Coyote Encroaches on Status Quo
On Friday June 18 @7pm the Alternator will host a reception for artist Chris Bose from the Nlaka’pamux nation, where the Fraser and Thompson Rivers join. The reception celebrates the opening of Bose’s exhibition, Jesus Coyote. Coyote shape-shifts into this exhibition linking Christian and First Nations spirituality, through sound, video and large scale supersaturated images lit with black lights.
Chris Bose is a creator, rebel, disruptor of the established order and most of all a survivor. Through his artwork he wrestles with the traumatic effects of residential school on his parents, aunts and uncles, and how that trauma has rebounded on his generation. Bose is a writer, multi-disciplinary artist, musician and filmmaker, who has read and performed at all points from Victoria to Montreal.
On Saturday June 19, the Alternator hosts a party and DJ competition within this dreamlike and surreal exhibition. The exhibition and reception are free to the public and tickets to the DJ competition are $10 at the door.
The Alternator is located inside the Rotary Centre for the Arts. All are welcome.
