The catalogue Sakahàn—meaning “to light [a fire]” in the language of the Algonquin peoples—focuses on the 2013 exhibition which brought together more than 150 works of recent Indigenous art by over 80 artists from 16 countries, including impressive installations created specifically for the project. Poetic, unexpected and challenging, the artworks document and interrogate distinct cultural and social issues.
