\u201cThey Coloured Me\u201d <\/strong>
\nA collaborative art project and interactive experience focused on social privilege<\/p>\n

As part of UBC Okanagan Equity and Inclusion Office\u2019s annual Rule Out Racism campaign, three groups have joined together to present \u201cThey Coloured Me\u201d art exhibit and interactive experience.<\/p>\n

The Privilege Project<\/strong>
\nProject Team: Jada Larkin
\nThe Privilege Project consists of the four plaster-human canvases. The canvases are holding a box that contains a personal response to a question about privilege. Visitors are welcome to write their reflections on the bodies with chalk. In addition, at the opening on March 7th from 4:00-6:00 pm those who attend will be welcomed to participate in a privilege test, designed to show the effect of privilege and social mobility.<\/p>\n

Finding New Paths:<\/strong>
\nExploring Decolonization, Indigenous Feminism, and Reconciliation Through Art
\nProject Team: Harron Hall, Amberley John, Drayson Netzel-Wood, Kelly Panchyshyn
\nThe Indigenous Studies Association has invited artists to submit artwork based around the themes of privilege, Indigeneity, women and healing. The pieces include weavings, paintings, baskets, photography and other art forms. The group affirms the Syilx territory and wishes to engage the community as a part of the methodology of reclaiming space. The aim is to create a medium through which the community may engage openly with concepts of decolonization, Indigenous feminism, and reconciliation. The hope is that through providing an accessible platform for dialogue among audiences of all backgrounds, these discussions will facilitate cross-cultural healing, decolonization of thought, and a strengthening of the Indigenous way.<\/p>\n
