve. An artist and filmmaker, she has exhibited across Canada and presented her work at the 2003 Venice Biennale.

Boundless gathers photographs demonstrating Niro’s reflection on her community and relationship to landscape.
