The story of Mi’kmaq artist Jordan Bennett’s public-art exhibition in downtown Vancouver is well-known to those who closely follow the visual arts.
A photograph of a 19th-century porcupine quill basket triggered a series of events that led to a colourful lens-based work of art on the wall of the Dal Grauer Substation on Burrard Street.
This image is particularly evocative in light of current conversations about colonialism and the repatriation of First Nations cultural property.
Bennett shares the fascinating story of the creation of
