Luke Parnell exhibition to open at Bill Reid Gallery
C
anada's only public art gallery devoted to contemporary Indigenous art of the Northwest Coast is set to host an exciting new exhibition beginning February. Bill Reid Gallery will present the Western Canadian premiere of Indigenous History in Colour, a multidisciplinary solo exhibition by contemporary artist Luke Parnell. The exhibition, scheduled to open on Feb. 3 and run until May 9, 2021, will serve as "a powerful exploration of the relationship
between Northwest Coast Indigenous oral histories, conceptual art, and traditional formline design," according to a release from the gallery. First shown at MKG127 Gallery in Toronto in July 2020, this exhibition marks Parnell's first with the downtown Vancouver gallery. It features two new large works and eight paintings, displayed alongside a short film and an accompanying totem pole from the renowned artist. Among these pieces are Bear Mother (2019) a vivid digital print that began as a digital sketch for Instagram
and "explores an ancient Indigenous narrative through the lens of pop culture, colour theory, and a striking collage effect," and ReContextualizing the DeConsecrated (2014), a series of seven paintings on loan from the Art Gallery of Ontario. Each painting in the series is inspired by a past exhibition. The short film Remediation (2018), meanwhile, "delves into the long-lasting implications of the removal of ancient totem poles from Haida Gwaii, as a critical response to a Bill Reid documentary produced in the 1950s," according to the gallery. The
film depicts Parnell's crosscountry journey, during which he carried half of one of his own totems back to the coast, where it was ceremonially burned. The ashes and the remaining half of the totem will also be on display as part of the exhibition. Arguably the most striking artwork included in the exhibition is also the largest. The gallery described Neon Reconciliation Explosion (2020), as "a collaborative installation that both embraces and questions reconciliation." The piece functions as a Northwest Coast housefront, featuring with a large butterfly design in Nisga’a style divided into 44 individual panels. Those panels were painted by 55 community members using bright, neon colours, and represent each member's personal understanding of reconciliation.

In contrast to the brightlypainted squares, Parnell’s own panel features a bare, hollow doorway, emblazoned with carvings of the initials CB and TF—the artist's way of memorializing the lost lives of Colten Boushie and Tina Fontaine

To that end, the breathtaking works included in the exhibition provide an "analysis of the shifting perspectives of Northwest Coast art in modern history challenges contemporary discourse on notions of reconciliation and representation today," according to the release. Said Parnell, “Research and exploration have become the basis of my artistic practice. In order to understand histories and concepts, in order to explore emotion and contemporary events, I create artworks. My artwork asks questions but never answers them.” Though Parnell was raised in Northern B.C.—his mother is a member of the Wilp Laxgiik Nisga’a, from from Gingolx, B.C. while his father is Haida, from Masset, B.C.—the contemporary artist now works as an assistant professor at the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD) University in Toronto. He previously apprenticed with a Master Northwest Coast Indigenous carver, in addition to earning a bachelor of fine arts at OCAD U and a master of applied arts from Emily Carr University of Art and Design. Bill Reid Gallery joins the list of prestigious locations that have exhibited Parnell's
work, including the National Gallery of Canada. “Indigenous History in Colour invites audiences to engage with the vibrant and dynamic qualities of Indigenous art, while also looking beyond the surface of popularized perspectives,” said Beth Carter, curator of the Bill Reid Gallery, in the release. “Inspired by oral traditions, history, pop culture, and Bill Reid, Parnell’s playful juxtapositions and bold
commentary shine a spotlight on the work still needed to bring about authentic reconciliation for Indigenous peoples," she added. Bill Reid Gallery will celebrate the exhibition's opening with a virtual celebration, featuring Parnell and Carter in conversation. The online event will take place via Facebook Live on Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2021 at 6 p.m. PST. By Megan Lalonde

hile many Canadians are still apprehensive about getting immunized against coronavirus, a recent poll suggests that the majority are willing to roll up their sleeves.
In December, Vancouver Is Awesome shared a poll from the not-for-profit Angus Reid Institute that asked Canadians how willing they would be to take a vaccine once it is available. At that time, 48 per cent of respondents said they would take the vaccine as soon as it is available to them. Angus Reid polled Canadians again this month and found that a firm majority--60 per cent of respondents--are now willing to be immunized. But while more people are willing to take the vaccine, 23 per cent of respondents indicated they would prefer to wait, while 12 per cent reported they would not get vaccinated and five per cent remained unsure. The number of those who outright say they will not be vaccinated is below one-in-ten, for example, in British Columbia (8%) and Ontario (8%) but is one-in-five in Alberta (20%) and Saskatchewan (19%). In those two
+
latter provinces, just half of residents say they would like to be vaccinated right away. Dr. Julie Bettinger, an associate professor in UBC’s faculty of medicine, is a vaccine safety scientist at the Vaccine Evaluation Center at BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute and a member of the National Advisory Committee on Immunization. For Bettinger, the "newness" of the vaccine causes reluctance for some people. "Many are concerned about whether or not the vaccine will work, about short- and long-term safety of the vaccine, about its “newness” and the unknowns that come with a new vaccine," she explains in a news release. Bettinger adds that most of these concerns can be addressed. Further, the two vaccines Canada is currently using--the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines-- work incredibly well. "The clinical trial results were striking in terms of efficacy. We expect to see some decrease in terms of how well these vaccines will work when used in real-life settings, but given how well they performed in clinical trial settings they will still be very effective," she says. Currently, British Columbia isn't seeing an issue with vaccine hesitancy since there is such a limited supply of vaccines. However,

