this fall, she intends to hire a curator of Indigenous art in the next fiscal year. "Sarah Milroy has been responsible for this whole cultural shift at the McMichael," says Perera. "If she would have been doing that work when I was in school, maybe I wouldn't have angsty feelings about the Group of Seven."

"It's relevant and timely and it's something that needs to be talked about now, but it's just a series that's really gone way too long," she says. Still, she plans to keep making work on the subject of the climate crisis, and how it relates to the lives of immigrants.
More and more, every year there is a flood; there is a drought; there's a shortage. And people are starting to move around the planet for different and more urgent and sometimes more violently displacing reasons.

These are the people who can survive it as a result of surviving adversity for millennia.
