Lindsay Delaronde at Legacy Art Gallery

 In Defiance

October 8, 2016 to January 7, 2017 
opening night: Friday Oct.21,2016 @ 7 pm 


The exhibition premiering at the University of Victoria's Legacy Art Gallery Downtown, IN DEFIANCE emerges from Iroquois Mohawk artist Lindsay Delaronde's photographic project entitled Squaw. This project, in utter defiance to that negative word long often used to denigrate Indigenous women, seeks to break down the stereotypes. These individual portraits dismantle the negative stereotypes of First Nations women by allowing the individuals to portray themselves more authentically reflecting truth of diversity, power, and respect.
