SA’SE’WAMUKWA’SIT, CHANGES BY ALEX BALKAM

Sydney & Area

Jun 1 – Jun 13

About

Alex Balkam is a visual and media artist based in So’qmkiknuk, Mi’kma’ki (Shelburne, NS). Working across oil painting, sculpture, tanning, and film, his practice moves through questions of place, being, and the natural world. His short films have been shown at festivals across Canada, and his work is held in the Nova Scotia Art Bank.

Sa’se’wamukwa’sit is a Mi’kmaw word meaning to change appearance, to transform. The natural world has always changed. It is changing now, under pressures of our making. These works watch closely, and ask what transformation requires of us.
