DESCRIPTION
Medicine for the Movement: Archival Print
Medicine for the Movement is a contemporary artwork rooted in my perspective as an Ojibwe artist and my ongoing exploration of social justice and resistance. This archival print reproduces my original oil painting, making the work available to more people who want to carry its message into their homes and communities.
Inspired by the ribbon skirt and the jingle dress, this work brings Indigenous visual traditions into conversation with today’s movements. The rainbow represents the inclusive nature of the work: the belief that there is room for all people within the movement for equality, dignity, and human rights.
The jingles of the dress become a visual language of their own. In this painting, I imagine them as protest signs, each carrying the energy of equality, human rights, progressive thought, and the ongoing call for change. Together, they create a rhythm of resistance, an insistence that our voices, our differences, and our humanity matter.
The title speaks to the healing power of collective action, visibility, and hope. For me, resistance is not only about opposing injustice; it is also about imagining and creating a more inclusive future.
The original painting resonated deeply with viewers at its first exhibition and sparked meaningful conversations at my art show. It is part of my Social Justice and Resistance series, where I explore contemporary issues through an Indigenous lens.
Each print is made on 310 gsm cotton rag paper, a museum-grade, acid-free surface known for its soft texture and rich color depth. The print captures the original’s layered color and brushwork and is made to last for generations with proper care.
