Land Acknowledgment

We acknowledge that this research took place in Vancouver and Burnaby, British Columbia, on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. The art was also created from each of our homes on different ancestral territories across the Lower Mainland. And, we recognize that you, the viewer, may be joining from different territories around the world.

We feel very fortunate to learn, work, play, and create in these spaces and acknowledge those who welcomed us into their space and the peoples whose lands continue to host us, nourish us and sustain us.
