Wed, November 18, 2015 12:00 AM - Tue, January 5, 2016, 12:00 AM UBC Point Grey Campus. Take a walk in my shoes and see the world that I see.
Drop by the Liu Lobby Gallery (6476 North West Marine Drive) to view a photo exhibition hosted by Tillikum Lens, a program dedicated to empower indigenous youth through image making. Photos displayed were all taken by youth, with the help of experienced instructors who work with local communities and organizations to promote diverse perspectives and cross-cultural understanding.

“People are drawn to different mediums for creative purposes. What we saw within our youth that took part in Tillikum Lens is they not only learned to be creative but began to witness the world around them and document it. For a young person who may not feel they have a place, or purpose in this world this is a massive realization, they became aware and, they belong to that moment. That moment they record has a story and now they are a part of it.” - Osoyoos Indian Band
