Eleven Indigenous artists from multiple generations present new works exploring the relationship between Indigenous peoples and fire. Moving beyond the binary of good fire and bad fire, they draw on Indigenous knowledge systems that see fire as a force of stewardship, care, renewal, repair, and regeneration. The works, developed in dialogue with Elders and culture bearers, challenge narratives that frame fire mainly as something to fear or control.
