Venue
The Alberta Society of Artists is proud to present “Consumerism,” a group exhibition featuring artworks by various Albertan artists.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Consumerism, the process of acquiring goods and services beyond basic needs, has become ingrained in our culture. The products we buy are central to our daily lives, shaping our identities and ideas. Meanwhile, overconsumption is dramatically impacting our environment.
This exhibition seeks to explore the impacts of consumerism. Working in a wide range of mediums, various artists from around the province engage with this subject from their own perspectives.
About the Land
“Consumerism” is on display at the Western GM Gallery in Drumheller.
The Alberta Society of Artists (ASA) acknowledges that what we call Alberta, where our organization has found its’ home, is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) Confederacy (Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika), the Nehiyawak (Cree), Dene Tha’ (Slavey), Dane-zaa (Beaver), Denesuliné (Chipewyan), Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Iyarhe Nakoda (Stoney) (Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley), and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Metis Homeland.
