A special event at this show will be the debut of Cole Pauls’ new book, We See Stars Only At Night (we’ve used the front cover image for the flyer art this time).
The description of the book, from the publisher’s website: “Lłēge zedle s̱on nes̱it’īn (Tahltan for we see stars only at night) is a surrealistic landscape of Tahltan shapes, culture and motifs. Originally created for the Nanaimo Art Gallery’s group show “Gutters are Elastic” between July 15 to September 23, 2023, Pauls decided to expand the work into a full length book.
Playing with the connection between land, regalia, performance and heritage, Pauls follows in the footsteps of Tiger Tateishi, Hironori Kikuchi and Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas with his dreamlike narrative.”
Admission to the show is $5; kids under 14 get in free.

Call for Artist Applications: Immigration Detention in Canada – Law and Lived Experience
The Comics Studies Research Cluster at UBC is seeking applications from cartoonists to work on an exciting new graphic novel project. The project seeks to capture the lived experience of Canadian immigration detention through comics. The project will involve working with 2-3 individuals who arrived in Canada as refugees and were subject to immigration detention. The content of the graphic novels will then explore each individual’s story, based on interviews with the individuals and media produced in collaboration with them.
The goal of the project is to convey the day-to-day life of immigration
detention – from the uncertainty and boredom to the trauma and loss. Each
graphic narrative will be 20-30 pages long and will focus on different aspects
of the experience as told by each individual.
Artists will receive compensation that aligns with their experience. We are
committed to ensuring meaningful compensation and have the funding to offer a
generous honorarium (up to $10,000 per graphic narrative) commensurate with
experience.
For more information, please see the official Call for Applications on the UBC
Comics Studies Cluster website: https://comics.arts.ubc.ca/
Application materials (Letter of Interest, max 1 page; 3 examples of comic art,
max 10 pages; optional Creative Statement for working with these themes) should
be submitted by email by February 5th @ 5PM to Dr. Biz Nijdam, Director of the
UBC Comics Studies Cluster, at comics.studies@ubc.ca.
