Ceremonial/Art is thrilled to announce our collaboration with the University of British Columbia’s Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory’s Curatorial Studies Program.

Guest curated by Michif and white settler curator, Mel Granley, through materially varied photo-based practices, 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 presents varying modes of relations: between peoples, with community and culture, to land and waters, and the relationship to the self. Honouring Indigenous ways of knowing and being in relation, 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 considers how we are interlinked and the way in which our well-being is bound up with that of others.

Presented with support from the Audain Endowment for Curatorial Studies through the Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory in collaboration with the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery at The University of British Columbia.
