Join the Nanaimo Arts Council for an Exhibition Launch and Artist Talk with Mary Anne Molcan, Carly Nabess, and Eliot White-Hill, Kwulasultun, the three artists featured in Rooted: Connections to Land, the inaugural curated online exhibition of the NAC. Snuneymuxw Elder Geraldine Manson will open the exhibition with a few words of welcome. The talk will begin with Nanaimo-based artist, Mary Anne Molcan discussing her Estuary series, a collection of linocut prints that are the result of her experience traveling for several years to the Cluxewe River Estuary. Next, Terrace-based artist Carly Nabess will present on her series of Beaded Landscapes, a body of work that allows Nabess to consider the importance of land to her Métis identity. The talk will conclude with Eliot White-Hill, Kwulasultun, discussing his digital works included in the exhibition that acknowledge the intrinsic relationship of Coast Salish creation stories to land and territory.

Questions for the artists will be solicited in advance on Social Media and in our Newsletter. You may also send your questions to [email protected], with the subject "Questions for the artists."
