Gallery Vertigo is proud to present the SD22 High School exhibit "What Feeds Me." The schools participating are Clarence Fulton, Kalamalka, Vernon Secondary and W.L. Seaton. The exhibit runs from January 11 to 29.

"What Feeds Me" has a literal interpretation: what does your body require physically to continue to grow and survive. It can also be thought of figuratively. This figurative, more sophisticated interpretation of "What Feeds Me" is the most straightforward way to state what the students were encouraged to pursue and express for this project. You will see those expressions presented in a variety of mediums.

Gallery Hours:  Tuesday to Saturday, noon to 4pm

Learn & Connect: Deconstructing the Doctrine of Discovery

Learn + Connect is a free online program that has been developed so participants can explore colonial perspectives of history, reflect on how that influences our understanding and actions, and discuss ways we can move forward. This session will look at the Doctrine of Discovery through the lens of a film put out by the Anglican Church* about the devastating ruling by Pope Alexander VI that decreed that any land inhabited by Indigenous Peoples was declared “empty” and the inhabitants “non-human”. “Doctrine of Discovery: Stolen Land, Strong Hearts” will be the foundation of our enquiry into how this centuries old document continues to profoundly – and negatively – impact Indigenous people today.
