From Lisa Fontaine’s Winyan (Dakota word for “woman”) at The Winnipeg Art Gallery until June 8. ‘Fontaine’s work centers and celebrates the beauty of Indigenous femininities as a resistance to heteropatriarchal and colonial practices.’ Stunning works.

As a therapist I worry about the way that current conceptualizations of mental health uphold the status quo by pathologizing individuals instead of viewing suffering as an inevitable consequence of our systems. Liberation psychology gestures towards the paradigm shift we need.
