Tracey-Mae Chambers art installation will be featured at Historic Bovarid House from Sept. 8th to Dec. 8th 2024.

Métis artist Tracey-Mae Chambers is working to start conversations about decolonization using fibre site specific art installations across Canada.

Since July 2021 she has created over 150 installations at residential school historical sites,
museums, art galleries and other public spaces. Many of these spaces serve to present a
colonial viewpoint and primarily speak about the settlers who arrived and lived here, but not
the Indigenous people that were displaced along the way. The installations are constructed with red wool, silk, cotton yarn that has been crocheted, knit or woven.
Red is the colour of blood. Red is the slur against Indigenous people. Red is the colour of
passion and anger, danger and power, courage, and love.
She is hoping to bridge the gap between settlers and First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people by
creating art that is approachable and non-confrontational and starting a conversation about
decolonization and reconciliation.
