Join West Vancouver Art Museum Assistant Curator Alison Powell for a conversation with artist Aaron Nelson-Moody/Tawx’sin Yexwulla about his activism and advocacy work and the collaborative nature of his working style.
This talk is presented in partnership with the West Vancouver Art Museum, which will exhibit Stepping into the Circle: Aaron Nelson-Moody/Tawx’sin Yexwulla from July 30 to October 5.
Aaron Nelson-Moody’s 30-year-long career encompasses carving, graphic design, and metalwork. As both an artist and educator, community has been fundamental to his artistic approach. While artists of all cultures invite onlookers to ponder the existence of life on Earth, Nelson-Moody’s work is often conceived with a strong intention to create opportunities for profound connection and shared learning. In doing so, Nelson-Moody’s artistic approach actively seeks to create tangible positive change. Using art in the broadest sense of the word—art as cultural encounter, art as protest, art as process, art as teacher—Nelson-Moody invites others into reflection and conversation.
