Ba’oya Hubuk’esi (I Love Them By The Edge) Exhibition
January 22 – May 2, 2026
236 E Pender, Vancouver
Ba’oya Hubuk’esi (I Love Them By the Edge) is an exhibition that explores the plurality of queer Indigenous intimacy and erotics alongside connections to family, community, and territory. The exhibition features four interrelated filmworks and a series of photographs that document multiple activations of place through co-authored performances with the artist’s collaborative partners. The performative activations will expand across media—through film, photography, language and sound—to address the ways in which relations to territory and community shape Indigiqueer identity.
