INDIAN. RELAY. Remounted at The Peanut Gallery

  By Ryley Smith

 

The beautiful exhibition INDIAN. RELAY. has been remounted at The Peanut Gallery. Presented by Julie Vincent and Jason Lawrence, or collectively, J&J Lawrence Photography, this stunning photographic exhibition gives you an intimate look into the original sport of Indian Relay.

The story of this exhibition follows Steven Wolftail, alongside his family, as he competes in relays across southern Alberta and Walla Walla Washington. With the support of the Canadian Indian Relay Racing Association (CIRRA), J&J was able to join Steven as he traveled internationally and photograph the races over the last two seasons.

This exhibition comes together to beautifully represent not only Steven but the Wolftail family, their relationship to the highly-skilled, dangerous sport of racing, along with the deep-rooted traditions of racing. It also gives a deeper look into the extreme sport in a traditional, Indigenous context, its history and origins, family, and family connections, and terminology – in particular, the term Indian, when, how and why that word applies.
