This panel discussion is presented in relation to our current special exhibition Beau Dick: Revolutionary Spirit, a critically important retrospective exhibition honouring the legacy of one of the most respected and prolific Kwakwaka’wakw first nations artists of a generation. Future Forward will bring together a group of artists who have been inspired by the art, activism and legacy of Beau Dick. In this discussion we will create space for stories to be shared, ideas to be considered and visions of the future to be imagined.
