Victoria, BC.- The Legacy Art Gallery at the University of Victoria is proud to present “Convergence/Divergence: Landscape and Identity on the West Coast” on view from August 17th through October 1st. This exhibit explores how artists on the West Coast of BC, both settler and First Nations, respond to the West Coast landscape as a means of expressing identity, while also suggesting ways in which an artist’s identity provides a lens for presenting or interpreting landscape. The works selected highlight contrasting artistic approaches and ways of relating to local landscapes, illustrating both First Nations’ and settlers’ complex relationships to the places they live.
