À propos

Known for their passionate work rooted in personal experience, artist Manuel Axel Strain embraces and exalts the Coast Salish longhouse to confront the oppressive, racist colonial context surrounding them. Titled xʷən̓iwən ce:p kʷθəθ nəw̓eyəł ((((Remember your teachings)))), their major multi-media exhibition—including paintings, sculptures, family photographs, video, and installation—promises to transform the Gallery with a dynamic mix of new and recent artworks rendered in their boldly unique style. Of Musqueam, Simpcw, and Syilx descent, Strain celebrates the cedar longhouse not only as an enduring architectural form but also an important spiritual, philosophical, and cultural framework profoundly embedded with the collectivist, relational values of their family members and communities—past, present, and future.
