Joi T Arcand in Canadian Art Feature: Late Arrivals

Artist Joi T. Arcand, who is from the Muskeg Lake Cree Nation, presented a neon work entitled ᐁᑳᐏᔭ ᓀᐯᐃᐧᓯ (ekawiya nepewisi) (2017). Arcand embeds Cree syllabics, thus interpolating into the symbolic order (capitalism, patriarchy) a language for the most part readable only by the members of her own community.
