Visitors could settle into the space and explore its shifting atmosphere, inspired by ancestral wisdom and a deep connection to the natural world.

Weci | Koninut is more than just an installation; it is a powerful tribute to Indigenous cultures, a space for pause, for dreaming, and for reconnection with nature. It sparks dialogue on identity, ancestral values, and our shared responsibility toward our environment.
Weci | Koninut, (/we.ʒi kɔ.ni.nut/) is a name dreamed up by the creators to represent a dreamcatcher. It combines the beginning of the word in Atikamekw (Wecipapicikan) with the ending of the word in Wolastoqey (Puwyakoninut)
Weci | Koninut was created by Dave Jenniss and Julie-Christina Picher, in collaboration with Eruoma Awashish, Étienne Thibeault, Serge Maheu. Produced by Init in collaboration with Houston First Corporation and powered by Creos.
