Tuesday – Saturday, 4:30pm – 10:00pm. Legacy Sidewalk Gallery.
Curated by Nicole Achtymichuk (UVic, BSc ’20, Young Canada Works Curatorial Intern)
What the Land Holds is a contemporary video art exhibition that examines the land as integral to Indigenous histories and futures, and as a site of ongoing colonization and alienation. The land holds layers of interpretation that establish places of inclusion and exclusion. The land holds what humans have created, blurring the lines between natural and artificial. The land holds stories and teachings, and returning to these is essential to our continued survival on the land.
This is the inaugural exhibition in Legacy’s new Sidewalk Gallery, a space designed to activate and inspire community collaborations and to make art more accessible to the public.

Hosted by the School of Environment & Sustainability, the Building Back Better webinar series is all about how we can take advantage of the global pause we’ve experienced due to COVID-19, and radically shift and accelerate how we address the most pressing issue of our times: climate change.
While for decades the climate crisis may have seemed like an abstract issue to the average bystander, the impacts are becoming harder and harder to ignore. Tipping points such as warming in the arctic, ocean currents, tropical forest ecosystem collapse, and monsoon patterns are some of the indicators of this crisis we face, and impact all living beings on this earth.
On May 20, join us as we launch the first webinar of the series. In this session, Dr. Thomas Homer-Dixon, adjunct professor and director of the Cascade Institute, and Drs. Leslie King and Chris Ling, professors and program heads in the School of Environment and Sustainability will explore these climate change tipping points. They will also discuss the social and policy tipping points that may offer hope - such as the adoption of renewable energy, disinvestment, and changes in urban form and urban infrastructure. This series is all about having conversations that can help spark the collective action we need to take to respond to the challenges we’re facing in regards to climate change, so bring your questions and join the discussion!
We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend. Everyone who registers will receive a link to the webinar recording.
Date: Thursday, May 20, 2021
Time: 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. (pacific time)
