“Nanibush has been a vocal critic of settler-colonialism in Canada and around
the world. Her targeting threatens all who are committed to decolonization, and
especially Indigenous and Palestinian practitioners at this moment.”

SILENCE FROM THE AGO

Nanibush’s departure from the AGO has been shrouded in mystery, despite the
gallery celebrating her many achievements in curating groundbreaking and
award-winning exhibitions by First Nations, Inuit, Métis, and international
Indigenous artists, and her role in re-organizing the institution’s Indigenous
and Canadian art collections as a nation-to-nation agreement.

Her forced resignation from the museum came to light only through the work of
audience members and investigative reporters—evidence that museum administration
hoped to obscure the conditions of her departure to maintain a façade of
reconciliation while quietly silencing the work of Indigenous leaders.
