Intersecting Art, Activism, and Academics
UBC’s campuses are situated within the traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and in the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of the nsyilxcən speaking Sylix Okanagan Nation and their peoples. In recognition of past and ongoing acts of colonial violence and land theft, our work takes place in the spirit of repair. That includes an ongoing attempt to repair the damage done to our collective knowledge by the systemic exclusion of Black, Indigenous and non-European experts and knowledge holders.
