RECONCILING
Gallery 7 (Anvil Centre)
February 16 – June 26 2022 - Extended until Fall 2022
Through three installations, Reconciling addresses truths attached to acts of reconciliation. Haida/Nisga’a artist Luke Parnell explores a feeling of disenchantment through his piece Neon Reconciliation Explosion; the downed statue of Judge Begbie addresses the imposition of foreign laws on a land; and the 215 shoes placed at New Westminster’s cenotaph reflects our community’s response to the Residential School legacy in Canada.

CELEBRATING BLACK HISTORY IN CANADA THROUGH TESSELLATION AND PORTRAITURE
Gallery 2 (Anvil Centre)
February 2 – June 19 2022 - Extended to Fall 2022
Moved by a push for greater social justice, NWSS Art students researched prominent figures from Black History in Canada and share their contributions in black and white tessellation patterns and portraits. Equal parts ‘black’ and ‘white’ in these works challenges a Eurocentric-lens that is too often applied when discussing history by featuring People of Colour (POC) and Black Canadians in an equally starring role. Each student provides a thoughtful artist statement with their portrait.
