Popular Art is the name given to the artistic creations made by peasants, indigenous people or craftsmen with no formal artistic training. A traditional popular art item is handmade and has a functional purpose opposing an art object that is made for aesthetic purposes only, however, in the XXI Century technique has evolved to a more aesthetic representation.
Presented by MexicoFest, we invite all art enthusiasts to attend this free exhibition at the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre on Mexican Popular Art objects.

Aboriginal (Un)History Month 2017
The ‘Whose 150?’ display case.
The fifth annual Aboriginal (Un)History Month exhibit is now on display at UBC Library’s Irving K. Barber Learning Centre. Across the nation June is recognized as Aboriginal History Month, but the tradition of (Un)History Month is a celebration and acknowledgement of the importance of Indigenous Peoples – not only in history – but in the present and future. This year the exhibit asks and responds to the question “Whose 150?” with eight cases from local organizations and First Nations.
WHOSE 150?
“This year, many Canadians are celebrating the 150th anniversary of Canada. For them, the development of Canada from a colony to an independent nation is the story of the emergence of a democratic nation exceptional in both its history and promise. That is, however, a history that looks very different to many Indigenous people in Canada, who view the growth of the nation of Canada and its people as a story of dispossession, repression, and hardship. Throughout this history, Indigenous people have seen all but 0.2% of the lands upon which they have lived for millennia pass from their control, and they have seen their traditional economies, governance, and ways of life destroyed or suppressed and their basic human rights restricted or denied. For much of that history, Indigenous people in Canada could not vote, form political organizations, hire lawyers, or, in some cases, leave their tiny reserves without permission. For over a hundred years, until 1996, they saw their children removed, often forcibly, from their communities and placed in residential schools designed to break their spirits and connection to their families, communities, and traditional culture, while offering them little for their future survival. Many survived horrible forms of abuse, and many died there schools, with mortality rates at times in some schools exceeding sixty percent. Today, many communities still struggle to contend with the aftermath of these systems and with their ongoing manifestations, and health and other outcomes for Indigenous people continue to be significantly worse than those for most Canadians, and yet, because until very recently, Indigenous people and history have been so invisible in Canadian education, few Canadians know or have a way to understand.
Many Indigenous communities are, however, working as they always have to survive, rebuild their resiliency, and maintain and restore the strength of their cultures, and through opportunities such as university education, long denied Indigenous people, many are finding new forms of strength. Canada is, of course, in many other ways, a great country. By truthfully and directly addressing the history and current circumstances of Indigenous people—and acting upon what we come to understand—we can work together to make Canada a country and a society we can all more fully join in celebrating.”
Introduction by Linc Kesler, Director, First Nations House of Learning
UBC is located on the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people.
The exhibit is open from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. on the second floor of the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre until August 30.
Featured Cases include:
- Híɫzaqv Language and Culture Mobilization Partnership
- The Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre
- Indigitization
- Musqueam
- The Native Youth Program at the Museum of Anthropology
A satellite book display at the Woodward Library celebrates Aboriginal (Un)History Month
Híɫzaqv Language and Culture Mobilization Partnership
A partnership between the Heiltsuk Cultural Education Centre, the Bella Bell Community School and UBC’s First Nations and Endangered Languages Program, HLCMP creates opportunities for speaking, writing, and reading the Híɫzaqv (Heiltsuk) language. This display highlights the importance of language revitalization as a means of resilience against the legacy of colonialism.
The HLCMP case, located on the 2nd floor of Irving K. Barber.
The Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre
The IRSHDC case addresses the nation’s history of Indian Residenital Schools which imposed the forced removal of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis chidlren from their homes and families, and sought to strip them of their language and culture. The History and Dialogue Centre -set to open its doors this summer- will hold copies of the Truth and Reconciliation Commision of Canada’s records.
Maps and historical photos of Indian Residential Schools are some of the items on display.
Indigitization
The Indigitization display looks at the legacy of Indigenous cultural material embedded within cassette tapes. The program offers grants to communities and organizations to support them in their digitization efforts.
This case contains tweets, photos, and news stories relating to the Indigitization program.
Musqueam
Musqueam: our history
This case highlights Musqueam’s history and legacy through place names and sχʷəy̓em̓ (e.g. transformer stories), showing traditional and ancestral village sites and place names in conjunction with the current geography of Vancouver.
Musqueam: our teachings
This exhibit case looks at ways in which Musqueam is actively educating and trying to change public perceptions around Aboriginal history in general – specifically highlighting a project for the UBC community, and a project for K-12 educators and children.
Musqueam: c̓əsnaʔəm
c̓əsnaʔəm, located within Musqueam’s traditional and unceded territory in what is now the Marpole neighbourhood, is an important, ancient Musqueam village and burial site. This case shows replicas of ancient belongings and the process by which these replicas and were created as part of the c̓əsnaʔəm exhibit.
The Native Youth Program at the Museum of Anthropology
NYP is a summer program for urban aboriginal youth that provides training and employment for high school students. Watch and listen to two digitally animated stories interpreted and narrated by NYP members.

