About
Breanna Sprecker is an emerging Indigenous artist and is graduating from the University of Victoria Visual Arts program. She is inspired by other contemporary Blackfoot artists. Her work explores various visual metaphors and symbols of animals, word play, and recontextualizing elements of Blackfoot culture to deliver poignant decolonial messages that are healing, transformative, and confrontational.

Organizer
Xchanges Gallery and Studios
Welcome to Xchanges Gallery and Studios, Canada’s oldest artist-run-centre (est. 1967). Located and serving on unceded territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən, Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. The spirit that gave birth to Xchanges began over 55 years ago. A small group of artists envisioned a way to meet the challenges of being an artist. Xchanges persists because it continues to provides support for many of these challenges. This vision rests on solid bones in a structure that has carried it forward through changes over the years to today. As a non-profit charity Xchanges is committed to being of service to the greater community through its artistic and gallery goals and developing its people and supporting creativity. The mandate of Xchanges is to provide affordable studios, present challenging and engaging contemporary art in diverse media whether in our physical spaces or online and virtually, and to support a positive and creative culture in Victoria, BC.
