Here I am, can you see me? : Curated by MJ Belcourt Moses, George Littlechild’s new exhibition at the Alberta Art Gallery is emotionally heartbreaking … and a must-see, from the haunted looks on children’s faces to the cold ferocity of the nuns. He explains: “This work includes a series of 22 drawings of First Nations children who died while attending a residential school in Maskwacis, AB. I want to give remembrance, recognition, honor and validation to the thousands of innocent children that no one is able to recognize while they are among their residential school mates in the photographs, almost forgotten in the museum’s archive collections. In this way, I seek to legitimize their lives and restore a minimum of dignity and importance to their short existence in the world ”.
