Gallery 101
G101 is honoured to open our 2023 exhibition season with Migrating Seeds: a solo exhibition by Ginnifer Menominee .inbetween , curated by Amin Alsaden.

Join us Saturday February 11, 2:00-5:00 PM for an in-person vernissage.


Exhibition statement excerpt:
At the centre of Migrating Seeds is wild rice: Manomin, which means the “Good Seed,” and where the artist’s last name, Menominee (“Wild Rice People”) comes from. This denotes the deep significance of Manomin, a grain that was conscientiously harvested, without cultivation, by the artist’s community in a form of reciprocal, symbiotic sustenance.

Ginnifer Menominee presents new works in a variety of mediums—sculpture, installation, photography, and beading—all of which relay different aspects of their relationship with wild rice. The works constitute acts of affirmation of their Anishinaabe culture and belonging, avowing healing and the notion of coming home, as well as resistance against insidious forces of erasure. The exhibition acknowledges the displacement of their family, along with many other Indigenous peoples who had to leave their territories behind, and the ways through which connections to one’s community and ancestors might be reforged from a distance. This exhibition is equally about spreading “good seeds” (Manomin) for a future that breaks the cycles of pain and longing; seeds that might migrate but take root in new places, through a sense of accountability and care for wherever one might reside.

Migrating Seeds opens Saturday February 11 and runs until March 11 2023 at Gallery 101.

Love these marsupials we need them more than ever

"One of the cutest beings on this planet, an opossum, also one of the most misunderstood. They are marsupials, they do not transmit rabies and are indispensable for pest control, they are naturally docile and gentle, and when scared they show their teeth and hiss to appear menacing, but when they are terrified they don't "play" possum - they quite literally faint from fear - so do not harm them!"