Bettinger notes that improving vaccine literacy--especially among children--is key to combating the issue down the road. "It’s important to educate yourself and your friends and family about the immune system and how vaccines work. Recognize and counter vaccine misinformation and disinformation, in-person and online," she advises. "There is no debate in the scientific community about vaccines. They work and are safe." Bettinger says that health officials don't know if any of the vaccines will lead to herd immunity. "We know they prevent symptomatic disease, but we don’t know if they stop transmission of COVID-19. If they can stop transmission, then it would require high vaccine coverage to reach herd immunity." For the most part, Berttinger says people can expect a sore arm after receiving the vaccine. And while some may feel like they are sick for two or three days--like they have a cold or the flu--they will generally feel fine after that time. "These are normal side effects to the vaccine and demonstrate the immune system is responding." Some people do have allergic reactions following vaccination. However, Bettinger

says this is expected and reactions "are not occurring at a rate higher than what we would expect with a new vaccine." In terms of long-term side effects, Bettinger says "we don’t have the data and will need to continue to monitor to ensure the safety of COVID-19 vaccines." With this in mind, she adds, "We also don’t know the long-term effects of being infected with COVID-19. But what is emerging shows there are long-term effects from COVID-19 infection, such as “brain fog,” which severely alter an individual’s health. "Based on what we know about how COVID-19 vaccines work, we would not expect them to have long-term adverse effects." By Elana Shepert

City of Vancouver installs four 'rainfriendly pop-up plazas'
O
utside might be one of the safest places to spend time during the COVID-19 pandemic, but even the best Gore-Tex jacket isn't enough to make a picnic seem appealing on a rainy Vancouver
winter day. That's why the City of Vancouver is making use of its existing infrastructure to meet the increased demand for sheltered outdoor public spaces—a demand that comes as a direct result of that wet winter weather Vancouver is so well known for. The city recently installed four "rain-friendly pop-up plazas" that will remain dry on even the soggiest days, thanks to the overhead protection offered by a pair of local bridges.

The trial plazas, featuring picnic tables and signage, can be found at the following locations: • Cambie Bridge South #1 (outside the False Creek Neighbourhood Energy Utility at 1890 Spyglass Place) • Cambie Bridge South #2 (between W 2nd Ave and W 1st Ave on the multi-use path) • Cambie Bridge North (north of Cooper’s Park) • Burrard Bridge North (south of the Seawall) Two of the four rain-friendly plazas will also house ping pong tables. According to the City of Vancouver's website, municipal staff will "collaborate with nearby community organizations and local stakeholders" to maintain the plazas, ensuring they "remain well-cared-for, inclusive, and comfortable." The new weather-protected plazas are the latest in a string of "pop-up" outdoor spaces recently created by the City of Vancouver. The initiative was sparked last year by the need for more common-use outdoor areas amidst the coronavirus pandemic and limits on indoor social gatherings. The plazas are created and installed in partnership with Vancouver's Business Improvement Associations, local businesses, and communities, in an effort to give residents more public space to enjoy, while maintaining a safe distance from each other.

we dehumanize people and treat them as disposable. We see people struggling, but are deaf to their cries for help. We lack the ability to see outside ourselves and to empathize. Instead, we judge. I experienced this first hand. My own drug use made it easy for others to treat me like a criminal, as lower than an animal. It made it easy to see me as a lost cause, my status the deserved result of a series of bad choices. I, like others who use drugs, felt the looks from society, and recognized the judgment and disgust. I tried to act like I didn’t care, but I internalized that shame. I withdrew, I became more isolated, and I wouldn’t reach out to ask for help. It’s this shame and isolation that drives people to use drugs alone. And this is how many people who overdose die – alone. As much as the toxic, poisoned drug supply, it’s stigma that is fuelling the overdose crisis. Racism, poverty, homelessness, and criminalization contribute to stigma and discrimination. They create the social conditions that make it easy to dismiss a person. We have a right to be angry and upset about overdoses and what we see in those monthly reports, but we’re wrongly directing our anger toward the people who use drugs and are dying instead of those who have the power to make change. We need to close the empathy gap and stop blaming the individual for the policy failures that created the conditions for struggles with substance use in the first place. This is where the choice actually lies: to have compassion for people who are struggling or to continue to dehumanize those around us who may be suffering silently alone.

