“Food will be what brings the people together”
– Secwepemc Elder William Jones ‘Wolverine’ Ignace
What does a just transition to building a regenerative practice look like in the arts? In this exhibit, guest curator Dawn Morrison of Wild Salmon Caravan draws upon a creative arts practice embedding Indigenous perspectives of regeneration, sustenance, and life spirit.
A regenerative practice moves away from linear, production-oriented thinking and shifts towards holistic perspectives. It is a life-giving paradigm to regenerate society, reflect on our daily lives and give ourselves time to work and heal in different ways.
“The life cycle of wild salmon provides a powerful metaphor for a regeneration of life spirit. The relationship between wild salmon and Indigenous people are interlinked as keystone species for biodiversity and cultural heritage. With loss of cultural diversity, we lose biodiversity. A regenerative paradigm underlines our Indigenous worldviews. Human creativity is critically important to address environmental and social crises in the world we live in today.”
– Dawn Morrison, guest curator
Inspired by these ideas of a regenerative practice, this exhibition explores a selection of community-engaged arts to push the boundaries between art, culture, food, and life spirit.

Feasting for Change exhibit is part of an annual exhibition titled “State of the Practice” that highlights Vancouver Park Board’s longstanding commitment to artists working in community to engage citizens in creative practices.
