Landmarks

Artist: Melissa Johns (Kanien’keha:ka/Mohawk)

Canada | 2025
No Dialogue | Video Installation

Landmarks explores the interplay between memory and place by digitally reconstructing human-made landmarks and activating them with archival family video. Highlighting some of the memories that have been created within the shadows of these structures, this multi-channel installation honours generational continuance and the deep, unseen connections that exist at the convergence of land and those living on it.

Melissa Johns is a new media artist and educator who uses interdisciplinary methods to collect, preserve, and transform the stories around her.
