The Curatorial department supports initiatives — including research, exhibitions and publishing — that help to build respectful relationships and mutual understanding with cultural communities represented through MOA’s collections.
MOA is committed to promoting awareness and understanding of culturally diverse ways of knowing the world through challenging and innovative programs and partnerships with Indigenous, local and global communities.
MOA supports the principles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including originating communities’ right to “maintain, control, protect and develop their cultural heritage, traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expression.”
The Cultural Interpreters Program brings the voices and perspectives of Indigenous UBC student tour guides from a range of First Nations and cultural backgrounds to the forefront. Visitors learn more about the MOA collection through Indigenous perspectives and gain deeper understanding from Cultural Interpreters who share personal and community connections to the belongings and treasures in the Museum.
In addition to public tours, the Cultural Interpreters host open art studio time and artist demonstrations.
