| Lord Hall Gallery presents Ji zoongde’eyaang, an exhibition featuring the work of Lara Kramer and Ida Baptiste, from August 26-October 15, 2024, with a reception and live performance in Lord Hall Gallery on October 4th from 5-7pm. Kramer will present a public lecture in IMRC 104 on October 1st at 7pm. All events are free and the public is warmly welcomed.
In this collaborative mother-daughter exhibition, Anishinaabe Oji-Cree artists Ida Baptiste and Lara Kramer bring forward their relational practices through generations to express and represent embodied experiences like memory, loss, and reclamation. The title of the exhibition, Ji zoongde’eyaang, means “to have a strong heart” in Anishnaabemowin. The exhibit features older, never shown works of Ida Baptiste from the early 1990’s that draw on her memories of attending Brandon Indian Residential School. It also features a series of contemporary pieces by both artists in various mediums, including visual art, video, text and sound. This event is co-sponsored by the Department of Art, IMFA Program, Canadian American Programs, the Hudson Museum, and the Honors College, and was made possible by the Cultural Affairs/Distinguished Lecture Series Fund. Questions about the exhibition can be directed to Director of Galleries Diana Baumbach at diana.baumbach@maine.edu Additional information about the exhibition is available at Kramer’s website, www.larakramer.ca, and on Lord Hall Gallery’s Instagram, @ umaine_lordhallgallery |
