Exhibition showcasing Indigenous architecture arrives in Edmonton – ANNews

April 24, 2025

(ANNews) – An interactive multimedia exhibition telling the stories of Indigenous architects on Turtle Island has come to Edmonton seven years after its debut on the international stage at the Venice Architecture Biennale.

The installation, Unceded: Voices of the Land, might “be the most important expression of Canadian Indigeneity ever presented in an exhibition outside of this country,” according to Mark O’Neill, the former president and CEO of the Canadian Museum of History, which hosted Unceded in 2019.

Elder Douglas Cardinal, who designed the Canadian Museum of History, conceived of Unceded after he was selected to lead a team of Indigenous architects, including co-curators David T. Fortin and Gerald McMaster, to represent Canada in Venice in 2018.

The exhibition, which presents the work of 18 Indigenous architects from across Turtle Island, is being displayed at City Centre Mall (West) until June 21.
