Assail, Fight, Protest, Slam



Bruno Canadien


+15 Window Exhibition
June 4 to July 30, 2011

Assail, Fight, Protest, Slam is a series of painted panels offering artistic resistance to the petroleum industry’s occupation of First Nations’ territories in northern Alberta – where ongoing development in the form of exploratory roads, test wells and pipelines has usually proceeded in the face of considerable native resistance.
