Art Among Nomadic Peoples: imaginary and healing

© M. Boutin, 2014

Artist and art therapist Sonia Robertson will grace Montreal with her esteemed presence to present artistic work related to the imaginary that she regularly practices with Ilnuatsch (Innu) audiences. It is her conviction that a person’s balance and well-being are linked to a well maintained relationship to the imaginary. Her ever-evolving art practice is grounded in her culture and marked by the repetition of gesture and an investigation of Unity through tension between polarities. She interrogates the links between visible and invisible, between the Spirit World and the human, between interior and exterior by suggesting a new way of looking. Her installations and actions are concerned with movement, the use of space, in the image, sound and text. She creates a unique site-specific work for each site according to the history of the place. Her works are like rituals, sacred spaces to hold healing.
