“Creation” of new possibilities in museum collections—Tamara Cardinal's jingle dress and its potential to disrupt hegemony in museum collections

Abstract This article explores the ways a work by Nêhiyaw (Cree) artist Tamara Cardinal (including performance art and a material item: a jingle dress with natural clay cones) takes an active role in transforming museum collection management. I argue that Cardinal's art, taken in context of Indigenous and museum interaction and some movements in performance art, transforms museum practice through its collection as a work of art.
