Eric-Paul Riege's installation “a home for Her” was commissioned by the Toronto Biennial of Art and is on view at the Small Arms Inspection Building in Toronto through June 5. The curatorial team includes Candice Hopkins, Tairone Bastien, and Katie Lawson. This installation is a year-long project drawn from a collection of looms and weavings made together with the women in his family. Collectively, the looms create the outline of his childhood home, which now sits empty. For Eric-Paul, inheritance is generated from the intersections between cosmologies, family, story, and Indigenous knowledge. The process of co-creation is also important as it is a means to share teachings and stories: "Our stories and our craft and our teachings and our gifts as Indigenous peoples are woven into our bodies. We have survived and will continue to survive. The makeup of my family and my ancestors permeate from my fingertips into my work. This project allows me to hold hands with my sisters and my mother through a large collaborative weaving piece. Born from a history of fiber artists, textiles connect our history to Diné cosmologies and these stories and beliefs are directly woven in the threads of our family." #EricPaulRiege #StarsGallery #TorontoBiennial
