A Fine Pointed Belonging.
Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre. Kingston ON. 2019.
A Fine Pointed Belonging is a collaborative exhibition by contemporary artists Jeneen Frei Njootli (Vuntut Gwitchin Nation) and Dayna Danger (Métis/Saulteaux/Polish) curated by Genevieve Flavelle.
Drawing on Danger and Njootli's multifaceted practices and friendship, the exhibition explored the negotiation of consensual representation and what is given to be seen. Through collaborative performance, photography, and sculpture-based works, the artists invited viewers to consider what consensual representation can look like for their bodies, identities, and cultures when the pervasive demands of settler colonialism are subverted. Building on trust, embodied experience, and cultural knowledge, A Fine Pointed Belonging explores making new belongings, belonging with each other as a kin, and belonging to oneself as a sovereign subject.
