Form as Meaning: traditional Coast Salish design elements tell stories through art

The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria’s latest exhibition features First Nations prints curated by Indigenous artists.

The exhibit, Form as Meaning, features the bold designs from decades of Coast Salish and Northwest coast Indigenous art and explores the use of traditional shapes to tell a story.

Red, black and green forms fill the gallery, and co-curator LessLIE said that being in a leadership role on this project was an inspiring experience.
