Roadside Occupations is a collaborative exhibition between Teresa Vander Meer-Chassé, an Upper Tanana, White River First Nation artist, and myself, an artist of settler ancestry. It's made up of two parts.
Get There From Here includes paintings I created at roadside every 50 km across Canada east to west to north, depicting the road and the landscape it passes through. In Roadside Occupations, they are installed in sequence, with the Indigenous languages and traditional territories the road runs through written on the walls around them in willow charcoal. Teresa helped me research how to best do this.
