A curatorial perspective on MOA's ??sna??m, the City Before the City.

- Abstract
Museum of Anthropology (MOA)'s Fall 2015 exhibit, ??sna??m, the City Before the City, was an interactive artistic installation depicting contemporary and historical Musqueam First Nation life in the village of ??sna??m, situated at the mouth of the Fraser River in Vancouver adjacent to University of British Columbia. The co-curators worked with a Musqueam Advisory Committee of elders to create the kitchen table installation component entitled 'gathered together', consisting of a dining table and chairs inside a small room with an audio voice-over of Musqueam elders reminiscing about growing up to become the 'knowledge keepers' of their community. Curatorial practice and presentation drew museum visitors into an art education experience through memory, colloquial discourse, documentary storytelling, and visual art that particularly appealed as cultural history and socially engaged art in terms of intention, framing, making and wonder.
