All Our Relations

Project Description:

In an effort to bring more Indigenous work to the City of Hamilton Public Art collection, Cobalt Connects initiated a collaborative bid to the James Street North Waterfront Redevelopment Call for Artists with Cree/Métis designer Angela Demontigny, glass artist Paull Rodrigues and fabricator LaFontaine Iron Werks.

Successfully chosen by the project jury, All Our Relations brings to life the flora, fauna, and elements of the waterfront with over 7500 hand-made glass beads. The work will be installed in 2022 at the Hamilton Waterfront Trust.
