“Parallax(e): Perspectives on the Canada–US Border” brings together photographs, maps, and watercolors produced by British and American surveyors, engineers, and artists associated with the Northwest Boundary Survey (1857–62) with recent artworks and new commissions by five Indigenous artists from both sides of the border.
The exhibition’s framework, co-created with five Indigenous curatorial collaborators, centers the notion that “the border crossed us,” emphasizing how the boundary line disrupted longstanding Indigenous networks of kinship, ecological stewardship, cultural practice, and trade.
“Parallax(e)” is on view at thereachgallery in Abbotsford, British Columbia, through May 30.
