Weaving Traditions

Welcome to the first event at the MOV with artists in residence from the Blue Cabin Floating Artist Residency and FLEET Mobile Artist Studios!

Ariane Xay Kuyaas’ (Blue Cabin Floating Artist Residency) and Caitlin Aleck Te-Awk-Tenaw (FLEET Mobile Artist Studios) will discuss their weaving practices—ranging from stories of gathering materials, techniques, and the cultural significance of weaving for both the Haida and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) that inform their work.

The Blue Cabin Floating Artist Residency is a mobile artist residency located on a floating platform at Heritage Harbour by the Vancouver Maritime Museum. The residency gives the artist a unique perspective on the city from the water.

Responding to the loss of arts and culture hubs across metro Vancouver, FLEET Mobile Artist Studios are mobile studios for working artists placed in temporary locations throughout the lower mainland.

Other Sights for Artists’ Projects is a collective of metro Vancouver-based artists that seeks to create a presence for art in spaces and sites that are accessible to a broad public, such as the built environment, communications technologies, the media, and the street. Other Sights, along with grunt gallery and C3, was one of the founding members of the Blue Cabin Cooperative, and additionally launched the FLEET Mobile Artist Studios project in collaboration with community partners.
