Presence: The Exhibition on display at the Bradley museum in September/December 2021 showcased Mississauga artists,  Amrita Chopra and Whyshinave Suthagar. Visitors could immerse them in the "future" of art in Mississauga and share their stories at our Letters from Tomorrow display.

We would like to acknowledge the land on which we gather, and which Presence Mississauga operates, is part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. For thousands of years, Indigenous peoples inhabited and cared for this land. In particular we acknowledge the territory of the Anishinabek, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Ojibway/Chippewa peoples; the land that is home to the Metis; and most recently, the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation who are direct descendants of the Mississaugas of the Credit.

We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land, and by doing so, give our respect to its first inhabitants.
