Stories that animate us, featuring a diverse group of thirteen artists, from historical masters such as Francsico de Goya to contemporary voices. Storytelling lies at the heart of the exhibition, highlighting works on paper and animations that draw from collectively shared oral histories, knowledge systems, and cosmologies, as well as personal memories, imaginings, and dreams. Stories span from fairy tales and explorations of the creative process to science fiction, the traumas of war, and Indigenous narratives of cultural resilience. Stories that animate us invites the public to reflect on the importance of storytelling in their lives: What stories inspire you, what stories need to be told, and which will you pass on?
Stories that animate us is organized and circulated by the Vancouver Art Gallery under the Across the Province program and is curated by Diana Freundl, Senior Curator, and Zoë Chan, former Assistant Curator. Works by Ed Archie NoiseCat and Ed Pien drawn from the Kamloops Art Gallery collection are included as part of the Kamloops iteration of this exhibition.
