SUMMARY:Snotty Nose Rez Kids at Dënäkär Zho / Klondike Institute of Art & Culture
DESCRIPTION:Snotty Nose Rez Kids\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWed\, April 29 at Dënäkär Zho / KIAC Ballroom\nCo-presented with the Dawson City Music Festival & Yukon Arts Centre\n \nDoors open at 7:30 / music at 8:00\nALL AGES / Alcohol-free\nTickets: kiacyukon.square.site \n— \nSnotty Nose Rez Kids tore into the music scene with unmistakeable talent and an unforgettable name. Showing off their lyrical prowess and natural storytelling ability\, Yung Trybez and Young D jumpstarted the band with two back-to-back albums in 2017. Their follow up album\, 2019’s TRAPLINE\, really launched their career with hit “Boujee Natives\,” and multiple awards including their first Juno nomination. \nThe band took their high voltage live show on the road and clocked 100 shows in 6 different countries. Their pandemic album\, LIFE AFTER\, saw greater industry recognition with multiple music magazine cover stories\, and strong streaming platform support including Billboard advertisements in Toronto’s Yonge-Dundas Square\, playlist cover images\, and an Amazon Twitch Channel Takeover. Taking the album on the road\, the band toured 80 shows in support of the album across North America. They received their second Juno nomination and performed during the live broadcast. They were invited by The Toronto Raptors to play a half time show\, and to the Vancouver Canucks to play in-between periods. Their 2022 project\, I’M GOOD\, HBU? elevated their career to new heights\, and saw them receive their fourth Polaris Prize Shortlist\, a win for top music video of the year at the Prism Prize Awards for their Beatles-inspired\, DAMN RIGHT\, and landed them 3 Western Canadian Music Awards\, bringing their tally to 13 wins so far. \nSNRK have gone on to dominate in Hip-Hop music\, most recently achieving their biggest milestone\, signing to Sony Music. SNRK are blazing their own path\, weaving together a musical fabric of hard-hitting lyricism\, revealing stories about the struggles they and their people have encountered\, empowering protest songs for the front lines\, and a humor that keeps even the heaviest of topics something you can vibe to. \n– \nMeet & Greet Package add-on \nIncludes: \n– Meet and Greet/Photo opportunity with Snotty Nose Rez Kids\n– Drawstring Bag\n– Sticker Pack\n– Hat\n– Early access to venue\n– Early access to shop merchandise \n\n— \nThank you to our funders: Canada Council for the Arts\, Government of Canada\, and Yukon Government. \nThank you to our local sponsor: Northern Vision Development / the Downtown Hotel

SUMMARY:In the ODD Gallery: Cole Pauls "Iłēge zedle s̱on nes̱it'īn | We See Stars Only At Night"
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to welcome We See Stars Only At Night\, a new exhibition by Yukon artist Cole Pauls\, to the ODD Gallery. \nThis immersive installation brings Pauls’ latest graphic novel into the gallery space in its entirety—featuring 80 pages of original\, hand-drawn comics displayed across the walls. The work expands beyond the page\, with layered collage elements\, zip-a-tone textures\, and repeating shapes transforming the gallery into a dreamlike environment you can move through. \nCreated intuitively without a set script\, We See Stars Only At Night unfolds as a surrealist exploration of Tahltan culture\, storytelling\, and connection to land. The imagery moves between the personal and the collective\, weaving together animals\, regalia\, harvesting practices\, and cultural knowledge. \nBy presenting the graphic novel as both book and installation\, Pauls invites visitors to experience the story in a completely unique way—encountering each page as part of a larger\, living composition. \nCome spend some time with this powerful and imaginative work. \nAbout Cole Pauls \nCole Pauls is a Champagne and Aishihik Citizen and Tahltan comic artist\, illustrator\, and printmaker from Haines Junction\, Yukon. His work blends humour\, surrealism\, and Indigenous storytelling\, with a focus on language\, land\, and cultural continuity. He is the author of four graphic novels\, including Dakwäkãda Warriors\, Pizza Punks\, Kwändür\, and We See Stars Only At Night. \nGallery Hours: \nTuesday- Friday: 10am- 5pmSaturday: 12pm -4pm
