ONGOING EXHIBITIONS

The Village is Tilting: Dancing AIDS in Malawi

February 6 - September 3, 2007

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
<file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/jwebb/Local%20Settings/Temporary%20In
ternet%20Files/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.

Explore our Drawers

In preparation for Renewal, MOA has been re-organizing some of its
collections. In particular, we've moved a number of drawer units, formerly
located deep within Visible Storage, to more prominent locations in the
public galleries. These drawer units contain objects from around the world -
Asia, Africa, Oceania. Bring the kids, and explore the wonders of the world.
