Not-Your-Average Tour: I Use My Haida Eyes
Advertisement
Join us for a unique and intimate tour of MOA’s new feature exhibition I Use My Haida Eyes: The History Robes of Jut-ke-Nay–Hazel Wilson.
In this special tour, Robert Kardosh, owner of the Robert Kardosh Gallery and one of the principal contributors to the book Glory and Exile: Haida History Robes of Jut-ke-Nay Hazel Wilson, will discuss Jut-Ke-Nay–Hazel Wilson’s fascinating work.
Between 2005 and 2006, Jut-Ke-Nay–Hazel Wilson created a powerful, untitled series of 51 “history robes,” which recount specific episodes of Haida history in stunning detail—from a Haida perspective. I Use My Haida Eyes marks the first time that nearly the entire body of work, most of which have never been displayed publicly, is shown together.
These 45-minute Not Your Average Tours invite visitors to engage with I Use My Haida Eyes through the perspectives of artists, family members, and community voices, offering layered insights into the works, their meanings, and the knowledge they continue to carry forward.
Capacity of 25 people per tour; first come, first served.
