The demise of the storied Hudson’s Bay Company provides a moment to not merely reflect upon what constitutes a deep discount sale, but also how we have collectively arrived at this moment in history. Through twists and turns of empirical economic endeavour, personal circumstance and good old fashioned fate, we find ourselves at yet another critical juncture … for some it holds optimism for restitution and growth, with the return of species and communities to familiar territories, while for others there is the uncertainty wrought by uncontrollable and wildly erratic external forces.
Told through the viewpoint of the eyes, ears and whiskers of some of the species that have called north of 49 home, the works in Ndishnikaaz/Nugwa’a̱m/My name is are an invitation to explore these histories and consider what lies in the road ahead. — Mary Anne Barkhouse
Mary Anne Barkhouse was born in Vancouver, British Columbia but has strong ties to both coasts as her mother is from the Nimpkish band, Kwakiutl First Nation of Alert Bay, BC and her father is of German and British descent from Nova Scotia. She is a descendant of a long line of internationally recognized Northwest Coast artists that includes Ellen Neel, Mungo Martin and Charlie James. She graduated with Honours from the Ontario College of Art in Toronto and has exhibited widely across Canada and the United States.
