Conversations

PAST - Thursday, February 11, 2016 at 1 pm

Join leading UBC scholars, artists, curators and critics in a series of midday conversations. We invite two prominent, disciplinarily distinct voices into the Gallery to discuss productive intersections of their own work and the current exhibition, followed by a discussion that includes the audience. In this series, guests will address Lalakenis/All Directions: A Journey of Truth and Unity, an exhibition that remembers Kwakwaka’wakw carver Beau Dick’s 2014 journey from UBC to Ottawa, which culminated in a ceremonial copper-breaking on the steps of Parliament Hill.

Everyone is welcome and admission is free.

Thursday, February 11, 1-2 pm

Johnny Mack (Peter A. Allard School of Law and First Nations and Indigenous Studies Program) and Dory Nason (Department of English and First Nations and Indigenous Studies Program)
