Outdoor Art Tour: Homecoming 2022

Join us for a tour of selected works in the Outdoor Art Collection at UBC campus. Taking place during the 2022 UBC Homecoming weekend, the tours will centre on questions of home, territory and relationships to the land that UBC’s Vancouver campus occupies, which is the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people. Tours can accommodate up to 25 people and spots will be reserved in advance on a first-come, first-served basis. To register, email us at belkin.tours@ubc.ca and let us know which time spot you’d like and the number of participants.

Decolonization Tour

Saturday, 24 September 2022 from 2-3:30 pm

75 minutes, 1.5-2 kilometres
The Decolonization Tour highlights site-specific artworks by Indigenous artists and raises questions around issues of place, space and identity. Considering how these works address urgent social and political concerns, we’ll discuss ideas of settler colonialism, decolonization, reconciliation and the history of UBC’s Vancouver campus. The tour includes:
  • Ellen Neel (Kwakwaka’wakw), Victory Through Honour (1948/2004)
  • Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds (Cheyanne, Arapaho), Native Hosts (1991/2007)
  • 7idansuu (Edenshaw) James Hart (Haida), Reconciliation Pole: Honouring a Time Before, During and After Canada’s Indian Residential Schools (2015-17)

Before joining us on the Decolonization Tour, we encourage you to read the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action.

For all tours, wear comfortable shoes and bring an umbrella in case of rain!
