- This is the first public exhibition of the drawings and poems by Nuu-chah-nuulth artist Ron Hamilton. Made for his own pleasure over the past thirty years, Ki-ke-in’s (Ron Hamilton) drawings and poems show an extraordinary imagination at work.

During a return trip in 2001, Willard, with the support and advice of Ghanaian people both there and in Vancouver, developed a collection of printed cloths that the Ghanaians consider to be highly significant. Her exhibit, opening during Black History Month, shows how these cloths are worn in Ghana to proclaim political loyalties and commemorate important events.

Wheel: Overlays - An Installation by Edgar Heap of Birds
|
- March 20 ? April 29, 2007 (Great Hall)
- A new installation by Hock E Aye Edgar Heap of Birds, a leading Native-American artist who has completed numerous site-specific installations and public art projects and across North America and internationally. Wheel: Overlays has been conceived specifically for MOA?s Great Hall. Inspired by Native American architecture and medicine wheels, its ten semi-transparent pillars carry the outlines of forked ?tree forms? and are arranged to create a 9-meter circular space. The four surfaces of each tree are layered with words, symbolic motifs, and other markings. Together, the forms and texts chronicle the clash of Native and non-Native peoples in Colorado, with particular focus on the cosmology, history, and renewal of the Cheyenne. ?I?m there to uncover or reveal the history between the Native and the Anglo populations,? says Heap of Birds, who is of Cheyenne/Arapaho descent. ?These events changed the Native world in a very rapid and negative way forever.? Mourning, defying, exposing, honouring, renewing: the work offers a possibility of creating change through exchange, stimulating dialogue through the weapon, and regenerative tool, of art. Edgar Heap of Birds is a Professor at the University of Oklahoma. He has been exhibiting since 1979 in the U.S, Canada, South Africa, Australia, and Europe. Wheel: Overlays is presented by the UBC Museum of Anthropology, and curated by Karen Duffek, Curator, Contemporary Visual Arts.

Who Shall Remain Nameless? Makers and Collectors in MOA’s Nuu-chah-nulth Basketry Collection
|
- April 6 - September 26, 1993 (Back of Gallery 5)
- In this exhibition, anthropology graduate student and curator, Charlene Garvey, explores identity and anonymity - whose names are recorded in relation to an object and whose names are lost. The exhibit examines why it is that MOA knows the identity of almost every collector who has donated Nuu-chah-nulth basketry to the museum, and yet the basket makers themselves remain largely unrecorded.
