Where white pines lay over the water

An exploration of indigenous narratives

Julie Nagam’s moving image and sound installation is an exploration of indigenous narratives. where white pines lay over the water challenges the dominant settler account of Toronto City through the portrayal of historians, archaeologists, elders, various texts, the land, maps and archival documents. As artist in residence throughout November, Julie will be developing work around oral histories and knowledge systems within Porirua.
