Museum of Anthropology at UBC presents I Use My Haida Eyes: The History Robes of Jut-ke-Nay–Hazel Wilson, May 14–October 12, 2026

The Museum of Anthropology at UBC (MOA) presents the world premiere of I Use My Haida Eyes: The History Robes of Jut-ke-Nay–Hazel Wilson, on display from May 14 to October 12, 2026. The exhibition features an epic collection of 51 “history robes” by Jut-ke-Nay–Hazel Wilson (1941–2016), a Haida artist who dedicated her life to Haida cultural and artistic work. The series of robes, which draw on the distinctive form and techniques of traditional “button blankets” of the Northwest Coast, document specific episodes of Haida history from a Haida perspective and will be on display as a full collection for the first time. The history robes index the innovative ways in which Haida and Indigenous artists continuously expand on traditional forms to speak to a changing world.
