Experience Woodland

Doug Maracle: Come Walk With Me

October 14, 2023 – January 6, 2024

Woodland Cultural Centre invites you to our new exhibition, Doug Maracle: Come Walk With Me.

Doug is Mohawk Nation, Bear Clan from Six Nations of the Grand River and is known around the world for his craftmanship and artist works. It wasn’t until more recently that his hometown discovered his talents.

This exhibition celebrates the diversity of Doug’s body of work. The work includes woodcarvings, prints, pen & ink sketches meshed with a sense of humour, history, and place.

The viewer will learn about what inspired Doug’s artistic practice and encourage visitors to understand process of sculpting techniques and encourages a younger generation to become interested in the connection between art and narrative of the Haudenosaunee culture within the context of the history of art in Canada. The exhibition provides a point of departure to open the context of craft vs fine art, identity, process.

The exhibition will be available to view October 14th until January 6th, 2024.
