Nests for the End of the World • the AGA (Art Gallery of Alberta) commissioned artists to envision and create a ‘nest’ to cope with the end of the world; however it may come about. From hopeful and optimistic to humorous and ironic, these ‘nests’ offer reprieve, refuge, rejuvenation and difficult truths. This timely exhibition is a response to our current tumultuous and polarized world where we see the rise of Nationalism, the clashing of belief systems, environmental destruction and the fight to mitigate climate change. Nests will spark conversations and inspire you to think about what your own personal nest might be, how you face current challenges both big and small, and what the future might look like. • one example that my brother @garrettpich and I experienced recently at the installation: Jake Chakasim Wapimisow: Trickster builds a nest for the end of the world • (upper left & lower right of #FotoQuartet )• an introspective creation that foregrounds Indigenous peoples’ capacities to adopt and transform through anthropogenic change.
