How can we untangle the conception of garden as a cultivated space so that we can better understand and transform the power relations that have been developed among different life forms? <em>Cultivating Humility <\/em>|<em> M8jagen piwihozw8gan<\/em> delves into the creation of plural spaces of knowledge and transmission, and into the interdependence among living things within which coherent ways of being part of the world are woven. This art and community event is an invitation to recognize and honour plants\u2019 power to resist \u2013 a capacity that is not definitive in form; rather, it can be sensed in plants\u2019 slow growth, toxicity, need for interaction, aptitude for regeneration, and fragility.<\/p><p>The works gathered here propose learning processes and invent ways to forge ethical relations with living beings. They surface the colonial heritage perpetuated in the Western history of plants and tell stories about realities left on the edges. They encourage us to be interested in reciprocal relationships among elements in the ecosystems of which we are a part. Arising from various kinds of awareness of the world, all of these works underline the emotional, cultural, ritual, and curative dimensions of plants; at the same time, they bring to light the processes of erasure, exploitation, dispossession, and exoticization established by colonial realities.<\/p><p>Deployed in a two-part exhibition, at EXPRESSION and at the Jardin Daniel A. S\u00e9guin, <strong><em>Cultivating Humility <\/em>| <em>M8jagen piwihozw8gan<\/em><\/strong> brings together cultural, community, and art practices. The event also makes a leap to La Pocati\u00e8re and Saint-Andr\u00e9-de-Kamouraska for a <a href=\"https:\/\/orange2022.expression.qc.ca\/en\/program\/microfestival-cultiver-lhumilite-kihkasik-anelsuwakon\/\">micro-festival<\/a> organized with the artist-run centre Vrille art actuel, in collaboration with some of the region\u2019s gatherers, artisans, scientists, and Wolastoqiyik knowledge keepers. It is also reflected in a series of <a href=\"https:\/\/orange2022.expression.qc.ca\/en\/programme-public\/\">community activities and workshops<\/a> that allow us to experience and consider our relations with plants, organized with partners in Saint-Hyacinthe and the surrounding region and members of the Odanak W8banaki community, with the cooperation of the Grand Council of the Waban-Aki Nation. And it is extended into an experimental web space, hosted on the website of the 7th edition of ORANGE, in which diverse materials from artists in the exhibition are grouped.\u00a0 Titled <a href=\"https:\/\/lafriche.expression.qc.ca\/\"><em>LA FRICHE<\/em><\/a>, this documentary constellation, stitched together by the assistant curator for the web project, Laura Demers, testifies to the artists\u2019 perspectives and creative processes.<\/p><p>The encounters to which we invite you take place in unceded W8banaki\u00a0and Wolastoqey territory, and we recognize these Nations as guardians of the land and water where we have the privilege of travelling, creating, and gathering.

Leblanc<\/strong> have formed a duo for this 7th edition of the ORANGE event. Gatherers, gardeners, and sippers of herbal tea, they seized the opportunity offered by this project to initiate new relations centred on thoughtful and curative practices involving plants. As Francophone curators \u2013 one Acadian and the other Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois \u2013 Elise Anne and V\u00e9ronique wish to acknowledge their privileges and the fact that their perspectives are those of settlers. Through their actions and relationships, they are committed to adopting a position of humility and reflecting on the ways that their curatorial practices can contribute to decolonization. One is particularly drawn to feminist and queer approaches and imaginaries, and the other to the collaborative and performative dimensions of engaged art practices; their interests intersect in a concern with undoing the hierarchy of knowledges. They share an affinity for decentralized art events and are exploring how to make this curatorial project into a space for collective learning.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e089294 elementor-section-full_width orange-left-8 elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default qodef-elementor-content-no qodef-elementor-stretch-row-no qodef-elementor-overlay-no\" data-id=\"e089294\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-181b738\" data-id=\"181b738\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-922e62d elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"922e62d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"orange-date-title\">\nAssistant curator, <br class=\"orangebr\">web section<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2dffa14\" data-id=\"2dffa14\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-42d439e elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default qodef-elementor-content-no qodef-elementor-stretch-row-no qodef-elementor-overlay-no\" data-id=\"42d439e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-233d28e\" data-id=\"233d28e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-87eb13c orange-bio-photo elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"87eb13c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/orange2022.expression.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/laura-demers.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Laura Demers\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orange2022.expression.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/laura-demers.jpg 600w, https:\/\/orange2022.expression.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/laura-demers-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orange2022.expression.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/laura-demers-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: Miles Rufelds<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6672158 orange-intermedium-24 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"6672158\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\tLaura Demers\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-110f9de elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"110f9de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-56d6204 elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"56d6204\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2effe30 orange-interregular-18 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2effe30\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Laura Demers<\/strong> is an artist, writer, and independent curator based in Toronto.

As Aln8ba8dwaw8gan (Abenaki language) is a descriptive language rooted in tangible realities \u2013 unlike French (or English), which often plays on literary devices and metaphors \u2013 this type of concept is not directly translatable. Grammatically speaking, in Aln8ba8dwaw8gan it is not possible to cultivate something abstract, such as humility, and so the meaning of the title is interpreted differently. The words that are closest to the idea of <em>Cultivating Humility<\/em> are <em>M8jagen piwihozw8gan<\/em>, which can be translated literally as \u201cgrowing, getting bigger\u201d and \u201cmaking oneself small.\u201d The result in English would be something like \u201cgrowing humility.\u201d<\/p><p>In Aln8ba8dwaw8gan, each letter in a word is pronounced. The \u201c8\u201d is a nasal sound between \u201canh\u201d and \u201conh\u201d (like the \u201can\u201d in the French word \u201cmaman\u201d). The letter \u201cj\u201d is pronounced \u201cdz,\u201d and the \u201cg\u201d is always hard, as in the word \u201cglove.\u201d The \u201ci\u201d is pronounced \u201ceh\u201d and the letter \u201ch\u201d is always aspirated. Finally, the \u201ca\u201d is pronounced \u201caw,\u201d as in \u201cfather.\u201d\u00a0So, the title <em>M8jagen piwihozw8gan<\/em> is pronounced \u201cMahndzawgen pehwehhozwanhgawn<em>.<\/em>\u201d<\/p><p style=\"text-align: right;\">Philippe Charland<br \/>Translator<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>cultiverl&#8217;humilit\u00e9 m8jagenpiwihozw8gan cultivatinghumility June 12 to September 11 2022 What do we want to learn from plants?
