We are excited to invite you to two upcoming events with MC Snow, the 2025 Mellon Artist-In-Residence.
An artist panel on Indigenous Art in Schools and Universities will take place on Thursday, March 27, from 4–6 PM in Arts-150.
An artist talk with MC Snow will take place on Thursday, April 3, from 1–2:30 PM in Macdonald-Harrington G-10.
MC Snow lives and works in Kahnawake and Tiotiake. His sculptures and paintings address the social challenges of living in a post-colonial climate of reclamation. It is with a determined vision for hope and search for the truth that MC wants to confront the reality of his own truth and reconciliation with his past. Themes of division, mistrust, adversity, and collusion slam against the force of truth, respect, honor, and loyalty. This continual push and pull of power that seems to sometimes tie us down, sometimes set us free. When not engaged in personal projects, MC is a big advocate for promoting the visual arts in the local school boards and universities.
