From the street, the two-dimensional works in the storefront exhibition k\u2019\u014d-d\u012b \u012by\u00edn\u00e1ts\u2019\u012bd\u00ecsh (new agency) <\/em>are provocatively bright and alluringly minimal. The vibrant orange background evokes the vernacular of a construction site, a familiar hue in Montr\u00e9al where complaints about unending roadwork are common. Driving by Articule, an artist-run-centre in Mile End, one of the city\u2019s hippest and most gentrified neighbourhoods, one is reminded of rampant displacement caused by cycles of renovation, rent hikes, and real estate speculation. Three black-and-white, geometric, house-like structures against the orange backdrop reinforce the clash between the safety of the domestic sphere and the artificial urgency of building development. A yellow dotted line suggesting a roadway cuts across the lower half of the image, announcing another threat to the serenity of the hearth.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n

This installation by t\u012bn\u00e1 g\u00fay\u00e1\u0144\u00ed (Deer Road), an artist collective formed by Tsuut\u2019ina mother and son duo Glenna Cardinal and seth cardinal dodginghorse, was presented in the throes of the second wave of COVID-19 in Qu\u00e9bec. With galleries and museums closed by government mandate, Articule transformed their window into an interactive environment. Passers-by were greeted by a repeating audio track where a woman\u2019s voice reflected on agency<\/em>, loss of agency<\/em>, and the possibilities for new agency<\/em>: \u201closs of agency when Indian agents, government officials \u2014 municipal, provincial, and fed- eral\u2014make decisions for you and your family [\u2026] new agency: to make decisions for you by you.\u201d Five QR codes, imbedded in the three architectural renderings with corresponding geographic coordinates, served as portals to more content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opening these webpages onto their phones, audience members could access a series of videos, postcards, and photo- graphs that critically respond to the environmental and psychological effects of the South West Calgary Ring Road: the project to finish Highway 201, which traverses Tsuut\u2019ina Nation territories, forcefully removed residents and destroyed hectares of traditional land. In 2014, t\u012bn\u00e1 g\u00fay\u00e1\u0144\u00ed were amongst those who lost their ancestral home. One of the QR codes, representing 210 Chaguzagha tsitina (Weaselhead Road) \u2014 the family home \u2014 opened to a handheld camera video that combines storytelling, home video aesthetics, and a recurring overlaid audio clip of Tsuut\u2019ina Nation Chief Roy Whitney announcing the sale of the land following the results of a fraught referendum. Capturing both the affec-tive and material importance of their home, the artist collective juxtaposes the personal, geopolitical, ecological, and colonial implications of the infrastructure project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is taken up again in another video from the 2020 opening ceremony of the Ring Road. Sharing the media limelight with Chief Whitney and Premier Jason Kenney, both of whom celebrated the new section of highway, dodginghorse issues a powerful rebuke of the project and then cuts off his braids. Standing at a podium that reads \u201cAlberta Recovery Plan\u201d with ceremonially dressed Alberta Provincial Police hovering behind him, dodginghorse\u2019s action is poignant, moving, and an embodied reminder of continued settler violence in Canada. Effective in its virtual iteration, k\u2019\u014d-d\u012b \u012by\u00edn\u00e1ts\u2019\u012bd\u00ecsh (new agency) <\/em>adeptly transforms contingency and employs handheld technology as a conceptual and aesthetic opportunity to create a compelling visual experience rooted in the urgency of loss and colonial dispossession.<\/p>\n\n\n
