The concept of “Our Six” was developed to explore the regional aspects of living within Treaty 6 territory. The exhibit features the designs and processes of 12 designers residing within the boundaries of Treaty 6.

The exhibit explores if there is a way to encapsulate the complexities of living in treaty territory through the methodologies of design? Perhaps just attempting to challenge this question through visual communications will provide ample opportunity for greater understanding and new discourse.

The title “Our Six” was developed to explore the regional aspects of living within Treaty 6 territory. “We are all Treaty People” is a refrain for those inside Canadian Treaty boundaries – but what does this statement really mean?

A current focus of our region, and that of our country, is Reconciliation. A lot has been talked about in the public forum – and a lot has been done to further this discourse. Interestingly, there is not a lot of development done in regards to the visual communications of this issue.

It’s at this stage that designers can contribute to a wider platform of discussion using the mediums of logotypes and iconography.

Is there a way to encapsulate the complexities of living in treaty territory through the methodologies of design? Can those complexities be simplified into a graphical delivery? Or is the simple depiction and delivery of a well crafted logo an essential start to the conversation – the aesthetic becomes statement unto itself and provides an avenue for discourse? Perhaps just attempting to challenge this question through visual communications will provide ample opportunity for greater understanding.
