Description

Photography, sculpture, woven work, folk art, painting, found art, and more.When Terry Graff and Alan Syliboy decided to investigate contemporary First Nations art in New Brunswick, they set out on a road trip.

They visited the Mi'kmaq Nation communities and Wolastoqey Nation communities.

The result was an exhibition and a book, a journal that captured the essence of the road trip through Graff's words and Syliboy's magnificent photographs.The book captures their high-octane meeting with heavy metal musician Eric Miller; Robert Pictou's model boats and surprising works of art; their poignant visit with John Seca Labillois, who conjured a drum from the trunk of a 600-year-old tree; Peter Augustine's collection of antlers; the sacred site of the Sundance ceremony at Big Cove; and the story of the Brooks family's efforts to repatriate the 200-year-old Grandfather Akwiten canoe.

Ekpahak brings together a synthesis of cultural traditions and artistic practise that today serves as expressions of self-determination.
