Adrian Stimson : Maanipokaa'iiniTools Hogue, Tarah. Adrian Stimson : Maanipokaa'iini. Saskatoon, SK: Remai Modern; Toronto, Ont.: Art Metropole, 2022.
Abstract (English)"Maanipokaa'iini is the first-ever survey of the work of the Siksika Nation artist Adrian Stimson. Across installation, painting, photography, video and live performance, Stimson re-signifies colonial history through humour and counter-memory. The exhibition features significant works from Stimson's nearly 20-year practice that explore identity construction, the centrality of the bison to Blackfoot spirituality and survival, and the intergenerational impacts of the residential school system. These interconnected areas of focus form an encompassing vision wherein the fraught history of Indigenous-settler relations on the Plains is simultaneously mourned and turned on its head."-- Publisher's website
