Events Description
Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art (BRG) presents the West Coast premiere of Vital Signs, on display from May 14 – September 7, 2025. Co-curated by Aliya Boubard, BRG Curator, and Amelia Rea, Assistant Curator, Vital Signs explores the critical impacts on Indigenous people, communities, and traditional territories of recurring natural disasters caused by climate change – including flooding, fires, drought, and, in many areas, a decline of species for hunting and fishing. This timely exhibition features six Indigenous artists who, through various mediums—traditional and digital media, paintings, carvings, photography, and regalia—explore the personal impact and lasting effects of climate change on their traditional territories, which they have been actively fighting to protect for generations. The exhibition title, ‘Vital Signs,’ refers to the measurements of the body’s most basic functions, but is also a reference to how the land is essential to our being and is a living entity itself.
