Belkin Art Gallery
Organized by Agnes Etherington Art Centre at Queen’s University, Soundings: An Exhibition is a travelling exhibition featuring newly commissioned scores, performances, videos, sculptures and sound. Through these new works, Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists address the question: How can a score be a call and tool for decolonization? Unfolding in a sequence of five parts, the scores take the form of beadwork, videos, objects, graphic notation, historical belongings and written instructions. During the exhibition, these scores are activated at specific moments by musicians, dancers, performers and members of the public, gradually filling the gallery and surrounding public spaces with sound and action. For this iteration on Musqueam territory, the Belkin has collaborated with UBC’s Musqueam Language and Culture Department, School of Music, First Nations House of Learning and Museum of Anthropology to support the production of new artworks and performances by local artists.
