• Student exhibition: Indigenous community radio is a powerful tool. In this exhibition, UBC museum anthropology students worked with Nuxalk Radio in their mission: “Lhulhamktulhs ala ts'ktaliwalh alh ti s kulhulmcilh t'ayc n wa sulutilh ats (Broadcasting the Laws of the Lands and Waters.)” Nuxalk Radio expresses the many voices of the Nuxalk Nation. Through the airwaves and online, radio connects the Nuxalk people to each other and to other Indigenous communities. It inspires Nuxalk language learning and promotes the return to ancestral governance. It fosters community well-being, now and in the future for those not yet born, and asserts Indigenous rights.

No Windows presents artworks by local and national artists Rhonda Weppler + Trevor Mahovsky, Adad Hannah, Jamie Drouin, and Zoe Tissandier.

• Tsimshian weaver William White from Lax Kw’alaams has been publicly weaving a child- size Chilkat robe this summer as part of a “living” exhibition entitled My Ancestors are Still Dancing. In July, the artist set up his loom and pattern board in Gallery 8, alongside a display of his own weavings, some historical weavings from MOA’s collection, and historical and contemporary photographs of people wearing Chilkat regalia. This September, the completed weaving will be lifted from the loom in a small private ceremony.
