What ReMatriate Does
Art Shows and Displays
The ReMatriate Collective has shown their art in different places.
In 2018, they were part of an art show called Beginning with the Seventies: Collective Acts. This show was at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery in Vancouver, British Columbia. An artist named Dana Claxton used pictures of the collective's members. She put these pictures onto an old photo that showed a protest from 1978. This helped connect their art to important moments in history.
In 2019, the ReMatriate Collective helped organize an art show themselves. It was called qaʔ yəxʷ – water honours us: Womxn and Waterways. This show was at the Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art. The art focused on how women and water are connected in the traditional societies of the Northwest Coast. It also looked at the important roles of women who bring children into the world, heal people, and support families.
Special Events
The ReMatriate Collective also takes part in different events.
In 2015, they were at the Adäka Cultural Festival in Whitehorse, Yukon. This festival celebrates Indigenous arts and culture.
