Indigenous Blue by Brian Francis
“Indigenous Blue" is a captivating art exhibit that celebrates the rich cultural heritage and spiritual significance of the color blue in Indigenous culture and traditions. This exhibit showcases the unique and diverse artworks created by Indigenous artist Brian Francis that delve into the profound connections between blue and the intricate tapestry of Indigenous spirituality and worldview.
For the month of April, Brian has transformed the gallery into an immersive cultural experience that envelops you from scent to sight and sound. Beyond his incredible artistic series, the gallery also features a space curated by Brian to showcase the history and culture of the Mi’kmaq people.
Knock Knock! by Natt Cann
Natt Cann (he/him) is a Canadian visual artist based in Moncton, New Brunswick. His work explores themes of home and housing, climate and cultural change, and economic and systemic disparity. "Knock Knock! or I Will Never Own a Home" serves as both an appreciation of what currently exists and a warning of what may soon be lost.
The series, featuring over 200 images of Atlantic Canadian doors, contrasts the charm of historic architecture with the rise of faceless modern developments.
Mono-printed through photochemical transfer, these images convey a sense of vanishing into their replacements. Supported by ArtsNB and the Canada Council for the Arts, Natt employs prints, installations, and community engagement to spark meaningful conversations and has been showcased across Canada. Bright & Brine is thrilled to present a selection from this series.
