Ghostkeeper is the first major look back at the extraordinary art practice of Ahasiw Maskegon-Iskwew (1958-2006). Ahasiw was among the first aboriginal artists in Canada to work in performance, and the internet. Ahasiw Maskegon-Iskwew's work as a curator, producer, and writer laid important groundwork for Aboriginal artists in these fields. He is an important voice in the development of these media within the aboriginal communities and beyond.

ARCTICNOISE is a media installation by Geronimo Inutiq (madeskimo) that draws on film footage and sound materials source from the Isuma Archive at the National Gallery of Canada, as well as sound and film materials from the artist's personal collection and other ethnographic material. Conceived as an Indigenous response to Glenn Gould's celebrated composition "The Idea of the North". Inutiq will appropriate Gould's piece as a musical score, paired with new voices and imagery to produce a layered and multi-vocal work.

On July 29th, Reeve will present a lecture exploring the man-nature relationship from the perspective of the visual arts. Whilst Reeve pays respect to an understanding of the historical and social cration of the so-called man-nature understanding of the historical and social creation of the so-called man-nature paradox, indeed of the category 'nature' itself, her main aim in this lecture is to highlight both the pitfalls and potential strengths for contemporary artists taking the natural environment as their subject. The lecture will also include some explanation of Reeve's own methodology in creating performances and static works which explore nature and potential language forms laid in its services.
