Come out to MOA for a special opportunity to hear first-hand from First Nations speakers featured To Be Seen To Be Heard: First Nations in Public Spaces, 1900-1965.Join the exhibition co-curators and First Nations community members for an in-depth dialogue, responding to the powerful archival photos featured in MOA’s current feature exhibition, To Be Seen, To Be Heard: First Nations in Public Spaces, 1900–1965. The contributors challenge and re-shape our collective understanding of the public, yet little-known, history of Indigenous people in this period. The roundtable conversation will be followed by an opportunity to see the exhibition with the co-curators and speakers, before it closes on March 31, 2025.
To Be Seen, To Be Heard explores how, during the potlatch prohibition and other forms of erasure, First Nations people represented themselves as Indigenous in urban public spaces. Rich archival material reveals the diverse ways that they worked to have their rights to their lands, their laws, their future recognized.
