    When is Future? When is Now?  curated by Wolfbabe Collective for Asinbaka Festival. Featuring works by Aylan Couchie, Krista Belle Stewart, Melissa General, Tanya Lukin Linklater, and Theo Jean Cuthand. 

    This immersive exhibition recalls the intimate, familiar and delightful shared spaces of movie-watching. From a lovingly reimagined local video store of Indigenous film to the warmth and comfort of our aunties' living rooms, When is Future? When is Now? conjures up sovereign spaces of relationality and joy that exist in multiple temporalities. Selected from the Indigenous Art Collection at Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada, the works in this exhibition soften the contours of time and memory, and center rhythmic, non-linear narratives that cosmologically envision and celebrate a rounder world. 

    Wolfbabe Collective, Asinabka Festival, and Gallery 101 acknowledge the generous support of the Indigenous Curatorial Collective for this exhibition.
