Where the Power Is: Indigenous Perspectives on Northwest Coast Art is a groundbreaking exhibition that brings together contemporary Indigenous knowledge holders with extraordinary works of historical Northwest Coast art that transcend the traditional boundaries of art and artifact. The exhibition showcases a diverse range of objects, including sculptures, masks, carvings, and textiles, that embody distinct ways of knowing and being in the world.
To facilitate the engagement between Indigenous artists and community members and the objects on display, the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia hosted a series of workshops and events. Dozens of Indigenous artists and community members visited the museum to interact with these remarkable pieces and learn from the hands of their ancestors.
The photographs and their accompanying commentaries provide a powerful insight into the connections between tangible and intangible cultural belongings. They explore how art remains an integral part of Northwest Coast peoples' ongoing relationships to their territories and governance, as well as Indigenous experiences of reconnection, reclamation, and return. The exhibition also raises critical and necessary conversations around the role of museums in preserving and promoting Indigenous knowledge and culture.
Overall, Where the Power Is: Indigenous Perspectives on Northwest Coast Art is a transformative experience that showcases the rich cultural heritage and wisdom of the Northwest Coast peoples. It provides a platform for dialogue and understanding, and serves as a testament to the enduring power of art to connect and inspire.
