"Akì eji pimadjiwomagak", meaning "Land Connection"

Updated: Sep 26, 2023




September 25, 2023 - We are launching our exhibit in partnership with local Indigenous artists from the Brascoupé family.


The exhibit is titled "Akì eji pimadjiwomagak", meaning "Land Connection". This exhibit is a camper featuring a mural on all four sides painted by Algonquin Anishinabe artist, Emily Brascoupé-Hoefler and her family. The camper greets visitors with one single, powerful and inviting word: “Kwey”, the Algonquin word for "Hello". The art highlights culturally significant imagery and stories related to the land, water, animals, nature and Algonquin ingenuity. It is a visual, audio and augmented reality exploration and celebration of Indigenous public art and artists here in Ottawa. It is a completely FREE, 7-stop walking tour (including 3 AR experiences), and will take people on a journey of discovery, connecting with the land and its stories through the lens of local Indigenous artists.


The three AR experiences available in Ottawa are:

  1. Akì eji pimadjiwomagak / Land Connection: Camper exhibit at 118 Sparks Street

  2. National Arts Centre - Heartbeat of Mother Earth, by Algonquin Anishinabe artist Emily Brascoupé (coming soon)

  3. Confederation Park - Spirit Ponies by Métis artist Rhonda Snow


We invite you to download the Engage Art app before arriving.

Been using Nano Banana Pro for AI image generation recently. The Pro version handles more complex prompts and delivers sharper results — still powered by Gemini under the hood. Great for concept art and style experiments without any local setup.

I love how the "Akì eji pimadjiwomagak" exhibit beautifully captures the essence of the Algonquin culture through art. The use of "Kwey" as a welcoming word is a lovely touch. It's fascinating to see how the ebola map live of Indigenous public art continues to expand and connect us with nature and history.
