Local Indigenous artist Judii Merle’s artwork was unveiled in the lobby of Kingston’s South East Health Unit on July 2.
Merle, who lives just outside of Napanee, was among six Indigenous artists selected by SEHU Kingston to have their work added at health institutions throughout the city.
“The goal is to recognize and celebrate Indigenous worldviews of health and well-being while fostering meaningful relationships with local Indigenous artists, Knowledge Keepers and Elders. These collaborations ensure that the artworks are not only visually powerful but grounded in teachings that honour Indigenous ways of knowing, being and healing,” reads a release by the health unit.
