Join CZarina Lobo, a Natural Dyer focused on cultivating plants for colour, in a Bundle Dye and Hapazome Workshop this May! Learn the techniques of bundle dyes and Hapazome (flower/leaf pounding) by transferring your natural surroundings onto a unique bandana and a reusable drawstring bag. This will be achieved by steaming and also requires hammering locally foraged fresh plant materials onto fabric to show vibrant colours and botanical patterns.

That Which Sustains Us
Opening June 3, 2021!
This long term exhibition at MOV will explore the convergence of different knowledge traditions in the Vancouver area through an examination of people’s interactions with forests and their natural environment. Community representatives from the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh nations, environmental historians, and forestry researchers, have attended consultation sessions to help shape thematic concepts for this project. Instead of a narrative progression the exhibition will frame arboreal life through a set of lenses, including: Land and Water, Food, Movement, Economy, and Home.

“c̓əsnaʔəm, the city before the city aims at ‘righting history’ by creating a space for Musqueam to share their knowledge, culture and history and to highlight the community’s role in shaping the City of Vancouver.” - Musqueam cultural advisor Larry Grant

Inclusive and Welcoming City Hall
The Third Floor Lobby at Vancouver City Hall is where the public gathers before City Council meetings, and serves as the anteroom to Council Chambers, city councillors’ offices, and the mayor’s office. In 2020, MOV worked with City staff to create a space more representative of the diverse communities who call Vancouver home.
