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.
