The University of Regina’s Humanities Research Institute Barbara Powell Distinguished Lecturer for 2015 is Dr. Gerald McMaster, Professor in Indigenous Visual Culture & Curatorial Studies at OCAD University in Toronto. Originally from Red Pheasant First Nations in Saskatchewan, McMaster obtained his MA in Anthropology from Carleton University, and a PhD from the University of Amsterdam’s School for Cultural Analysis. In 1979, at the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College (now the First Nations University of Canada) in Regina, he developed the first Bachelor of Art (Native Art) program. For the past thirty years, he has worked as a visual artist, curator, and scholar to increase the knowledge and appreciation of First Nation, Métis, and Inuit art, nationally and internationally. In his role as senior curator at the Canadian Museum of Civilization, the Smithsonian Institute, the National Museum of the American Indian, and the Art Gallery of Ontario, Dr. McMaster achieved an international reputation as a curator with independent projects at the Venice Biennale, the Sydney Biennale, and numerous pivotal exhibitions mounted throughout North America and Europe.

The best antidote I know for worry is work. The best cure for weariness is the challenge of helping someone who is even more tired. One of the great ironies of life is this: He or she who serves almost always benefits more than he or she who is served.
