Enjoy free museum admission (starting at 6 pm) for the opening night of I Use My Haida Eyes: The History Robes of Jut-ke-Nay–Hazel Wilson, an exhibition that presents a genre-defying body of work by the late Haida artist Jut-ke-Nay–Hazel Wilson (1941–2016). From 2005 to 2006, Wilson created 51 “history robes,” documenting her lived experiences and the histories passed down to her, each scene or event located in a distinctly Haida landscape. Pushing into the realm of history painting, genre painting, and folk art, Wilson’s history robes exemplify the highly innovative ways in which Haida and Indigenous artists continuously expand on inherited forms to speak to a changing world.
Celebrate the opening of our new feature exhibition with free museum admission, opening remarks, Haida songs, and light refreshments.
Free museum admission | 6 pm onwards
Program | 7 – 8 pm
No RSVP required.
Light refreshments will be served (6 pm onwards).
