Crossing Lines: An Intercultural Dialogue brings together eight artists from different parts of Canada to examine the issues of connection and disconnection and explores the sites of intersection and divergence that exist between immigrant and Indigenous communities. Taking place at the Glenhyrst Art Gallery in Brantford, located next to the Six Nations of the Grand River Territory and home to a significant South Asian community, this exhibition attempts to explore the possibility of intercultural dialogues between these communities by bringing together artists from different Indigenous and South Asian background.
