UNCEDED: Voices of the Land is exhibiting in Edmonton until June 21, and we are calling on our community's generosity to support those less fortunate who wish to attend the exhibit while supporting our small non-profit.
Created for the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale, UNCEDED is the first Indigenous-led contemporary architecture exhibit ever presented on the world stage, and the first Canadian Entry to the Venice Architecture Biennale to be presented in North America. Following successful engagements in Venice and Ottawa, UNCEDED brings its breathtaking, immersive experience of the beauty, creativity and worldviews of Indigenous architects to amiskwaciwâskahikan, also known as Edmonton – until June 21 in the heart of downtown.
Led by the world renowned “Contemporary Master of Architecture” and traditional Elder Douglas J. Cardinal, UNCEDED showcases the works and worldview of 18 prominent Indigenous architects and designers from across Turtle Island who share an Indigenous vision for the future of our human family.
