Starting today, the second instalment of ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ท๐ฆ ๐๐ณ๐ข๐ท๐ฆ๐ญ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฅ continues on the Urban Screen. Running through to August 3, 2026, the programme features work by Zachery Longboy and Red Buffalo Nova Weipert.
Born from a dream Longboy had where he led a parade out of the forest, ๐๐ถ๐ข๐ณ๐ฅ๐ช๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฑ is a layered, collaged, digital diary of filmed and found footage, animations, and performance. Just as in dreams themselves, these fragments manipulate, twist, and morph into each other. Moving through Longboyโs dream space, one canโt help but wonderโโwhat did last nightโs slumber tell you?โ
#๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ๐ค๐ฉ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ง๐ช๐ญ๐ญ is an experimental short film that weaves together Indigenous resilience and strength while calling attention to the systemic racism and injustices maintained by colonialism. Highlighting the inaction of the Manitoba government, the film serves as an emotional call to action to protect our stolen relatives.
The Libby Leshgold Gallery is pleased to partner with the ECU Aboriginal Gathering Place on this programme as part of the exhibition, ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ท๐ฆ ๐๐ณ๐ข๐ท๐ฆ๐ญ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฅ, which ran February 2โMarch 7, 2026, in the Michael OโBrian Exhibition Commons. The exhibition was curated by Leanne Inuarak-Dall and Vance Wright and placed special emphasis on Indigenous alumni, students, staff and faculty as part of ECUโs 100th anniversary celebrations.
