Bodies of Water: waters their impaired movement, contamination and political rights
Join us for a presentation by Teresa Montoya and Guadalupe Martinez who are looking at the ways colonialism and industrialization have impacted waterways. These artists are part of the Spill project at the Belkin Gallery at UBC.
Teresa Montoya (Diné, b. 1984) is a social scientist and media maker trained in socio-cultural anthropology, critical Indigenous studies and filmmaking. Drawing from Diné oral histories as well as ethnographic and archival practice, Montoya’s research and media production focuses on legacies of environmental contamination and settler colonialism in relation to contemporary issues of tribal jurisdiction and regulatory politics in the Indigenous Southwest.
Guadalupe Martinez has curated a performance component titled Spill: Response, bringing together activists, performance artists and educators whose practices deeply consider relationships between the body, the land and forms of pedagogy that engage with healing, love and sustainability as collaborative methodologies.
The Spill project involves an exhibition, a podcast series, and public talks and performances. More info: https://belkin.ubc.ca/exhibitions/spill-exhibition/
PLEASE JOIN US!

A “Day in the Life”
Participants are asked to describe activities they would like to see take place on the Jericho Lands on a typical day in the future.
Artist Session
Artist-facilitators from the Co-Design Group chat with participants and draw the future they envision for the Jericho Lands. The finished drawings will be displayed and participants will be asked to review the features of the drawings.
Guiding Principles
Ideas and illustrations created at the Artist-Led Workshop help in the creation of guiding principles and redevelopment concepts for the Jericho Lands site. The Artist Workshop is exclusively for all members of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh communities.
Your input and ideas are important!
Workshop is hosted by the joint venture of Canada Lands Company ("CLC") and the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh ("MST") Partnership with the City of Vancouver as part of the development of a Policy Statement for the Jericho Lands.

Housing developMentOctober 7, 2019
In September, we experienced the loss of a fundamental member of the multi-family housing team. Denis Loeppky, who was our project lead for the multi-family housing development as well as the extended care facility, passed away suddenly. Denis had been working with MIB for several years on various capital projects that have benefited our community.
The multi-family housing team is taking the time necessary to re-group and ensure that we continue to advance this work in a good way. We know this project is important to the community and we will provide an update as soon as we have more information to share.
In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to discuss any aspect of the project.
Sincerely, Multi-family Housing Team

The Musqueam people have lived in our present location for thousands of years. Our traditional territory once occupied much of what is now Vancouver and surrounding areas. The name Musqueam relates back to the flowering plant, məθkʷəy̓, which grows in the Fraser River estuary. There is a story that has been passed on from generation to generation that explains how we became known as the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) – People of the məθkʷəy̓ plant. Although a metropolitan city has developed in the heart of Musqueam territory, our community maintains strong cultural and traditional beliefs. Today our population flourishes and we are a strong community of over 1,300 members. To learn more about Musqueam, please visit www.musqueam.bc.ca.
At Musqueam we strive to create a progressive workplace.
