Bronze Sculptures of Drs James Till and Ernest McCulloch
Science World is pleased to partner with the Skwachàys Lodge Artist in Residence Program to display the artwork of talented artists.
The Skwachàys Artists exhibition showcases the Artists in Residence program at Skwachàys Lodge in downtown Vancouver. This unique program provides an enriching growth opportunity for all practicing Indigenous visual artists, actors, directors, writers, and musicians. The Artists in Residence program includes housing, unlimited access to shared artist workshops, and participation in programming opportunities for personal and/or professional development. The goal of the program is to help artists develop their craft and move into the next phase of their careers.
Our goal is to introduce the value of Indigenous Ways of Knowing in STEAM through art and other cultural practices. By working alongside Indigenous Peoples in Canada, we are creating space for Indigenous artists to connect with their cultural past to support the future of a thriving culture.
To celebrate the 55th anniversary of the discovery of stem cells—a discovery pioneered by Canadian scientists, Drs. James Till and Ernest McCulloch—STEMCELL Technologies Inc. gifted Science World with bronze sculptures of the scientists created by artist Ruth Abernethy.
As a charitable organization, we value donations from the community to help promote science literacy across the province.
These sculptures sit outside our entrance as a representation of a proud moment in Canadian scientific history, and a recognition of Canadians as the forerunners of stem cell research.
The findings of Drs. Till and McCulloch has led to advances in research and treatment of cancer and continues to be developed by researchers all over the world, such as the research by Dr. Connie Eaves (of the BC Cancer Research Centre) who worked with Dr. Till.
Next to these sculptures are three "empty" stools denoting a space for scientists from all backgrounds to engage with this work; celebrating the past, challenging the present and looking towards a brighter future.
