Art & Conversation: echoes
Tuesday, September 5, 10:00 am 

Join us at the Kamloops Art Gallery for an interactive guided tour of the exhibition echoes and engage in conversations with peers and KAG educators.

As an echo reflects and repeats between entities, this exhibition contemplates ways recurrences traverse generational and geographical expanses. An echo is a continuation that needs a physical body on which to resound. Here, the bodies of water and the physical remnants of stone, plastic, and land become the houses for the historical traces of change and continuity. The works in this exhibition explore the physical and embodied ways in which memory appears and continues to resonate within individuals and across generations. Through practices such as ceremony and revisitations of the voyages of one’s ancestors, the artists included in echoes call upon knowledge systems that do not rely on the written word, but rather assert a continuity and interconnectedness between body, land, and water.

Through these works, past and future moments occur. Despite the multiple crises that our waterways and systems of knowledge face, echoes reminds us that there are ancestral and emergent insights offered to us across vast and deep other-than-human relations.

This program is offered in collaboration with the Kamloops Adult Learners’ Society (KALS). You must be a member of KALS to participate.

Registration is available online at kals.ca/registration/
