[***#callresponse***](http://bit.ly/2FESF6P?ref=hyperallergic.com) isan artistic and curatorial collaboration led by Indigenous women, structured as a connective support system that moves between specificity of Indigenous nations, site, online space and the gallery.

This exhibition features commissioned artworks by five Indigenous North American women artists and their invited guest respondents. The pairings include **Christi Belcourt** and **Isaac Murdoch** of the **Onaman Collective**; **Maria Hupfield**, **IV Castellanos** and **Esther Neff**; **Ursula Johnson** and **Cheryl L’Hirondelle**; **Tania Willard** and **Marcia Crosby**; and **Laakkuluk Williamson-Bathory** and **Tanya Tagaq,** as well as local respondents **Jennifer Kreisberg** and **Laura Ortman**. A touring exhibition opened at Vancouver’s grunt gallery in 2016, and continues to engage each geographic location with specific programming.

**CALL**  
To support the work of Indigenous women through art that drives dialogue and mobilizes action on the topic of reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. To stand together across sovereign territories as accomplices in awakened solidarity with all our relations both human and non

**RESPONSE**  
To ground art in accountability, value lived experience and build upon systems of support. To enact strategies of resurgence, resilience and refusal against the ongoing multiple articulations of power and structural colonial violence of nation states.

Organized by **Tarah Hogue, Maria Hupfield,** and **Tania Willard**.
