ROCKIES REPEAT WHERE CULTURE MEETS CLIMATE           

Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies 
January 21 – April 4

Rockies Repeat grapples with the cultural impact of climate change in the Canadian Rockies. The film follows a team of Indigenous and settler artists as they trek into the mountains to reinterpret the work of early Banff painter, Catharine Robb Whyte to see familiar places from new perspectives a century later.​

Instead of the timeless vistas captured by Robb Whyte, the artists endure record-breaking temperatures, horizons obscured by wildfire smoke, and an unrecognizable glacial backdrop. They race to capture a disappearing landscape, as climate change threatens the future of the iconic glaciers of the Rockies. Their journey is a heartbreaking meditation on a shifting sense of place in a rapidly changing climate.  

Exhibiting Artists: Ariel Hill, Kayla Eykelboom, Cheyenne Ozingja-Thiha, Sikapinakii Low Horn, Emily Beaudoin, and Kerry Langlois.
