Through beadwork, textiles, photography, video and sculpture, Montreal-based artist Nadia Myre draws attention to the power and histories of Indigenous textile practices that she situates in a colonial context. "Balancing Acts" is a survey of artwork made over the last ten years – some on view in this exhibition for the first time.

Nadia Myre is a Montreal-based interdisciplinary artist of mixed Algonquin and French Canadian heritage. A member of the Kitigan Zibi Anishnabeg First Nation, her work explores the politics of belonging by positioning her practice within a framework of resistance and resilience.

"Nadia Myre: Balancing Acts" is a Primary Exhibition of the 2019 Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival
