Art NOW series featuring Laurel Scott (BFA-Art '21)
Stop buying things: an artist’s take on land ethics and productivity
September 19 | Noon | University Recital Hall
Free admission, everyone welcome
In this talk, guest artist Laurel Scott will discuss her ongoing research into handmade art materials, how relationships with the land impact her art practice, and the benefits of living through a culture of gratitude and humility over consumerism. This talk will be in reference to Scott's current exhibitions, "where it is pictured" in the main gallery at Casa, and "plant teachings" at the Helen Schuler Nature Center, both in Lethbridge, AB.
Laurel Scott (she/her) was born and raised in Mohkinstsis (Calgary, AB) on the traditional lands of the Niitsítapi, Tsuut’ina, and Iyarhe Nakoda. She completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts with great distinction majoring in Art Studio at the University of Lethbridge in 2021. She then completed the Documentary Filmmaking Program at Capilano University within the unceded territories of the Xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔt (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. Her multidisciplinary art practice revolves around creating work in relation with the land and what it provides. Currently, Scott is based in Sikohkotoki (Lethbridge, AB) working on a Bachelors of Education Degree.
