Celebration of Self is a collection of artwork made by Indigenous youth of the Indigenous Youth Residency Program. The exhibition seeks to provide a safe accessible space for indigenous young people to engage in indigenous-led conversations around colonialism, while showcasing each artist’s strength and resiliency through their work. We are proud to show you a sneak peek of one of our talented artists, Jesslyn Friday! Her unique and careful attention to detail is breathtaking! Check it out at: acc-cca.com/celebration-of-self/
