Modern Legends
, a contemporary First Nations exhibition featuring rising stars,
Sonny Assu
(Kwakwakwa),
Brandon Gabriel
(Kwantlen),
Corey Moraes
(Tsimshian) and
Carrielynn Victor
(Sto:lo).
With its comic book super heroes, graffiti-inspired narratives and mystical beings, this show demonstrates the enduring power of traditional storytelling within a strikingly modern context.
In Canada's 150th year, we're leaving it up to these young indigenous artists to control the narrative in sharing their own Modern Legends.

Hans Potter is thrilled to be back on stage presenting for all you wonderful people. Theater trained and comedy forged Hans has spent the last year away from the stage and in front of the camera perfecting the art of earning a pay cheque by playing pretend. But now he’s ready to leave behind his fabulous Hollywood life style for an evening and get back to roots by once again wielding a mic and staring down the white hot stage lights. He hopes you enjoy his antics as much as he enjoys enticing for you.
