Talking Earth, a new permanent public artwork by Tekaronhihkhwa / Santee Smith will be unveiled in front of the Gardiner Museum. Part of ArtworxTO: Toronto's Year of Public Art 20212022, the sculpture was commissioned by the Gardiner to honour the ongoing Indigenous presence on Turtle Island. On June 10, 11, and 12 at 9:15 pm, Talking Earth will be activated in a series of free public performances by Kaha:wi Dance Theatre on the Gardiners outdoor plaza. 3D mapping and projections, including photographs of the Smith family, will animate the artwork and the Museums faade. No registration is necessary. The sculpture takes the form of a Rotinohnsyonni four-cornered earthen pottery vessel, fractured and partially reconstructed, with light shining through the cracks between the broken shards. The vessel symbolizes the disruption and trauma caused by colonization, including the legacy of the residential school system, assimilative policies imposed on womxn, and the crisis of Missing & Murdered Indigenous Womxn and Girls. Moving toward intactness, it evokes the process of re-assembling culture, memory, and ancestral knowledge. Together, the permanent artwork and performance channel the earths voice and story, and more importantly, compel us to listen at this critical moment.
