*Maker of Monsters*  <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1vbrlZKNdg>is an
inspiring portrait of Beau Dick, a celebrated Kwakwaka’wakw artist and
activist who worked with ancient traditions in a contemporary context. His
powerful carvings resonated in his own remote community on the Northwest
Coast of British Columbia, and drew attention and acclaim across Canada and
internationally. As an activist, Dick called attention to colonial and
environmental injustices, bringing his message to the legislature in
Victoria, and to the steps of parliament in Ottawa, where he enacted a
political protest infused with cultural and spiritual protocol. Filmed in
the years leading up to his death in 2017, filmmakers LaTiesha Ti’si’tla
Fazakas and Natalie Bolla create an intimate profile of this charismatic
hereditary chief and share his profound legacy.

Proceeds from this event will go to support the work of our non-profit
organizations.
