Dakiimi / To have land: An Exhibition by Amber Smith-Quail
September 16th – October 6th, 2026
Amber Quail anchors her practice in Toronto and South Algonquin. As an off-reserve member of Alderville First Nation, Quail navigates a unique dual lineage; her father was Anishinaabe, while her mother descended from Scottish and English settlers. This ancestry has deeply influenced both her personal and artistic worldview. In her early memories, Quail recalls household politics, the negotiation of space between two nations and the firm, determined push for the survivance of the last remaining pieces of Indigenous ways of knowing and being. As a young one, Quail felt torn between these two legacies; both included and excluded.
