This is a richly illustrated monograph that surveys the multi-faceted work of Nadia Myre over the past 15 years. Nadia Myre is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores themes of language, culture, and memory, and who sources the culture of her Algonquin ancestors as a way of confronting contemporary realities. In concert with this investigation is a keen interest in creating works which expand over time and foster participatory involvement. Myre attracted international attention when, in 2000-2002, she beaded over the annotated Indian Act with the help of over 200 participants. In 2005, she started The Scar Project, an ongoing 'open lab' where viewers participate by sewing their scars - real & symbolic - onto stretched canvases and writing their 'scar stories' on paper. This monograph provides a comprehensive first look at this Montreal-based artist's remarkable career.
