• June 13, 2024 – March 31, 2025 (Audain Gallery)
• CURATORS: Dr. Marcia Crosby (Ts’msyen/Haida) and Karen Duffek (MOA Curator)
• This multimedia exhibition of large-scale archival photographs and film explores how, during the period of potlatch prohibition and other forms of erasure in Canada, First Nations people of British Columbia represented themselves as Indigenous in urban public spaces—at parades, protests, royal visits, tourist markets, civic jubilees and intertribal gatherings.
• Looking back through a rich trove of archival material reveals the diverse ways that First Nations worked to be seen and heard, striving to have their rights recognized—rights to their lands, their laws and their future.
• In this exhibition, large-scale projections of historical photographs and film are accompanied by audio commentaries by Indigenous community members who reflect on the images from their perspectives today. Their words help to illuminate an often-neglected backstory of British Columbia’s modern history, in which First Nations people ensured they were seen and heard at a wide range of public events. First Nations objects, belongings and artworks made and used during the era are displayed facing the archival projections, reconnecting these items—most now part of the collection at MOA—to their place in a modern history from which they are often separated.
• As visitors to the exhibition consider the subjects of these historical images, the First Nations people in these images look back through the camera lens at the viewers—with the intent they envisioned for their futures.

Usar para: The History of Walas Gwaxwiwe: The Great Raven Hamsiwe', Wa

• July 10, 2007 to June 30, 2008, Corridor Case
• This exhibit showcased the magnificent Great Raven Ha̱miswe’ mask that MOA purchased from a Vancouver shop in 1962, and for which William Wasden Jr. was been able to reconstruct a detailed history by working with knowledgeable Kwakwaka’wakw elders from his home community of Alert Bay, B.C.
• Through text, photographs, and video, William told the story of how this mask and the privilege it represents first came to the Scow family, the potlatches at which this privilege was shown, and how Beau Dick carved a new version of this mask in 1993 so that it could continue to be danced. He also explored the question of who carved the original mask.
• Curated by William Wasden Jr., of the U’mista Cultural Centre in Alert Bay, BC. Curatorial liaison Karen Duffek, Curator, Contemporary Visual Arts & Pacific Northwest.
