• Tsimshian weaver William White from Lax Kw’alaams has been publicly weaving a child- size Chilkat robe this summer as part of a “living” exhibition entitled My Ancestors are Still Dancing. In July, the artist set up his loom and pattern board in Gallery 8, alongside a display of his own weavings, some historical weavings from MOA’s collection, and historical and contemporary photographs of people wearing Chilkat regalia. This September, the completed weaving will be lifted from the loom in a small private ceremony.
• MOA created a website to document the weaver’s progress, and to explore the significance of the Chilkat tradition: http://www.moa.ubc.ca/williamwhite/WhiteIntro.html.

No Windows presents artworks by local and national artists Rhonda Weppler + Trevor Mahovsky, Adad Hannah, Jamie Drouin, and Zoe Tissandier.
