THE BIRDS

Director: Alfred Hitchcock    USA, 1963, 120 min; PG

Hitchcock’s other great horror masterpiece, The Birds remains an extraordinarily effective exercise in apocalyptic terror. It’s astonishing just how much tension the director manages to wring out of the tale. It’s also one of many Hitchcock movies that should be seen on the big screen. Socialite Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren) decides to visit lawyer Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor) in his home town of Bodega Bay. Soon they find their lives under threat by a series of random bird attacks. Superbly orchestrated suspense. –Take One

Natural History Night - Victoria Natural History Society

The west coast of Haida Gwaii is a remote place devoid of  both formal and blazed trails. It is a place where Dave Lacelle has taken solitary trips for the past 30 years. Come join Dave as he shares his many discoveries and adventures in this area. He will show photos of the area, and talk about old Haida sites, odd findings, five message bottles. He also has some comments to share on the ecology and geology of the area. 

Everyone is welcome. Bring a friend and a coffee mug.

Understanding Place in Culture: Serigraphs and the Transmission of Cultural Knowledge focuses on how Indigenous perspectives of place shape expressions of important cultural knowledge. All of the serigraphs selected from this collection represent or convey a sense of place in some way, either through a direct representation of a physical location; an image that translates a story about a place; or images that connect (through memory, dreams, etc.) to a specific place.

Museums and other educational institutions are often seen as sites of privileged knowledge production, spaces that have often excluded minority perspectives and realities. These artists challenge the hegemonic practices of institutions, by positioning the artist as the ethnographic authority on their cultural expressions and knowledge.

Admission is Free.

This exhibition showcases serigraphs by Indigenous artists from the coastal areas of British Columbia, and are part of the Smyth and Rickard Collections of Northwest Coast serigraphs. Seven artists from different Indigenous communities are represented in the exhibition: Francis Dick, Maynard Johnny Jr., Edward Joe, Stan Greene, Floyd Joseph, Tim Paul, and Joe David. Selections of audio ‘soundscapes,’ from interviews with Francis Dick and Maynard Johnny Jr., are accessible to visitors via smart phone; the interviews frame the works within the experience of a specific place.
