Booktopia: Visit a Sea Garden with Roy Henry Vickers and Kay Weisman
Channel: West Vancouver Memorial Library
Date: 2020-12-04

Recorded on December 3, 2020.
Join renowned Canadian First Nations artist Roy Henry Vickers and debut author Kay Weisman for a discussion about their new book, If You Want to Visit a Sea Garden.

Sea gardens have been created by First Peoples on the Northwest coast for more than three thousand years. These gardens consist of stone reefs that are constructed at the lowest tide line, encouraging the growth of clams and other marine life on the gently sloped beach.

Kay will share some of her research on these remarkable places, which serve as both a reliable food source and have long been traditional places of learning. Roy will talk about his process of creating the art for this and other illustrated books. A Q&A will follow.
