Multiples: Tsa’ de yoh do’s, an exploratory look into the many ways multiples are produced and incorporated into both traditional and contemporary First Nations art practice.

Historically, First Nations people created multiples through a variety of methods including basket making forms, potato stamping for basket decoration, and birch bark biting. Multiples: Tsa’ de yoh do’s investigates the diverse ways this cultural strategy is employed by contemporary First Nations artists to address issues of identity, politics, and history. All the works consist of numerous components, either to create one visual statement or various statements on related subjects.

Multiples: Tsa’ de yoh do’s brings together a selection of artworks in a wide range of media including sculpture, photography, printmaking, and painting. The twelve artists of First Nations ancestry featured in the exhibition are Jason Baerg, Carl Beam, Patricia Deadman, Bonnie Devine, Robert Houle, Teresa Marshall, Angelique Merasty, R.G. Miller, Shelley Niro, Veran Pardeahtan, Ann Pinneault, and Arthur Renwick.

Curated by Tom Hill, museum director at The Woodland Cultural Centre in Brantford, Ontario, Multiples: Tsa’ de yoh do’s is the fifth in an annual series of exhibitions co-presented with the Aboriginal Arts Program at The Banff Centre. The exhibition series serves to develop and support curatorial scholarship and artistic investigation into First Nations visual art and culture.
