CSDA/CCAD Sundays: Makers Series Presents Hase’ kanał – Beautiful Breath of Our Ancestors: West Coast Traditional Wood Carving with renowned Kwagu’ł artist Calvin Hunt      

Sunday, March 2, 2025 - 3 p.m. (ET) Via Zoom. 

British Columbia’s Northwest Coast is the ancestral home of the Kwakwaka’wakw First Nations, whose distinctive cultural heritage is recognizable in colourful, elaborately carved wooden totem poles, masks and canoes. Coming from an extended family of Kwagu’ł wood carvers, Calvin Hunt’s work has received international acclaim and is much sought after for public commissions and by private collectors. In this presentation, Calvin will take us on a journey through his 55-year career, tracing the cultural roots and spiritual values that inform his art, and he will describe the process of creating two unique masterpieces, from start to finish.
