This undergraduate student exhibition follows the life story, art and legacy of the Kwakwa̱ka̱ʼwakw artist Ḵaḵaso’las-Ellen Neel (née Newman).

She was part of a lineage of artists and leaders, which she passed on to her children and grandchildren.

This exhibition was curated by UBC students of ANTH 431: Museum Practice and Curatorship, who are grateful to be working with the Neel family to honour the life of Ḵaḵaso’las-Ellen Neel.

In attendance is special guest, Ellen Neel’s granddaughter, Ika’wega—Lou-ann Neel who will be speaking during the program.
