Join us on June 19 for the Saskatchewan premiere of Powwow People, a vérité-style documentary grounded in rhythm, relationships, and lived experience. Directed with humour and intimacy by Sky Hopinka (Ho-Chunk/Pechanga), Powwow People places audiences inside the vibrant orbit of the iconic Native gathering while rethinking how it can be seen and experienced on screen. Subverting the extractive lens of ethnography, the film embraces a model of collaboration with its participants. Hopinka will be in attendance to speak about the film following the screening.
Screening schedule:
6:30 PM - Small reception with food and refreshments
7 PM - Screening opens with words from Remai Modern’s Indigenous Relations Advisor, Lyndon Linklater, and a special drum performance from John Dreaver
8:30 PM - Post-film conversation with director Sky Hopinka

Silaup Putunga—meaning “the hole in the universe”—is a large-scale, double-sided video installation rooted in uaajeerneq, a form of mask dancing, that unsettles singular perception, holding multiple realms—ordinary and extraordinary—at once. Created in collaboration between Laakkuluk Williamson and Jamie Griffiths, the work explores the intersection of the spiritual and physical, and the impact that has on our choices.
Silaup Putunga is on view in the exhibition Sikuvoq, sikuerpoq / When the ice holds, when it breaks, in the Connect Gallery until July 5.
From monumental public artworks to small-scale sculpture, Douglas Bentham has spent decades transforming metal, salvaged materials, and found objects into works that are cathartic and emotive. Featured in Remai Modern’s exhibition Material.After.Life., Bentham’s sculptures reveal how discarded materials can be reimagined into forms rich with memory, resonance, and possibility.
Bentham’s Tablets and Reliquaries series are on view in Material.After.Life. in the Feature Gallery until September 6.
