*Public Program with William White*

Among the many art forms on the Northwest Coast, weaving has been 
marginalized and viewed as "women's work", implying purely decorative 
and without meaning. This session, led by textile artist, William White, 
will explore how perceptions of gender contributed to the exclusion of 
textiles within Northwest Coast art forms.

/Time Warp/ is the first major exhibition to feature the contemporary 
practice of textile and fibre art on the Northwest Coast. Historically, 
textiles were marginalized because they were, and still are, considered 
to be "women's work" and purely decorative. /Time Warp/ challenges this 
gender bias, and explores the growing profile of textiles as a major 
Northwest Coast art form.


The exhibition includes Coast Salish weavings, Raven's Tail and /Naaxiin 
/style (Chilkat) robes, tunics and capes, as well as cedar bark and 
spruce root clothing and accessories.
