Abstract (English)"For Plug In ICA, Houle will create a new installation inspired by his father’s experiences. Houle’s father spent the first part of his life on the Sandy Bay Reservation in Manitoba. Attending Residential School during the day, Vern Houle spent the rest of his time learning the traditions of the Salteaux (Ojibway) First Nations People. Leaving to join the Canadian Armed Forces at a time when Aboriginal men were not predominant in the service, he traveled across Canada, Europe, and the Middle East, writing to his mother weekly. Offering specific insight into a young Native man’s journey and his relationship with his Ojibway mother, this work speaks of home, connections, place, and time." -- Publisher's website.
