History Biographical: 

Ayumi Goto is a performance artist based in Kelowna, Okanagan Nation territory. Born in Canada, she draws upon her Japanese heritage to trouble sedimented notions of nation-building, cultural belonging, and structural racism in her creative work.

Over a course of 105 days in 2013, Goto ran 1568.5 km around communities in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario to recognize and pay homage to the Journey of Nishiyuu, in which six young Cree men led by guide Isaac Kawapit, walked from Whapmagoostui, Northern Quebec to Ottawa to raise awareness of Aboriginal issues. Goto reinforced the walkers’ laborious efforts to bring attention to the Idle No More movement, as well as attempting to transform her own relationship to the land.

Ayumi's installation at the Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre opened Saturday April 26, 2017 at 7 pm, in this exhibition Goto explored her experience through the daily poetic and visual responses she created.  Ayumi also served as a visiting artist in residence at AlgomaU in April 2014.

Scope Content: 

Series comprises photographs from Ayumi Goto's "in sonorous shadows of Nishiyuu" installation at the Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre which opened Saturday April 26, 2014.

Tranquille Asylum/Sanatorium was built in 1907 to treat tuberculosis in Tranquille, Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. A small community known as Tranquille was built around it. The community included gardens, houses, a farm, fire department, and more facilities. In 1958, the hospital closed and was reopened in 1959 to treat the mentally ill. It closed permanently in 1983.

The Secwepemc are the indigenous Peoples who inhabit the south central interior of British Columbia. The territory of the Secwepemc extends from the Columbia River Valley on the east slope of the Rocky Mountains to the Fraser River on the west and from the upper Fraser River in the north to the Arrow Lakes in the south. Secwepemc territory covers a vast area; approximately 180,000 square km.
