ABOUT THE GATHERING GREAT PLAINS SERIES
This exhibition is part of the Gathering Great Plains Series—a partnership and program by MacKenzie Art Gallery and Remai Modern that features exhibitions, thoughtful panel discussions, and opportunities for community engagement. Centred on themes of movement, borders, and migration, the series positions the Great Plains as a gathering force—a witness and participant shaped by the stories it holds. Guided by the impetus to bring to light narratives that have long been overlooked, the series centres the voices of marginalized and racialized communities and offers space for reflection, dialogue, and the possibility of renewed relationships with each other and the land.
