Organisateur
Manuel Strain and City of Maple Ridge
Strain is an interdisciplinary artist of Musqueam, Simpcw and Syilx descent. Strain works with painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, textiles and video installations. Strain seeks to use lived experiences to inspire social and political change in Canada and deconstruct colonialism. Strain was raised in the suburban neighbourhood of Maple Ridge with little knowledge of what it meant to be a person of First Nations descent.
The Artist in Residence program provides an opportunity for artists to create arts based community engagement projects and activities in exchange for a live-work studio space at City owned properties on Fern Crescent and in Port Haney and a new studio only space residency at the Greg Moore Youth Centre. The program is supported through the Maple Ridge Public Art Steering Committee in collaboration with The City of Maple Ridge’s Parks, Recreation & Culture Department.
