SNAP is pleased to present a memory of you: of holding, of carrying, together, featuring new work by Maria-Margaretta Cabana Boucher. The exhibition runs from June 14 – July 19, 2025 at SNAP Gallery. 

Opening Reception: Saturday, June 14, 7-9 pm

Artist Talk: June 14, 6-7pm


Artist Statement

A memory of you: of holding, of carrying together reflects on repetitive everyday acts of labours of love within worldbuilding. Familial documentation, textile practice,  and beadwork become visual maps of exchanges with Maria-Margaretta Cabana Boucher, her daughter,  their homelands, and shared heritage. Through these offerings of intimacy Cabana Boucher reflects on childhood joy, softness, and rituals of nurturing through witnessing and learning with and from her child. Structures that hold, carry and shelter act as catalyst of re remembering; building and rebuilding gentle places and spaces for dreaming with her daughter. 


About the Artist

Maria-Margaretta Cabana Boucher is an interdisciplinary Red River Michif Artist from Treaty Six Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She has ancestral ties to the Métis communities of St-François-Xavier, St. Boniface, Manitoba and St. Louis, Saskatchewan. She is currently making and living on the stolen territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, Səl̓ílwətaʔ, and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm Nations. Maria-Margaretta holds a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art+Design and an MFA from OCAD University. Her practice is an exploration of the Michif self archive, autobiographical beadwork and objects of the everyday. Using Métis identity as a place of transformation she questions how memory, personal experience, motherhood, and ancestral relations influence her understanding of self.
