Interweavings at the RAG

interweavings-tamara-skubovius-RAG2014-200The Richmond Art Gallery in partnership with YVR Art Foundation is pleased to present Interweavings, an exhibition featuring the artwork of seven emerging BC First Nations artists and their mentors. This exhibition highlights the significance of mentoring relationships in First Nations culture, while foregrounding a grow­ing and strengthening generation of emerging First Nations art­ists whose works are continuing and challenging traditions. In ad­dition to the knowledge and skills the younger artists gain from their mentors and communities, they are also influenced by other modes of education, decolonization and globalization. Organized by Richmond Art Gallery curator Nan Capogna and guest curator Connie Watts, the exhibition includes photography, weaving, painting, jewellery and carving. A publication will accompany the exhibition.

Check out the Interweavings exhibition at the Richmond Art Gallery before it closes January 11th!
Features the artwork of Emily Carr alumni Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun, James Harry, Xwalacktun (Rick Harry), and Tamara Skubovius.
