"Transcendence" by Speplól Tanya Zilinski
The exhibit opens at Gallery@501 on March 10, 2026, and shows until April 23, 2026.
Strathcona County is proud to present Transcendence, a new exhibition by artist Speplól Tanya Zilinski from Chawathil First Nation, the traditional and unceded land of the Chawathil people, Ts'qó:ls (Hope, BC). Transcendence is an immersive journey of handmade stories. Tanya’s work uses traditional loom beadwork to create large tapestries that blend Anishinaabe, Ts'qó:ls, and Ukrainian storytelling with universal concepts like geometry, chaos theory, and connection with the natural world. Pieces are sewn onto British Melton wool, reflecting an act of cultural reclamation and resistance.
Join us for a special artist talk and reception with Speplól Tanya Zilinski on Saturday, March 14 at 2 PM.This event and admission to the gallery are free.
