WHAT'S NEW AND WHAT'S ON
UBC MUSEUM OF ANTHROPOLOGY
EXHIBITIONS
Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas - Travelling the Museum
July 10 - December 31, 2007
Opening celebration, Tuesday, July 10, 7:00 pm (everyone welcome)
Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas takes us on a journey inspired by MOA's current
Renewal Project. Known for his Haida manga, Michael has created three
installations for the Museum's permanent galleries, transforming materials
ranging from an entire Pontiac Firefly, to Plymouth and Dynasty car hoods,
to archaeology storage trays. In the process, he brings his own brand of
humour, narrative, and social commentary to jumpstart new debates in the
Museum's changing spaces. The July 10 opening is planned for outdoors - be
sure to join us for the fun at 7:00 pm.
The Village is Tilting: Dancing AIDS in Malawi
Through September 3, 2007, Gallery 10
The Village is Tilting: Dancing AIDS in Malawi incorporates a series of
powerful masks, life-size photographs, video interviews in Chichewa (with
English subtitles), and dance footage to document the depth of awareness and
cultural response to the AIDS pandemic by rural Malawians.
"A Partnership of Peoples" Exhibit
The Museum has recently embarked upon a major Renewal Project known as "A
Partnership of Peoples" (for details, see <blocked::file:///C:/Documents
and Settings/jwebb/Local Settings/Temporary Internet
Files/OLK790/www.moa.ubc.ca/renewal> www.moa.ubc.ca/renewal). In this
exhibit, MOA displays its plans for expansion and renovation, a scale model,
and samples of architectural details, finishings, and furnishings. We also
open a window onto our Digitization Studio, in which real, live
photographers are using state-of-the-art digital cameras and high-speed
computers to capture high resolution images of the collections throughout
the day.
PUBLIC PROGRAMS
The Big Draw FYI - WE'RE HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THIS PROGRAM IS SOLD OUT!
For three days in May, the UBC Belkin Gallery, Vancouver Art Gallery, and
MOA will present the first-ever Big Draw in Canada. Modeled on similar,
highly successful annual campaigns in the U.K., Australia, and the U.S., the
BIG DRAW comprises a series of programs for children, students, adults, and
families designed to encourage "knowing through drawing." (For info on the
original Big Draw, please see www.campaignfordrawing.org.)
Here at MOA, we have created a special program for teachers and their
students in grades 3, 4, and 5. "A is for Artifact" is an hour-long activity
offered on Friday, May 11 at 11:00 am, 12:30 pm, or 2:00 pm, facilitated by
UBC students in the Secondary Education Art Majors program. In the course of
the program, each class will draw all the pages of an alphabet book with
each letter drawn from things students find, see, or imagine in or around
the Museum. A follow-up bookbinding workshop will be held at MOA at 4 pm on
Tuesday, May 22, in which teachers will learn how to bind their students'
drawings into a finished book. Cost: $30.00 per class (includes all
materials & bookbinding workshop).
National Aboriginal Day Celebration
Thursday, June 21, 2007, 4:00 pm (free with regular admission)
In honor of National Aboriginal Day, the Dancers of Damelahamid will present
Gilo Hyte, "Sharing the Spirit." These masked dances, stories, and songs
belong to Simoiget Hagbegwatku from the royal Dakhumhast House of the
Gitksan Nation. "Gilo Hyte" revives seven songs based on historical audio
recordings of the Adaawk belonging to Simoiget Hagbegwatku, made in the
1950s by his mother Irene Harris and uncle Arthur McDames. The knowledge
contained on these recordings predates the potlatch ban of 1885, and
preserves these stories and songs in their pre-contact form. MOA and the
Dakhumhast House welcome you to witness the first public presentation of
these songs in more than a century, and to share in a truly historic
cultural event. Refreshments provided.
Opening Reception: Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas - Travelling the Museum
Tuesday, July 10, 2007, 7:00 pm (everyone welcome)
Celebrate the launch of Travelling the Museum - Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas'
installation of original artworks - with picnic-style food and an outdoor
concert.
