Curated by Victoria Jaenig, Looking at Ullus is an exhibition highlighting the individual artworks representing the different styles, backgrounds and artistry of Ullus Collective Artists. This exhibition features the work of Franchesca Bell, Ann Doyon, and Hayley Reagan.
ULLUS is a collective of professional Indigenous artists living, working or residing within the traditional territories of the Syilx or Secwépemc nations. ULLUS Artists are youth, emergent, mid-career and established indigenous artists practicing and developing their crafts.
ULLUS is a word translated from the nsyilxcən language and translated as “a gathering of people for a common purpose”. ULLUS originated in 1982 under the Okanagan Tribal Council as the Okanagan Indian Curriculum Project and was formally named ULLUS Collective in 1997. Ullus Collective recognizes the unique arts practices of Indigenous artists & artisans living as descendants or guests within the traditional syilx or secwepemc territories & beyond.
Looking at Ullus will be on view in the Members’ Gallery from May 19 to June 10, 2023.
