For the solstice I travelled to Steveston's Garry Point for artist Amy-Claire Huestis's "reverent procession," part of her MOTHLIKE/silvery-blue exhibition at the RAG.
The scheduled time was 2000-2130hr (sunset), and I admit to being miffed about being on time and having to wait with others at the shadiest part of the park, on what was an otherwise warm and golden evening.
A young woman from Musqueam (of the Point and Campbell families) told us where we were in words and music. After that, our walk to the water's edge, stopping to form two circles: the first, a reading of the artist's children book, a song, then an Isadora Duncan-style dance of four; the second, in the face of a beach drinking couple blasting Bobby Darin's "Beyond the Sea" (1959). Love that song, too.
