Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art, Vancouver

The Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art proudly announces its upcoming exhibition, Vital Signs.

We are currently living through a very critical time of recurring natural disasters caused by climate change. Indigenous people and communities are some of the most impacted by these disasters. Our traditional territories are being affected by flooding, fires, drought, and in many areas, a decline of the species that we rely on for hunting and fishing. Indigenous people have been at the forefront of environmental activism for generations and continue to actively fight for our traditional lands.

Vital Signs is a group exhibition featuring artists who discuss the impact of climate change through personal experiences and effects on their traditional territories in a variety of mediums. The title refers to the measurements of the body’s most basic functions but also refers to how the land is essential to our being and is a living entity itself.

Featured artists:
Jade Baxter (Nlaka’pamux)
Jasper Berehulke (Syilx/Okanagan)
Kali Spitzer (Kaska Dena)
Kwiis Hamilton (Hupačasath/Leq’a:mel)
Rebecca Baker-Grenier (Kwakiuł, Dzawada’enuwx, and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh)
Sage Nowak (Tahltan)

Co-curated by Aliya Boubard and Amelia Rea.

The opening reception will take place on Tuesday, May 13, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Artists will be in attendance.
