Skeena Wild film and photo festival kicks off in TerraceBC
, including never before seen footage of a giant 140-foot Chinook Salmon art installation by Alex and Michelle Stoney of Gitanmaax.
Alex and his sister made a series of Indigenous art installations out of driftwood near New Hazelton and it became a community project. The idea was to show the cycle of time as the river rose and washed away the artwork each season.“We involved all the communities of the Hazelton area, Gitanmaax, Kispiox, New Town… People came from all over, like, Terrace, Smithers and Burns Lake, all helping all together. So that was exciting,” she said.
The festival started 13 years ago as a group of freinds getting together and grew through word of mouth, it became a popular place for Terrace artists to showcase their work and has since grown to include other northern communities. Sorochan said the MP was required to “keep it apolitical,” adding that the MP was inspired to put the film together when a young fellow performed a song that he wrote called ‘take me to your river.’
