Through the art of Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, "The Seriousness of Play" explores the multiple forms, materialities and meaning of Haida Manga as it playfully mutates through repurposed automobile parts, large-scale public art projects, mixed media sculptures and two-dimensional painted and graphic forms. Haida Manga combines traditional Native Northwest Coast designs and form-lines with manga (or manhwa) to create a distinctive and dynamic artform for re-telling oral histories and addressing contemporary issues surrounding land, cultural memory, ecological destruction and the politics of belonging, ownership and identity.
Nicola Levell is an assistant professor of museum and visual anthropology at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver). Her current research, publications and curatorial practice focus on the creative interplay between art and anthropology. Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas (born 1954) is a visual artist, and creator of Haida Manga. His wide-ranging artistic practice explores themes of identity, environmentalism and the human condition. Influenced by both the tradition of Haida iconography and contemporary Asian visual culture, he has created an artistic practice that crosses diverse cultures, generations, and disciplines.
