the aig+c promotes appreciation of northwestern ontario's uniqueness

the advanced institute for globalization + culture (aig+c) proudly presents independent writer, curator, and art historian, dr. elizabeth mcluhan, on, "the shaman's garden: anishnaabe traditions and the roots of morrisseau's global vision." everyone is invited to this, the second public lecture of the aig+c in 2009-10, which takes place april 17.

mcluhan is a founding board member of the norval morrisseau heritage society, and was one of the first art curators to work with morrisseau. while curator at the thunder bay national exhibition centre, she co-curated with tom hill the ground-breaking exhibition and book, norval morrisseau and the emergence of the image makers, which examined the context and development of morrisseau's work and its resulting impact on the generation of artists that followed.

the aig+c was founded to provide a platform for advanced research on any subject of relevance to our transnational reality, including the roles that culture plays as inspiration, challenge, and economic stimulus. to become a member of the aig+c, click here.
