"Sarah Burnstick" by Mando Littlechild — 36x24 Framed
Mando Littlechild is a non-binary, two-spirit artist from Maskwacis, Alberta. Art has been one of their main expressions of creativity and communication since they were a child, with their main inspiration coming from limited colour palettes and landscapes. Mando chose to paint a portrait of her late Kokom (grandmother) Sarah Burnstick. Sarah was a residential school survivor, and a powwow dancer for most of her life. Mando spent most of their childhood with her growing up and learning the old ways from her and their Mosom (grandfather). Sarah was and continues to be a personal hero of hers. Sarah had a very adverse childhood experience and she still managed to care for a large and loving family. To Mando, Sarah represents the Indigenous experience wholly and that's why she deserves to be honoured.
Prints can be picked up at the conclusion of the Artist Project show on Sunday.
