Join us for a Decolonization Tour of outdoor artworks by Kayám̓ Richard Campbell, Brent Sparrow Jr., Ellen Neel, Edgar Heap of Birds and James Hart 7idansuu (Edenshaw). The tour highlights site-specific artworks by Indigenous artists and raises questions around issues of place, space and identity. Considering how these works address urgent social and political concerns, we will discuss ideas of settler colonialism, decolonization, reconciliation, protocol and the history of UBC’s Vancouver campus, which is located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people. Tours are free, but we ask you to register at belkin.tours@ubc.ca.
