Join us next Wednesday!

You’re invited to Culture as Medicine, a special event celebrating the unveiling of a new public artwork by Mi’kmaw artist Alan Syliboy in the foyer of the Sir Charles Tupper Medical Building, alongside the launch of The Journey So Far, the major new publication accompanying his 2024 retrospective at Dalhousie Art Gallery.
Presented in partnership with Dalhousie Art Gallery, Nimbus Publishing, and Dalhousie’s Faculty of Medicine, this event celebrates art as a powerful way of honouring people, place, cultural memory, and community.
Alan Syliboy’s work draws on ancient Mi’kmaq petroglyphs to create a contemporary visual language rooted in identity, ancestral knowledge, and connection across generations. Bringing his work into the Tupper Foyer is part of a broader effort to create inclusive and welcoming campus spaces where people feel safe, respected, and seen.
Wednesday, June 10, 2026
5:00–7:00 pm
Sir Charles Tupper Medical Building Foyer
5850 College Street, Halifax
Attendance is limited and RSVP is required by June 3. Please register through the link in bio / RSVP link.
A limited number of copies of The Journey So Far will be available on site with an opportunity to have books signed by the artist. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating this meaningful new installation and publication. Learn more about the publication through Nimbus Publishing: https://nimbus.ca/store/alan-syliboy.htm
