In this edition of Cross Circuits, we are honoured to welcome Waubgeshig Rice, a celebrated Anishinaabe writer and journalist, to reflect on our current exhibitions by Jeneen Frei Njootli and Lucy Raven.

Rice brings a rich and deeply rooted voice, grounded in Anishinaabe knowledge, traditional skills, and storytelling, to illuminate themes of water justice, land, and belonging.

Rice will draw on his own writing and lived experiences to explore how Anishinaabe history, culture, and practices offer essential frameworks for understanding and responding to environmental injustice. He will reflect on how stories, whether written, spoken, or shared in community, act as vessels of knowledge, resilience, and resistance, particularly in the face of colonial histories and ongoing ecological transformation.
