The Weltkulturen Museum invites to the presentation of a film by Diana Hellson (Siksika Nation). It will be on display in a cabinet exhibition with historical objects from the museum collection. The film is produced in cooperation with the Weltkulturen Museum and shows portraits of three First Nation artists* from British Columbia: Tom Hunt, Meghann O’Brien and Christie Lee Charles.
The project is part of the cultural programme accompanying Canada’s hosting of the 2020 Frankfurt Book Fair, and is sponsored by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Canadian government.
