Cafe Langham – Inspired Ideas – returns to the Langham Theatre with an enlightening and educational conversation with Tl’azt’en artist Damian John!
Damian John will present a discussion about his current exhibit Indian Agency which uses the medium of the comic book, to explore the traumatic and difficult story of Indigenous peoples and the Indian Act. Hear about Damian’s personal journey and why he chose art to tell this story of grief and pain, hope and resiliency.
John says of the exhibit, “What if I reworked the images in comic book cover art to address some of the complicated, unusual, and deeply disturbing aspects of the Indian act and the treatment of indigenous people in Canada? If I mimicked the cover art closely, would it hold some power in explaining both the ethereal nature and the very real impact of the story that is our history? How different would life be if we did things another way?”
Admission by donation, max 50 people, all attendees must show proof of vaccine passport at the door.
