Ziigwan: New Acquisitions to the Permanent Collection
Ziigwan means “spring” or “early spring” in Anishinaabemowin. In the north, the first signs of spring include ice breaking, snow melting, birdsong, and a lingering chill in the air. In this selection of works, currents of ice blue, wane yellow, and mud-puddle brown flow through images of animals, birds, landscapes, human figures, beings, and stories, and teachings.
