The Indigenous Visual Culture program at OCAD University is celebrating our 10th anniversary with an exhibition. This exhibition will showcase the talent and diverse practices of the Indigenous Visual Culture community, including current and former students and faculty. 

Nigig, the otter, is the totem of the Indigenous Visual Culture program at OCADU. We chose the otter because they dive down into the depths of unknown waters and emerges with a tool upon which to crack open the shell of their imagination. They are playful, dexterous, inventive, curious, filled with boundless energy and joy.

Opening Reception June 21, 3pm 
June 21 - August 14th, 2023 at OCAD University’s Ignite Gallery located at 100 McCaul St.

The Indigenous Visual Culture Program occurs on the homelands of the Haudenosaunee, the Anishinaabeg, and the Wendat. INVC sets our intentions to live within the laws of these host nations and to building meaningful relationships with the lands and waters.
