Art NOW talk featuring Emily Luce and Klehwetua Rodney Sayers
Art is the New Government
Noon | Nov. 4
University Recital Hall
Free admission, all are welcome to attend

Klehwetua Rodney Sayers and Emily Luce have a longstanding multidisciplinary collaboration that traverses art, design, and the collision of worlds that exist. Sayers, a Hupač̓asatḥ sculptor/artist, and Luce, a US-born designer and printmaker, started by combining typography and oral history to support the Hupač̓asatḥ fluent speaker’s group, moved on to tiny but inhabitable buildings, and now steward qʷicčiƛma (the sky opened up,) a studio with printmaking, carving and sculpture, a native plant and dye garden, a stage and a fire pit.

Klehwetua Rodney Sayers is a visual artist whose studio practice is based on ʔAhswinnis, in what is now known as Port Alberni. Although his practice is rooted in his Hupač̓asatḥ traditions, he is influenced and amused by his observations of the ‘funny edge’ of the world, and these contemplations are reflected in his work.
