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.

Developed in 2001, the goals of "Where are the Children? Healing the Legacy of the Residential Schools" exhibit are to: acknowledge the experiences of, and the impacts and consequences of Canada’s Residential School System on Aboriginal peoples; to create a public and historical record of this period in Canadian history that could be easily accessed by Canadians; and to promote public awareness, understanding and education of the history and legacy of residential schools.

The exhibition consists of 118 framed archival photographs, text panels, maps, original classroom textbooks and historical government papers selected from nine public and church archives, and depicts the history and legacy of Canada’s Residential School System. "Where are the Children?" spans over 125 years and contains photographs and documents from the 1880s to present day.
