The New Curators on the exhibition 'akâmi-' at Camden Art Centre, 2025.

'akâmi-' is an exhibition of works by Duane Linklater, Ethel (Trapper) Linklater, Tobias Linklater and Grey Plumes at Camden Art Centre. Curated by the second cohort of the New Curators, the exhibition interrogates power, individual and collective identity, absence and memory within contemporary Indigenous life and institutional practices.

This is the first major UK institutional exhibition of Duane Linklater, an Omaskêko Ininiwak multimedia artist based in North Bay, Ontario, Canada.
