UBC Okanagan Gallery and the Indigenous Art Intensive will host an exhibition for Invisible Forces with works by Krystle Silverfox and Tiffany Shaw.

Yukon based, Selkirk First Nation artist Krystle Silverfox was recently shortlisted for the Sobey Art Award (2022) with an exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada, in Ottawa. Artworks from Silverfox’s National Gallery exhibition will be shown for the first time in Western Canada in Invisible Forces. Tiffany Shaw is a Métis architect, artist and curator based in Alberta, whose work has been shown at the Venice Architecture Biennale, and multiple public art commissions including Edmonton’s Indigenous Art Park, will reinterpret an ongoing series of work that was recently shown at the Surrey Art Gallery and the Southern Alberta Art Gallery.

Invisible Forces and You are on Syilx Territory are both curated by Dr. Stacey Koosel, UBC Okanagan Gallery curator and Indigenous Art Intensive co-ordinator.

The exhibition is part of the Indigenous Art Intensive, a month-long event that hosts leading Indigenous artists and scholars, with a free and open to the public program of talks, art making workshops, open studio day and events. UBC Okanagan’s Indigenous Art Intensive is a leader in showcasing Interior Salish specific artists, ideas and practices.

This exhibition was made possible with support by the BC Arts Council
