Summary: "ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ and the Circumpolar North have been shaped for centuries by Indigenous women’s
creativity, labor and love. With colonization and the arrival of Western cultures,
the North became seen as a masculine testing ground, a place to be explored, exploited
and developed. Artists, mothers, scientists and makers included in this exhibition
confront and dismantle this myth, testifying to the vital role that both Indigenous
and newcomer women have held, and continue to hold, in Northern communities.
From ceremony to social critique, the artworks, historical objects and archival images on view capture and communicate their makers' experiences of landscape and place, gender roles and social norms, work and childrearing. In a North being shaped at unprecedented rates by the forces of climate change and globalization, women’s voices and visions provide rich ground for imagining a future guided by principles of gender equity, sustainability and strength. Extra Tough upholds and celebrates the stories and perspectives of Northern women. It also examines the traditional and non-traditional roles and contributions of women throughout ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ’s history."

Summary: "Mapping the Gay Guides aims to understand often ignored queer geographies using the
Damron Address Books, an early but longstanding travel guide aimed at gay men since
the early 1960s. Similar in function to the green books used by African Americans
during the Jim Crow era to help identify businesses that catered to black clients
in the South, the Damron Guides aided a generation of queer people to identity sites
of community, pleasure, and politics. By associating geographical coordinates with
each location mentioned within the Damron Guides, MGG provides an interface for visualizing
the growth of queer spaces between 1965 and 1980."
