We respect this as the traditional and contemporary  land of diverse Indigenous Peoples including the Plains Cree, Woodland Cree, Beaver Cree, Nitsitapi/Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Anishinaabe/Saulteaux/Ojibwe and Dene Peoples. We also acknowledge the many Indigenous, Inuit and Métis people who make Alberta their home today.

Houda Terjuman (1970) was born to a Syrian father and a Swiss mother in Morocco, where she lives today. Starting from her personal experience but incorporating broader reflections on society, her works speak of migration, exile, and resilience. When she was a child, her father told her that as migrants they had no safety net, so integration was vitally important for survival. However, Terjuman chose instead to cherish her hybrid identity, drawing strength from the mixture of languages and cultures she grew up with, and situating her art practice within this context. 

Recent exhibitions include a group show at Primo Marella Gallery (Milan, Italy), 2018; a live performance at Institut du Monde Arabe (Paris), 2018; a solo show at Casa Arabe (Madrid), 2018; a group show at Galerie Michael Hass (Berlin), 2019; and a research project at Arts Cabinet (London), 2019.
