Diamond Point is a contemporary Coast Salish artist and member of the Musqueam Indian Band. In her work, Point respectfully incorporates traditional Coast Salish design elements to represent the teachings and history that her ancestors have passed down through generations since time immemorial. In 2014, Point had the privilege of showcasing her work in the Claiming Space: Voices of Urban Indigenous Youth exhibition at the UBC Museum of Anthropology. In 2018, Point created designs for the new Totem Park residences at the University of British Columbia, which were named after the traditional Musqueam village sites c̓əsnaʔəm, həm̓ləsəm̓ and q̓ələχən. In 2019, Point’s artwork became the logo for the Humanities, Arts, Science, Technology Alliance and Collaboratory (HASTAC) conference at UBC, on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Musqueam people. Point’s work was showcased at the Richmond-Brighouse Canada Line station, as part of the 2019 Capture Photography Festival.
