Yahndawa’: Portages entre Wendake et Québec
Exchange project
2020-2022
Yahndawa’ is an exchange among seven artists from Wendake and seven artists from Quebec City who have been asked to discuss their practices, collaborate, and co-create with the support of seven artists’ organizations. Following the river (yahndawa’—known as the Atiawenhrahk/Saint-Charles) that joins our two communities and embracing the notion of portaging, we each entered the project with our own baggage which we then unpacked in new lands, all the while supporting each other in our shared adventures.
This project paved the way for an exchange about artistic practices themselves, but above all it allowed us to discuss and reflect more broadly on our conceptions, our ways of doing things, our visions, our realities, and our identities.