ast month, just before Christmas, the BC Coroners Service did what they’ve done every month now for nearly five years – they released their report on the number of drug overdose deaths in the province. For families, friends, and communities that lost a loved one, behind those numbers is a life representing an unspeakable loss. For others who have been personally unaffected by substance use and the overdose crisis, they have become just that: numbers. A numbing monthly reminder of policy failure and inaction before moving on with their lives. This has become a sign of the empathy gap that is contributing to the social conditions that help fuel the overdose crisis – stigma, discrimination, isolation, and despair. How we think and talk about substance use and people who use drugs has a profound effect. Many people, influenced by media stories and accompanying images of discarded needles in a puddle that accompany those monthly fatality reports, associate substance use with poverty and homelessness. They see drug use as the result of a series of poor individual choices, a sign of the “rock bottom” we hear so much about before people can get better. It’s a deserved, if not tragic, outcome. But substance use is not the choice we believe it is. No one chooses to become addicted or to overdose. Substance use and addiction are often the result of untreated trauma or pain, and struggles with substance use are a sign of an effort to treat something that society has failed to help heal. This was certainly the case for me. Untreated trauma and undiagnosed ADHD led me at a young age to use drugs and sent me into a cycle of poverty, homelessness, violence, and criminalization. By viewing struggles with substance use as the result of an individual choice, though,

Don’t panic: even in a shortened NHL season, it’s a marathon, not a sprint
T
he cover of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy for the eponymous book by Douglas Adams features the phrase “Don’t Panic” written in “large, friendly letters.” It’ss a very useful phrase for pretty much any occasion. Att least, I’ve never encountered a situation improved by paanicking. The phrase is particularly useful, however, for thee start of the NHL season, when hockey fans tend to paanic at the drop of a hat. Heeading into the season, Canucks fans were brimming wiith hope and optimism, confident that the team’s off ff-season additions of Nate Schmidt, Travis Hamonic, Brraden Holtby, and, most of all, rookie Nils Höglander weere going to be more than enough to offset the departure of some key players from last season. The first game of the seaason gave reason to keep believing, as they put up five go oals against the Edmonton Oilers, including the first carreer NHL goal for Höglander Bu ut then came the second and third games of the season an nd the cracks began to show. Suddenly, it became eviident that the Canucks’ vaunted power play was 0-for-11; thaat their best player, Elias Pettersson, had yet to score a goal; that the defence looked decidedly shaky and their go oaltending quite ordinary. Do on’t panic. Th he shortened 56-game season with all games played wiithin the all-Canadian North Division does indeed meean that every game matters a little bit more, but there’s no o need to overreact to a couple of bad games. Though Caanucks head coach Travis Green described the 2020-21 seaason as “a sprint right to the end” during training camp, it’ss still much more of a marathon. Co onsider the 2010-11 Canucks, arguably the best team in fraanchise history. They started the season by losing three of their first four games. So did the 2011-12 Canucks, who weent on to win the team’s second Presidents’ Trophy in as maany years. Laast season, the team’s first trip back to the playoffs in five yeaars, started with two losses to the Oilers and Calgary Flaames where the power play went 0-for-10. By the end of thee season, the Canucks had the second-most power play go oals in the league. Co onversely, the 2016-17 season was one of the worst in Caanucks history, with the team setting a new franchise reccord for fewest goals, but they started the season with fou ur-straight wins. The dreadful 1998-99 Canucks, who fin nished dead last in the Western Conference, kicked off thee season with 4 wins in their first 6 games. In other words, placing too much stock in the first few gaames of a season is a fool’s errand. This brief stretch of games to start the season doesn’t decide how the seaason will end no more than the first couple of miles of a maarathon decides who wins the race.

It’s also important to note that the Canucks were missing J.T. Miller, the team’s leading scorer last season and a critical emotional catalyst. Without Miller, the Canucks had no one to play on the left wing on the first line, causing a domino effect down the lineup. Quarantined as a close contact for Jordie Benn, who tested positive for COVID-19, Miller received the all-clear to fly on a private jet to Calgary to join the team. Heck, by the time this sees print, Miller will likely have returned for Monday’s game against the Flames. Perhaps they’ll have won and the panic will have already subsided. Or perhaps they’ll have lost and the panic will be at a fever pitch. Either way, relax. Don’t panic. Even if the season is short, there’s still a long way to go.
