Adrian Stimson's bison paintings force viewers to reckon with Canada's colonial history
Alberta Indigenous artist Adrian Stimson's solo European exhibit, 'Manifest Buffalo: A Bison Dream,' opened in London, aiming to spark dialogue about Canada's colonial history with Indigenous people. The exhibition features 36 paintings that reimagine the bison in various scenes, symbolizing the past, present, and future. The exhibit, held at Gurr Johns, marks a significant departure from the traditional art typically showcased on Pall Mall. The High Commission of Canada in the UK supported the event, emphasizing the role of arts in advancing Indigenous reconciliation. Stimson's work, including his Blackfoot name Little Brown Boy and his alter ego Buffalo Boy, reflects the cultural significance of the bison to First Nations and addresses the historical trauma of colonization while celebrating the resilience of Indigenous peoples.
Why some Welsh people think Charles should have been the last Prince of Wales
The investiture of the Prince of Wales is a contentious issue in Wales, with many viewing it as a symbol of historical oppression following the conquest by Edward I of England. The title, held by the heir apparent to the English throne for over 700 years, is seen by some as a reminder of subjugation. The recent passing of the title to Prince William sparked debate and a motion to abolish it was passed in Gwynedd county. While some Welsh citizens view the monarchy as an integral part of their identity, others, including Welsh independence advocates and those with a strong Welsh identity, see it as outdated and disrespectful. Prince William has no current plans for an investiture ceremony and aims to understand Welsh issues, but opposition remains strong among those who feel the title is inherently disrespectful.
