Vancouver artist Henry Tsang's video installation is bringing a moment of reflection to the Surrey Art Gallery.

Tsang returns with the second part of his exhibition In Plain Sight at the gallery. This installation, Tansy Point, continues Tsang's interest in memory, history, and language; the installation creates a single image of Tansy Point by overlapping two video projections.

Tansy Point, which is now modern-day Oregon, is where the Anson Dart Treaties were signed back in 1851 between the Indigenous Chinook People and the U.S. government. 

"These agreements were never ratified by Congress even though the federally defined land and rights of the Chinook were subsequently taken away," he Surrey Arts Gallery website states.

Tsang spoke with CIVL about his path into the arts and his interest in the history of the Indigenous people. 

The Surrey Art Gallery's exhibition curator, Jordan Storm, will be leading the public on a two-part tour and conversation with Tsang and VideoPoetry artist Tom Konyves on Nov. 26 from 2-3:30 p.m.
