Diaries After a Flood

Suspended and spinning in the Price Family Community Gallery and the Lindy Green Forum are newly commissioned works by Vancouver-based artist Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, who created and popularized the graphic style of Haida manga. The style incorporates a mixture of North Pacific Indigenous narratives, frame lines, and Japanese cartooning. Posing timely and necessary questions about culture, identity, and histories past and present, the works in this exhibition avoid simple categorization and instead, to quote Yahgulanaas, take as their subject “the spaces in between.”
