Continuing Accountability
Kelly Greene
April 21 - May 17, 2022
Artlab Gallery
The Artlab Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition titled “Continuing Accountability” by current Indigenous Artist-In-Residence Kelly Greene. Presented in partnership with the Office of Indigenous Initiatives and the Department of Arts and Humanities, this exhibit brings together work completed by Greene over the course of her nearly thirty year artistic career.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
This exhibit is a continuation of my exhibit “Accountability” that was briefly on display at McIntosh Gallery for a week in March, 2020 before everything shut down. But “Accountability” has another meaning besides referring to the previous exhibit, as this word was and is the premise for both shows, since it encompasses the concepts of the artworks.
Some topics include alternative viewpoints of historic occurrences once viewed as celebratory by most, though now wondering when history books will be changed. And since recent revelations have been made of resulting conditions from enforced ownership, we may question how reparation can be made.
Yet despite it all, somehow Indigenous cultures, traditions, and languages are still alive. Although they’ve struggled to remain alive, the onus to pass knowledge from one generation to the next is imperative so nothing more will be lost.
Moreover, it is the responsibility all humans must now offer to care for our Earth, our Mother, who has endured much devastation especially during the past century after the industrial revolution and the rise of technological advancements. We are now in a position to make drastic changes to ensure that the future may somehow be free from the current conditions we’re experiencing, resulting from us making strides without heed of repercussions.
My hope is we’ll be able to outrun the machine we’ve created.
Kelly Greene is a multi-media artist whose work includes painting, sculpture, installation, and photography. She is of Mohawk-Oneida-Sicilian ancestry, a member of the Six Nations of the Grand River Reserve, and a descendant of the Turtle Clan.
Greene has lived in London, Ontario since 1989 where she obtained a BFA from the University of Western Ontario. She began her visual art studies at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, where she moved with her family when she was a child.
She has exhibited in Canada and the United States for over thirty years in solo and group exhibits, primarily at the Woodland Cultural Centre in Brantford, Ontario but also Banff, Alberta; Vancouver, B.C.; Montreal, Quebec; Ottawa, Thunder Bay, Toronto, and London, Ontario; Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Howes Cave, New York. Her work is in numerous public and private collections, and in 2012 and 2015 she was commissioned to complete two permanent outdoor installations at the Woodland Cultural Centre. She has been awarded grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council and was most recently awarded the first Indigenous Artist in Residence at Western University in 2021.
Her art focuses primarily on environmental and political topics, as well as revealing stereotypes that are still prevalent towards Indigenous cultures, using ironic humour when possible. Recognizing the impact colonization has had on our Earth and the First People who have always lived on the land now known as Canada, Greene specifically refers to the Haldimand Treaty granted to the people of Six Nations, as well as the Mohawk Institute Residential School, or “Mush Hole”, where her beautiful Grandma attended in the 1920’s. Another concern is Colony Collapse Disorder, or the current plight of bees vanishing due to pesticides and monoculture. The ever-alarming condition of our planet has inspired Greene to create works that represent our Mother Earth as human, appealing to our species’ egocentricity, hoping empathy will be instilled and respect given so future generations will continue to be revived and thrive.

Yep, that's my personal mission statement. Maybe should've added "have fun" and "help others"... but I think those are covered under "do what you love" and "be kind to... others", respectively.
Have I mentioned lately how much I love using tape as a resist? Just checkin'.

Statement in Opposition to the Immigrant Protection Act
Despite its name, the Immigrant Protection Act does not provide new protections for our immigrant community. In fact, the IPA, as it is written, protects criminals while putting innocent people in greater danger.
The Act will make it more difficult to make transfers of prisoners at the county jail who are wanted on federal charges by Homeland Security. The jail provides a safe and neutral place to make such transfers. Under this act, transfers would be moved into the community which poses greater risks for innocent members of the community and Law Enforcement.
We want our immigrant community to feel safe and welcome in Westchester County. We applaud District Attorney Scarpino for establishing a task force within his office to ensure that those immigrants coming forward to report crimes will not face repercussions related to their immigration status. Nurturing trust between Law Enforcement and the immigrant community is an essential component to that objective. No one wants to prevent victims of crimes, especially domestic violence, from being reported out of fear of immigration issues. Shielding people who are accused of committing crimes from federal authorities is dangerous and irresponsible. When someone who is in this country illegally commits a crime, their victims are usually fellow immigrants. Why would we want to protect these predators?
Local law enforcement, including county police, do not enforce or address immigration issues. They do not seek to determine immigration status or use it in any way to perform their duties. Just to make that point clear two county executives have issued executive orders to specifically direct county police to not engage in immigration enforcement or inquire about immigration status. County Executive Spano issued his Executive Order No. 4 in 2006, and County Executive Astorino updated the directive further in September of 2017. The subject of these executive orders is exactly what the IPA is purported to address, but does not.
The IPA states that “County Law Enforcement Agencies (CLEA) shall not communicate with Federal Immigration Authorities.” One exception to this directive contained in an earlier version of the IPA was if the individual was a known gang member. This is a reasonable exception since we know of MS-13’s growing presence on Long Island which is close proximity to Westchester. Why not include this provision since there are national databases that could be used to identify such individuals? However, it was removed and when we asked for it to remain in the law, it was denied.
According to federal guidelines, the IPA will clearly cause Westchester County to be classified as a “Sanctuary County”. Another request that was denied was to include representatives of Homeland Security in the committee discussion and deliberation. We requested that federal immigration representatives be present to answer questions and give their assessment of the IPA. Shouldn’t we hear from them to determine how the IPA could affect them in the carrying out of their duties? Perhaps their input could have made a more effective law and one that everyone could support. It was another opportunity lost that could have garnered unanimous support by the BOL.
The IPA is designed specifically to do only two things; protect undocumented criminals sitting in the county jail, and eliminate the distinction between legal and illegal immigration. Anything that inhibits law local enforcement from working closely with their federal law enforcement partners like the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies— is a bad and reckless idea.

I thought it was sweet to see this brother and sister together staring off into the sea, taking in the view, no doubt each in their own way. It reminds me a lot of my brother and me. From the beginning and even up until now, he has always been there for me, cried with me, held my hand when I was scared, offered me really good advice, offered me really bad advice, and yes, even got me in trouble. But I wouldn't trade that bond for anything. I probably don't say it as often as I should, but...
I can't imagine my world without you in it, brother. I love you.
I don't really own statement jewelry (though I do have a few on my to-make list). Most of my pieces are simple and small, but I've always wanted to try the layered necklace look. How did I do? Any suggestions? I'm not quite feeling it but I might try it again. Something about wearing more than one necklace makes me feel a little rock n' roll. Maybe I'm doing it wrong...

Wandering around the city centre on St Patrick’s day, you’ll meet many diverse fun fashion statements to say the least… classy greens, sassy golds and demure nods to patriotism as people roll out in their Sunday best, while others parade full-on costumes ranging from the adventurous to the really out there ! (And that’s not including the official parade!)
This Paddy’s Day, we’re celebrating street fashion on a day of eclectic Irish fashion!
The National Leprechaun Museum and the SCOOP foundation joined up to give everyone (Dubliners and visitors) the chance to show off their Paddy’s Day Finery to the whole world, and set up a picture-book-photo-booth for them to get snapped in!
Entrants got snapped by our photographers on our set and then posted online… winners will be voted on by a worldwide audience! (There’s a range of categories and spot prizes to be won!)
