P̓a̱sa'p is a collaborative exhibition hosted by Norberg Hall and curated by LaTiesha Fazakas of Fazakas Gallery. The term p̓a̱sa'p means the action of giving a potlatch to another, and is the guiding principle behind the collaboration. Participating artists come from Tlingit, Haida, and Kwakwaka’wakw territories where potlatching is an integral part of social, spiritual, economic, and political life. Fazakas Gallery and Norberg Hall are thrilled for the opportunity to share stories, knowledge, and resources as part of a reciprocal community forged through friendship and shared values.
