SUMMARY:The Serving Library: The Serving Library presents Candice Hopkins
DESCRIPTION:Native Economies: From the Potlatch Ban to the Masks of Beau Di
 ck\n\n24 May 2018\, 6.30pm\n\nJoin us for a performative talk by Candice H
 opkins (Art Historian and Curator\, Toronto) curated by The Serving Librar
 y in partnership with LJMU's Exhibition Research Lab for Liverpool Biennia
 l 2018.\n\nIn the Kwak'wala language\, 'nuyumbalees' means stories from th
 e beginning of the world\, while 'u'mista' means a return to the place of 
 origin. These words have been used to name two cultural centres in Alert B
 ay and in Cape Mudge that house masks and dance regalia repatriated after 
 the potlatch ban in Canada (1885–1951). The 'potlatch' is the generalise
 d name for different ceremonies practiced by indigenous peoples of the Pac
 ific Northwest Coast of Canada and the USA\, many of which centre on the d
 isplay and shared distribution of wealth. Traditionally\, potlaches served
  as the primary economic system in these communities\, setting in motion a
  separate system of governance and social structure that colonisers could 
 not countenance. In this performative talk\, Hopkins will spin a tale that
  begins with the potlatch ban to consider how this native economy and its 
 ritual ideologies function today.\n\nDrinks from 6pm\, talks 6.30–7.30
 pm. Free\, booking required here:\n\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/nativ
