Our Name:
Tah’lum Indigenous Artists Collective
Our collective recognizes the importance of upholding our Lekwungen host nation’s protocols while also being mindful of the many different cultural backgrounds that local Indigenous artists are creating from.
We are grateful to Yuxweluptun Qwal’qaxala (Bradley Dick) for offering a new name for the collective: Tah’lum. In Lekwungen, Tah’lum refers to a wild cherry tree that once existed on Lekwungen lands. This word helps redefine the space with how we harvest creativity and keep our ancestral landmarks alive through such intent.
The Tah’lum logo was created by TEALIYE, Brianna Bear
