A Collection Built on Relationships
A Collection Built on Relationships
September 30, 2024 to February 28, 2025
Reception: Saturday, October 5 from 1 PM – 3 PM
Curated by Felicity Pope and Olinda Casimiro
The idea for this exhibition emerged as an effort to inform our community about Inuit culture. The objects in the Marsh Collection are a window into a crucial point in Inuit history and art history, a period of profound cultural change, yet since they arrived at the AGN in 1976, they had never been thoroughly researched. In 2021, working alongside Felicity Pope, co-curator of this exhibition, we began to ask what it would take to bring these objects to the AGN community.
Over the next three years, Felicity spearheaded extensive research into the history of the Marsh Collection and the historical context in which it was assembled, re-connecting these works to their communities of origin and, where possible, to the names of the artists who made them. We consulted with Isabelle Avingaq Choquette, Curator at Avataq Cultural Institute, Montreal, to gain a better understanding of their materials, preservation, and the contemporary learnings that inform their presentation in the exhibition and here, in this catalogue.
In 2015, the Canadian Museums Association (CMA) was named in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action #67, calling on galleries and museums to address their colonial origins and bring their policies and practices into alignment with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). This included the delivery of a report, Moved to Action: Activating UNDRIP in Canadian Museums, completed in 2022, that includes recommendations that will guide museums and galleries across the country as we work towards reconciliation.
Conceived the same year as Governor General Mary Simon became the first Indigenous person to hold the position in Canada, A Collection Built on Relationships seeks to contribute to this work by opening important discussions about the AGN’s role in Canada’s colonial history. This exhibition and this catalogue provide us with an opportunity to pause, reflect, and contemplate works of art that continue to inform the fabric of our cultural heritage.

We promise, you will want to see this more than once! The Northumberland Players’ musicals sell out so don’t hesitate!

Wilfred Buck
Thursday, January 16, 2025
Movie at 7:00 pm | Doors open at 6:30 pm
Tickets: Pay what you can
Moving between earth and stars, past and present, this hybrid feature documentary follows the extraordinary life of Wilfred Buck, a charismatic and irreverent Cree Elder who overcame a harrowing yet familiar history of displacement, racism and addiction by reclaiming ancestral star knowledge and ceremony.
Buck is humble, profound, funny, always real and a master storyteller. Narration taken from his autobiography condenses the loss and pain of his youth into powerful, Beat-like poetry. After his community in Northern Manitoba is forcibly relocated to make way for a hydroelectric dam, Buck’s family loses everything. He descends into the darkness of the city streets, surviving any way he can, until he reconnects with Elders who start him on a path that transforms his world. Driven by insatiable curiosity and instructed by dreams, Buck becomes a science educator and internationally respected star lore expert. His mission is sharing these life-changing teachings—as relevant and urgent today as ever—always guided by ceremony and anchored in the land.
Director Lisa Jackson deftly interweaves verité footage of Buck’s present with archival footage and cinematic, dramatized scenes from his past, painting a portrait of a beloved leader who now stands at the forefront of the resurgence of Indigenous ways of knowing.

Dave Young Quintet- Dave's Last Waltz
DAVID YOUNG (double bassist) was born in Winnipeg in 1940. He began studying guitar and violin when he was 10 years old, but a turn of events at his first gig (a university dance band) compelled him to pick up the bass. Educated as both a jazz and a classical player, Young’s elegant performances with the late guitarist Lenny Breau are legendary. He was a member of the Lenny Breau Quartet from 1961 to 1966. Dave Young’s professional relationship with jazz giant Oscar Peterson spanned three decades during which he played in the Oscar Peterson Trio in appearances all over the world up until Peterson’s death. As a classical artist, Dave was the principal Double Bassist with the Edmonton and Winnipeg Symphony Orchestras as well as the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra. As a jazz artist, he has collaborated with the genre’s brightest luminaries including Oscar Peterson, Clark Terry, Zoot Sims, Joe Williams, Oliver Jones. I have presented Dave in numerous jazz configurations at the Cobourg LOFT between 2015 and 2021 and to the Concert Hall at Victoria Hall since then. A highlight for me was his "Two Bass Hit" performed at The LOFT with symphonic bassist Joel Quarrington. One of Dave's most loved musical combinations is his own Quintet, rooted in the be-bop tradition, and focusing on material of Horace Silver, Charles Mingus and in today's concert on the music of Duke Ellington. Dave's Quintet plays a 4 night residency Oct 16, 17, 18,19 at Toronto's Rex Jazz and Blues Bar and "Dave Young: Generations" is a monthly series held on first Tuesdays at Toronto's Jazz Bistro where Dave chooses a band of young players in order to “pass the torch” in Toronto’s jazz scene. The Cobourg Jan 5 Quintet at the Concert Hall at Victoria Hall features Dave Young, bass, Kevin Turcotte, trumpet, Brian Dickinson, piano, John Johnson, sax and Davide DiRenzo, drums.