Digitization of BC Sessional Papers, 1952-1969
UBC Library – Humanities and Social Sciences Division & Digital Initiatives
5,688
This project proposes to continue digitizing the next selection of the British Columbia Sessional papers consisting of 40 volumes (1953-1969). So far, with the generous support of the BCHDP grant, we have digitized 76 years (1876-1952) of the Sessional Papers and we hope to complete the entire run of the papers which end in 1982. In addition to the papers, there are also accompanying fold out maps and charts.
Digitization of the Victoria Daily Colonist newspaper: 1961-1970
University of Victoria Libraries
15,000
With 120 reels of microfilm at an estimated 1000 images per reel, we expect to produce up to 120,000 page images. As in previous years, the reels will be sent to the Internet Archive (IA) digitization facility in San Francisco. Once the reels have been scanned they will be loaded into the IA servers (archive.org) and harvested and indexed in our local search engine (http://britishcolonist.ca).
The Province Newspaper Negative Collection, 1950-1962, Digitization Project – Phase III
Vancouver Public Library
13,174.02
We plan to add the remaining 2,600 images of the Province Newspaper Negative Collection to our historical photographs database. The collection depicts important events in Vancouver and the province in the 1950s. Digitizing helps the Library promote their use, while enabling us to conserve them by placing them in frozen storage that slows their deterioration.
The anticipated output is that we will increase the awareness and knowledge of our collection of images depicting mid 20th century British Columbia. The scanned images and descriptive metadata will be added to our online historical database enabling users to search for and find relevant photographs without having to come into the library to do so. In addition, the descriptive metadata provides multiple access points for searching. This is a significant improvement to the card index that we have in the department. Our past experience with digitizing photographs is that improving the ease of searching and making them available online significantly increases use and awareness of the images.
The Gay Games | Celebration 90 Digitization Project (Stage 1)
VIVO Media Arts Centre
6,706
For Stage 1 of this project just under 1/3 of the video recordings will be digitized (there are 150 videotapes in total). They will include Opening and Closing Ceremonies at BC Place, Celebration 90 Cultural Assembly events, pep rallies at the Commodore Ballroom, the Film Festival Gala, Gay & Lesbian bands at the Orpheum Theatre plaza, the August 6th Pride Parade, “Words Without Boundaries” writer’s panel (co-organized by Jane Rule and Jana Williams) and interviews with Games’ organizers, participants, and AIDS Vancouver representatives. These tapes were chosen for the first stage of digitization as they provide a context for understanding how the Games came about, their significance to the Vancouver LGBTQ community, their organizational structure, and some of the social issues and controversies that impacted them. Textual materials will complement and contextualize themes explored in the video materials.
Women in Performance Art Digitization Project
Western Front Society
5,000
The Women in Performance Art Digitization Project will increase the discoverability and use of Western Front’s rich and unique collection of Performance Art documentation. By digitizing performances by renowned artists such as Lori Blondeau, Elizabeth Chitty, Dana Claxton, Kate Craig, Rose English, Mona Hatoum, Rebecca Belmore, Judy Radul, Anna Banana and Jane Ellison and making them available through the Western Front website we will be reaching new audiences, communities and researchers and inviting them to connect with the Western Front Media Archive in a new way. The project will result in digital files for 45 videotapes that will be stored on LTO tape with their accompanying metadata, a process and plan guided by digital preservation best practices.

My Personal Journey to the Language of My Mother and My Community
Larry Grant, Musqueam Elder, was born and raised in Musqueam traditional territory by a traditional hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking Musqueam family. After 4 decades as a tradesman, Larry enrolled in the First Nations Languages Program, which awoke his memory of the embedded value that the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ language has to self-identity, kinship, culture, territory, and history prior to European contact. He is presently assisting in revitalizing hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ in the Musqueam Language and Culture Department, and co-teaching the introductory hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ course through UBC.
Larry is the Elder-in-Residence at UBC’s First Nations House of Learning. He is a Faculty Fellow at St. John’s College, and the inaugural Honorary Life Fellow for Green College. In 2010, he received the Alumni Award of Distinction from Vancouver Community College, and in 2014, he became an Honorary Graduate from the Native Indian Teacher Education Program (NITEP) at UBC.
