The Carnegie Response seeks to rethink the word ‘repatriation’ and how we can work towards repairing the damage done across Turtle Island through the harsh colonial practices of ‘exploration’. Looking at the specimens, both flora and fauna, and drawing from them I will make a series of beadings that honour these beings. Carnegie Response looks at the flora and fauna taken from in and around Nbisiing to Mushkegowuk territory.

•A beaded snow goose will be made in collaboration with the specimens/beings held at the Carnegie Museum

•This artwork will be as similar to the specimens/beings as possible to honour them with the utmost respect

•Beading is a way to spend time with and honour specimens/beings through the devotion of time - this is an act of respect and actively learning through artistic practice.
