The Decolonization Tour highlights site-specific artworks by Indigenous artists and raises questions around issues of place, space and identity. Considering how these works address urgent social and political concerns, we will discuss ideas of settler colonialism, decolonization, reconciliation, protocol and the history of UBC’s Vancouver campus, which is located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people.

This event is presented as part of the UBC Arts & Culture District's 8th annual ARTIVISM Festival running through to October 13, 2024. Check out the entire festival at the link below!

This event is presented as part of the UBC Arts & Culture District's 8th annual ARTIVISM Festival. This year the theme of the festival as articulated by student Artistic Director Jesse Medros is "Heart On Fire" which highlights love as a revolutionary force. This year’s festival celebrates existing cultures of care, and invites new realities centered on compassion. Through radically creative spaces and marginalized artistic expressions, we invite you to ignite love towards liberation & set oppressive systems ablaze.

Produced by UBC Arts and Culture District with 2024 festival Artistic Director Jesse Medros, in partnership with the Exposure UBC student club team, this annual festival highlights stories of resilience and both community and student activist art that challenges dominant narratives through live performances, poetry, music and more. There is something for everyone; the events include a wide range of in-person activities.
