A Hummingbird in Flight – from the Quechuan to the Haida via Japan
Sunday, May 25, 2:00 pm
Artist Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas presents his newest book, Flight of the Hummingbird. Michael will share how an indigenous parable from South America reflects social activism in North America and has become part of a wave of environmental activism in Japan. Michael will talk about the experience of creating art as an essential aspect of being a good citizen. One lucky audience member will win a reproduction of an illustration from the book. Sponsored by Greystone Books, a division of Douglas & McIntyre Publishing Group.
As with many of the recent works, this painting is designed to be viewed from contrary viewpoints. Rotating the picture will reveal different images.
