In the second instalment of Opus Creative Lives, we hear from Leah Pipe, Roy Henry Vickers and Michelle Stoney, all participants in the creation of the mural The Return, located in Old Hazelton, BC in the heart of Gitxsan territory. They share a vision of the artist’s role in healing and moving societies forward, navigating obstacles from social crisis through to pandemic, with stories of the past and hopes for the future.
