Visit the White Rock Museum & Archives until May 24 for their current exhibit, Upstream/Downriver: Walking the stɑl̓əw̓ Watershed, a collaborative research-creation project that addresses climate change at the local scale of the lower Fraser River watershed. Commonly referred to as the Fraser River, stɑl̓əw̓ is the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ word for “big river.” The artists and Project Siyá:m Patricia Victor walked and listened to experts about the stɑl̓əw̓ and how climate change is affecting the region. Their voices joined with other experts in the areas of geology, biology, math, poetry, urban geography and philosophy to create a soundscape for the exhibition experience. The sounds of the river are carefully blended with their words.
