October 14, 7pm-8:30pm
Art Talkback Series with Zoe Kompst and Manuel Axel Strain
Richmond Art Gallery
7700 Minoru Gate
Join Musqueam artist Zoe Kompst for an engaging evening that looks at the exhibition through the lens of Indigenous traditions and everyday connections to the land. Learn how natural materials like plants and minerals are used to make dyes and paints, and how these practices carry stories and cultural meaning. After the talk, participants will get to try making their own natural paints using tools passed down through artist Manuel Axel Strain’s family. No art experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to get hands-on.
