Paragraph Text

A multigenerational exploration of kinship and artistic exchange, Elliptical Lineages will run from June 7 to September 7, 2025.  

BANFF, AB, June 13, 2025 – Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity is proud to announce the opening of Elliptical Lineages, a new group exhibition curated by Jacqueline Bell, Director, Walter Phillips Gallery and Collections at Banff Centre. Elliptical Lineages is on view from June 7 to September 7, 2025, with a public reception on Friday, June 27, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.  

Featuring works by Hangama Amiri, Badrin x Blackburn, seth cardinal dodginghorse, Letitia Fraser, John de Haan and Jason de Haan, Hali Heavy Shield, Norma Houle, Sarah Houle, Frank McKeough, Rita McKeough, Aaron McIntosh, Anne Ngan, Gailan Ngan, Wayne Ngan, Jamie Ross and David Ross, Kirsten Ryder, and tīná gúyáńí, Elliptical Lineages presents the work of artists that engage the creative practices of a family member or those whom they consider kin. A compelling investigation into conventional ideas of artistic lineage, the exhibition embraces the complexity of creative exchange and transmission of knowledge between generations as well as among chosen family. 

Quotation

“Elliptical Lineages features works that reflect the ways in which artists honour the creative practices of family members of those whom they consider kin, that are the result of direct collaboration between different generations, or where the individual work of kin is shared alongside one another. There is an emotional weight to Elliptical Lineages that is indicative of the connections to family, kinship, or creative lineage present in many of the exhibited works. Relationships – be it to land or place, heritage, cultural traditions, or to one another, are often foregrounded, contributing to a depth of meaning in the works both for many of the artists and for those experiencing Elliptical Lineages as visitors.”

Paragraph Text

The exhibition spans an extensive range of media. A number of works reference craft traditions, with artists employing forms of making with a history in their families such as crochet or quilt-making that are transposed into new form. Beading as an art form and cultural practice taught from one generation to another as well as across lines of kinship is also central to the exhibition. Other works are reflective of creative means of living and making within the context of daily life, and are produced using found objects, or through processes such as recycling fabric from worn clothing into functional quilts. Garment-making is variously the subject or form of works that use textiles, beadwork or embroidery. Works in animation, video, sound, ceramics, painting, and sculpture are presented alongside performing objects and a children’s book reimagined as a mural. 

Elliptical Lineages invites viewers to consider relationships between kinship, creative practice, and its exchange.

Biography

In her adopted hometown of Calgary (Moh’kinsstis, Treaty 7) Kenna has earned a reputation as a fearless songwriter, performer collaborator, producer, teacher, and writer.

Since doing her time in the institutional hallowed halls of classical music education, Kenna’s love for all creative forms has driven her involvement in a diversity of projects. Collaboratory and theatrical work dovetails into her daily concerns of dive bar gigs, soft seater performances, free public singalongs, studio work, teaching songwriting and writing about creativity.

Kenna’s solo albums span classical-cabaret-pop-rock and jazz; musical affairs that draw on her vast technical and artistic know-how. The complexities of her songwriting reflect the heart of an artist who is never content to restrict herself to one genre, one project, or one ideal. Kenna’s love of the song is obvious in her regular piano lounge offerings; entertaining audiences with her original interpretations of hits spanning Ella Fitzgerald to Elton John to Chappell Roan.

Her latest album While She Sleeps is available now on streaming platforms everywhere.
