Workshop Description: - Re-connections
Who are you? How do you define who you are? For centuries we, the Haida, have utilized our art-form to do just that. But it is not just “Art”, it is our history, our beliefs, our lineage… it is our embodiment. The systematic process of deculturalization had been devastating. For us, the resurgence of our culture has been spurred on by the rediscovery of our “Art” and its growing recognition. Bill will instill a deeper understanding of “why many of us feel the way we do” due to the loss of our culture. He will also explain the nuances of the Haida Nation’s art and how it defines them.
