Meryl McMaster Exhibition Information:
Meryl McMaster: Bloodline is a survey exhibition featuring the pioneering large-scale photographic works of Canadian artist Meryl McMaster (b. 1988), reflecting her mixed nêhiyaw(Plains Cree)/Siksika, Dutch, and British ancestry. This exhibition spans McMaster’s past accomplishments and her recent explorations of family histories, particularly those of her Plains Cree/Métis female forebears from the Red Pheasant Cree Nation in present-day Saskatchewan, Canada. The exhibition features 48 photographs across six bodies of work, evoking themes of memory, containment, erasure, and self-determination. This is the first major solo exhibition of Meryl McMaster’s work outside of Canada.
