Kokum; Mohkinstsis Showing, 2016.

~An original installation by Namaakii Bee for group exhibition Cream.~

Cream, June 16th - August 21st, 2016. Contemporary Calgary, Mohkinstsis, AB.

Contemporary Calgary and Sled Island Music and Arts Festival are proud to present Cream, featuring work by Namaakii Bee Bear Hat, Wednesday Lupypciw, MT JR., Heather Kai Smith, and Sarah van Sloten.

Cream brings together six artists whose works explore a transition between two forms or ideas, bridging often-divergent conceptual spaces in order to develop a broader understanding of each. Past and present; memory and reality; physical and digital; boundaries found between disciplines, between artist and audience, or between artwork and gallery space. Whether the intention is to develop a deeper understanding of one’s history, surroundings, or society, each artist in Cream demonstrates that these forms are greater than the sum of their parts by employing elements of each to explore themes ranging from gender and identity to materiality, and using diverse mediums including installation, drawing, painting, video, and sculpture.
