THE WORK OF CONTEMPORARY

Indigenous artists Sonny Assu (Ligwitda'xwnjik), Lori Blondeau

(Cree/Salteaux/Metis), and Hjalmer Wenstob (Nuu-chah-nulth) comes
together in a group show this fall. Humour as Medicine explores humour's
role in activism, healing, and communication.
The work in Humour as Medicine sparks dialogue about colonialism's impact
on individuals and communities, and ultimately speaks to the role humour
can have in coping with trauma, whether that be personal or collective.
Humour as Medicine, curated by Jenelle M. Pasiechnik, runs at the Campbell
River Art Gallery October 7 to November 27, 2021.
