TimeTraveller™ by Skawennati

Sunday, March 12 - Sunday, March 19. 11 am, 12:15 pm, 1:30 pm, 2:45 pm
Jackman Hall, Art Gallery of Ontario

TimeTraveller™ tells the story of Hunter, a young Mohawk man living in the twenty-second century who meets Karahkwenhawi, a young Mohawk woman from our era. Follow them while they use an edutainment system popular in the future —TimeTraveller™— to embark on a virtual joyride that immerses them in historical events significant to Native North Americans, such as the Dakota Sioux Uprising, the Oka Crisis and the occupation of Alcatraz Island.

NOTE: TimeTraveller™ is a nine episode series, and contains coarse language, discussions of sex and depictions of nudity.

Skawennati makes art that addresses history, the future, and change. Her work has been presented internationally. A Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) of Kahnawà:ke residing in Montreal, she co-directs Aboriginal Territories in Cyberspace, a research-creation network based at Concordia University. She is represented by ELLEPHANT.
