Movies That Matter, a film series program of the City of Fort Worth’s Human Relations Commission, will present Haida Modern: The Art and Activism of Robert Davidson at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 6, at Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, 3200 Darnell St.
Admission is free. Make reservations online.
Haida artist Robert Davidson is one of the foremost cultural icons of the age. Haida Modern features candid and revealing conversations with the artist himself, along with commentary from art historians, politicians, musicians and family members detailing the importance and impact of Davidson's work. Highlighted in these conversations is the story of how Davidson carved the first totem pole raised on the island of Haida Gwaii in more than 100 years — a spiritual and political act credited with sparking a reawakening of indigenous culture in the Pacific Northwest.
