Threading Through Time: Traditional crafts, stories and atavistic practices bolster Raneece Buddan’s colourful work, investigating identity, history, and ancestry through a range of media, including clay vessels, wood sculptures, textiles and mixed-media wall pieces which all blend into complex self-portraits.

“Though I feel pride in being Jamaican,” says Buddan, “there is a yearning to learn more about the original cultures that formed this new one, where they came from, and how they expressed themselves creatively.” Up now, the opening reception is 6 p.m. March 21, with an in-person tour noon on March 27.

Kisiskâciwan: This Brian Webb Dance Company presentation speaks through dance to a Métis cultural narrative of identity and home. A creative return to the fast-flowing landscape of Saskatchewan — Jeanette Kotowich’s performance reflects the Kah-tep-was, a two-kilometre wide, 180-metre deep valley sacred place that calls generations of peoples for gathering, hunting and spiritual replenishment.

The piece also features live fiddle by Kathleen Nisbet, and is augmented by Thurga Kanagasekarampillai for an ASL audience for its Saturday iteration.
