Teiakwanahstahsontéhrha’ | We Extend the Rafters

Billed as a children's exhibit but offering a lesson on Mohawk culture for all ages, artist Skawennati's MSVU installation is an "Indigenous virtual environment addressing history, the future and change." The skeleton of a traditional long house fills the space, anchored at one end with a screening of "a futuristic saga set in 3025, yet firmly rooted in the ancestral Haudenosaunee confederation story."
"Visitors of all ages are invited to explore traditions and imagine the world of tomorrow in this 'museum of the future'," the gallery adds.
