OTTAWA, Sept. 25, 2019 /CNW/ - Àbadakone | Continuous Fire | Feu continuel, an exhibition of contemporary international Indigenous art opening at the National Gallery of Canada at 5 pm (ET), November 7, 2019, offers a unique opportunity to see works by more than 70 artists identifying with approximately 40 Indigenous Nations, ethnicities, and tribal affiliations from at least 16 countries including Australia, Canada, Guatemala, India, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Russia, South Africa, and the United States.
Àbadakone features a selection of recent creations in a wide range of media, from beadwork to performance art, as well as commissioned installations in the Gallery's public spaces. Through their work, the artists explore current global issues, challenge ideas about identity and history, and create relationships and communities across boundaries that inform, reform and transform our understanding of our place in the world.

Àbadakone advances the National Gallery of Canada's ongoing commitment to Indigenous art, furthered by a robust program of public talks, film screenings, workshops, artist talks and community outreach events during its five-month run.

Arcand; Shuvinai Ashoona; Pierre Aupilardjuk; Rebecca Belmore; Jordan Bennett; Catherine Blackburn; Inger Blix Kvammen; Dempsey Bob; Shary Boyle; Edgar Calel; Manuel Chavajay; Hannah Claus; Dana Claxton; Melissa Cody; Ruth Cuthand; Thirza Cuthand; Mique'l Dangeli & Nick Dangeli; Dayna Danger; Jeneen Frei Njootli; Maureen Gruben; Helen Haig-Brown & Gwaai Edenshaw; Marja Helander; Sky Hopinka; Maria Hupfield; Taiye Idahor, Ursula Johnson; Eleng Luluan; Balu Jivya Mashe; Mata Aho Collective; Siwa Mgoboza; Dylan Miner; Tracey Moffatt; Caroline Monnet; Peter Morin; Zanele Muholi; Joar Nango; Marianne Nicolson; Eko Nugroho; Sayo Ogasawara; Qudus Onikeku; Inga-Wiktoria Påve & Anders Sunna; Fernando Poyón, Fredrik Prost; Skeena Reece; Peter Robinson; Evgeniy Salinder; Sarah Sense; Skawennati; Krista Belle Stewart; Ningiukulu Teevee; Joseph Tisiga; Tribal Women Artists Cooperative; Lucy Tulugarjuk; Rajesh Chaitya Vangad & Gauri Gill; Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory, Jamie Griffiths, Cris Derksen & Christine Tootoo; Will Wilson; and  Lisa Hageman Yahgujanaas.
