Landing

Eliot White-Hill, Kwulasultun
Qp’ilum (Landing), 2022

Landing is an online home for Nanaimo Art Gallery’s offsite projects.

The website begins with an artwork: Eliot White-Hill Kwulasultun’s Qp’ilum (Landing), which was commissioned for this project. Eliot describes the work as “a conceptual representation of land and territory, which critiques the conventions of mapping and instead offers how the place called ‘Nanaimo’ exists from my perspective as a Snuneymuxw person.”

We are grateful to Canada Council for the Arts and BC Arts Council for their support of this project.

What is your commitment to arts and culture?

A group of people, some standing and some seated, participate in an indoor event; a few individuals are holding musical shakers. Black and white art is displayed on the wall behind them.

With election day around the corner, local arts organizations including Crimson Coast Dance, Nanaimo Art Gallery, Port Theatre and Vancouver Island Symphony reached out to each of the candidates for the Nanaimo-Ladysmith electoral district to learn where they stand on arts and culture.

As of the time of publication, we have received responses from two candidates. Follow the link for their answers:
