Student curators discuss their work creating the exhibit Trading Faces: A 20th-century Northwest Coast Collection. Exploration of carvings, prints, paintings, and other items from Canada and Alaska reveal tension between category and significance as indigenous creations circulate in a Westernized art market. Artists, collectors, institutions, and the objects themselves shape how we appreciate these modern and contemporary pieces.
