Port Hardy Library & Museum Mural

 

From its rugged coastline and rich ecosystems to the complex community and histories,that shape the community, Port Hardy is a place made up of many interconnected parts. We worked with the District of Port Hardy and community partners to bring these diverse perspectives together into a vibrant  91x34 foot mural for the exterior of the Port Hardy Library and Museum.

​

Our bold, colourful graphic style and mosaic-like composition reflect the tapestry of perspectives and ecosystems that intertwine to define modern-day Port Hardy. Each element stands on its own while contributing to a larger whole, celebrating the many layers and connections that make the community unique. 

​

Flowlines and organic shapes connect across the mural, quilting together these disparate elements and scenes, and weaving together Fenwood’s designs with artwork by our collaborator, Kwakwaka’wakw artist Johnny Henderson. The result is a cohesive and vibrant mural to brighten Port Hardy's downtown on its rainiest winter days and reflect a community-led vision of modern-day Port Hardy for its community and visitors.

Walking with Gratitude and Intent

At Fenwood Creative, our work is rooted in place. We share stories of the land across Turtle Island (North America). We honour the deep knowledge and enduring relationships that Indigenous communities hold with the land, water, and all living things. Their stories are inseparable from the places we interpret, and we are committed to uplifting Indigenous voices and centering them in our work. 

​

We are grateful to live, work, play, and raise our families on Treaty 6 Territory (the traditional and current lands of the Cree, Saultaux, Nakota, Sioux, and Dene), the Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4, and the unceded traditional territory of the Ktunaxa Nation. We commit to listening, learning, and walking alongside Indigenous Peoples with respect and humility.
