Meeting of the Doodem is an augmented reality experience for Luminato Festival Toronto. It debuted at Woodbine Park in 2022 and returned in 2023 as a second version that travelled to locations across the city. Seven animals gather in a semicircle around the viewer, each named in Anishinaabemowin and each tied to a doodem, the clan system that organizes Anishinaabe kinship and responsibility.

I made the work while my family was reconnecting with our clan. Woodland painting has always shown the spirit world beside the everyday one. Here the phone becomes that lens, and the doodemag stand in a city park.
