The University of British Columbia has long given importance to public art and how these installations represent the UBC community.Last year, UBC announced Campus Vision 2050, a project for expanding and developing the campus. These developments include the expansion of the Skytrain to UBC and the creation of new public spaces.While Campus Vision 2050 does not specifically outline plans for public art installations and exhibitions, there are opportunities within the project to expand the scope of public art at UBC. This is especially true for art that reflects and represents UBC's diverse community – and its connections with the Musqueam people.For example, UBC will make a new addition to its reconciliation pole with a bronze disk carved by Musqueam artist Richard Campbell. This is just one way that UBC endeavours to increase visibility of Musqueam culture on its lands.There are no concrete public art ventures as of yet, but the Point Grey campus students and staff can feel optimistic of further integration of public art into communal spaces.Story by the @ubyssey
