SUMMARY:Public Art in Public Space Public Talk with Tasha Faye Evans - "Presence of Ancestors: Transforming Community through Art"
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday 20 May 2025 at 7:00pm ArtsConnect presents In the Presence of Ancestors: Transforming Community through Art at the City Centre Branch of the Coquitlam Public Library. In this free public talk\, Tasha Faye Evans will share her journey bringing Truth and Reconciliation to the Tri-Cities with her project\, In the Presence of Ancestors. From being just an idea to the installation of the first of five house posts raised along Port Moody’s Shoreline Trail\, Tasha will share her insights about the transformational power of Coast Salish art and culture. \nTasha Faye Evans is an artist and educator inspiring change through Coast Salish art and culture. Her body of work is an intersection of artistic practice\, culture\, and education woven into dance and theatre performances\, city-wide cultural reclamation projects\, and innovative curriculum. Her current projects include Cedar Woman\, a dance honouring a legacy of Coast Salish women spanning all the way back to a tree\, and In the Presence of Ancestors\, a life-long exhibition of five Coast Salish House posts being carved and raised in Port Moody. With decades of creation and production\, Tasha has participated in performances and festivals nationally and internationally. Find more information about Tasha’s work here: https://tashafayeevans.com/ \nThis talk is presented as part of ArtsConnect’s Public Walks\, Public Spaces\, Public Arts\, Public Cities program. The program includes a series series of related discussions on the role and nature of public art in the Tri-Cities lead by a diverse collection of people in all forms of art\, architecture\, urban planning focussing on questions from just what is it that makes a space public to what place does public art have in public conversations about the complex nature of a community’s public life? On 3 May 2025 ArtsConnect presented a series of Jane’s Walks in Coquitlam (led by Markus Fahrner)\, in Port Moody (led by Bita Jamalpour) and in Port Coquitlam (led by Ed Hall). \nArtsConnect gratefully acknowledges the support of the PoCo Foundation and the City of Port Coquitlam Community Cultural Development (CCD) Investment Program and the Village of Anmore.
