Starting today, the second instalment of 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘞𝘦 𝘏𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 continues on the Urban Screen. Running through to August 3, 2026, the programme features work by Zachery Longboy and Red Buffalo Nova Weipert.
Born from a dream Longboy had where he led a parade out of the forest, 𝘎𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱 is a layered, collaged, digital diary of filmed and found footage, animations, and performance. Just as in dreams themselves, these fragments manipulate, twist, and morph into each other. Moving through Longboy’s dream space, one can’t help but wonder—‘what did last night’s slumber tell you?’
#𝘚𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘭 is an experimental short film that weaves together Indigenous resilience and strength while calling attention to the systemic racism and injustices maintained by colonialism. Highlighting the inaction of the Manitoba government, the film serves as an emotional call to action to protect our stolen relatives.
The Libby Leshgold Gallery is pleased to partner with the ECU Aboriginal Gathering Place on this programme as part of the exhibition, 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘞𝘦 𝘏𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥, which ran February 2–March 7, 2026, in the Michael O’Brian Exhibition Commons. The exhibition was curated by Leanne Inuarak-Dall and Vance Wright and placed special emphasis on Indigenous alumni, students, staff and faculty as part of ECU’s 100th anniversary celebrations.
