Recent Honorary Doctorate recipient, Stan Douglas (82), exhibits his outstanding multi-media installation Stan Douglas: Klatsassin at the Vancouver Art Gallery.

This challenging exhibition brings together two major video and film-based installations, Klatsassin and Pursuit, Fear, Catastrophe: Ruskin, B.C., presenting the divergent histories of inhabitation and settlement in Canada's westernmost province. These provocative film and video-based installations call attention to how forces of capitalism and colonialism have marked the land and its narrative.
