This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) people first signed with the British Crown in 1726. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.

In 2018, Lumière presented the first of its annual festivals with a curatorial theme: Erosion. That theme was inspired by the physical and cultural character of Unama’ki / Cape Breton, an island shaped by the forces of nature and the peoples of many nations who have, over centuries, occupied this land. The 2019 curatorial theme, Transitions, builds upon this idea by inviting artists and the community at large to reflect upon the changes that have shaped this place and those that are leading us into the future.

Nelson MacDonald Thursday, September 26 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm The Highland Arts Theatre, 40 Bentinck St.

Lumière 2019 opens with a screening of short films selected on the festival theme of Transitions. The program is bookended by a pair of films examining familiar movements in the natural world – avian and lunar. In between, we examine societal flux via an animation drawn with the filmmaker’s own blood, a documentary that draws on 100 years of archival footage, and a work assembled entirely of satellite images. The transformations are more personal in three realist dramas that round out the evening; We view aging through the lens of a young transgender woman caring for her grandmother, immigration via a group of Arab teens searching for a pool in their new city, and the generational gap between a young Cree man and his traditional father.

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST PROJECT 12 SPOTLIGHT ARTIST PROJECT David Peters Pyrite Intersection of Prince and Charlotte Street

Pyrite is an illusion. Pyrite the sculpture looks like a rock, something cold and distant but upon interaction with the sculpture you will find a warm home for a rest. My intention is to create a space for respite during the celebrations. The rock I will carve will be a place to gather and warm up, rest and regale each other during a night of festivities. Pyrite is named so is a proud sponsor of after fool’s gold common in the Cape Breton Highlands. This mineral found in quartz is also found near other minerals that drove Industry on the island: coal, iron ore, and its fancier cousin gold. Fool’s gold is beautiful, nonetheless. Pyrite the sculpture speaks to the stage fools who turn out to be augers and truth tellers. Pyrite is visual alchemy: it is the amalgam of incongruity hard surfaces and warm respite.

David Peters is an artist, writer, educator and collaborator. He was born on the east coast of Canada on Cape Breton Island. He studied English Literature in New Brunswick before moving to Vancouver to clean houses and pour concrete. He graduated from Emily Carr University and began building piranha tanks before completing an MFA at the University of Victoria.

241 David Peters | Winnipeg, M.B. Pyrite Intersection of Prince and Charlotte Street Pyrite is an illusion. Pyrite the sculpture looks like a rock, something cold and distant but upon interaction with the sculpture you will find a warm home for a rest. My intention is to create a space for respite during the celebrations. The rock I will carve will be a place to gather and warm up, rest and regale each other during a night of festivities. Pyrite is named so after fool’s gold common in the Cape Breton Highlands. This mineral found in quartz is also found near other minerals that drove Industry on the island: coal, iron ore, and its fancier cousin gold. Fool’s gold is beautiful, nonetheless. Pyrite the sculpture speaks to the stage fools who turn out to be augers and truth tellers. Pyrite is visual alchemy: it is the amalgam of incongruity hard surfaces and warm respite.
