Pushing the Line: Art Without Reservations

Artists Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, Marianne Nicolson, Sonny Assu and Andrew Dexel create work that pushes boundaries, redefining what society has come to expect of First Peoples art. Director Lisa Jackson takes us on a thought-provoking journey from remote coastal villages, through tacky souvenir shops and into the glitz of modern art galleries, to reveal the evolution of contemporary Indigenous art as we know it.
