Galanin's work embodies cultural memory, reclaiming narratives often silenced or distorted. For him, 'cultural knowledge and memory sharpen our vision of the present.' His art challenges societal amnesia, highlighting the consequences of colonialism while fostering a dialogue about resilience and collective healing.
The installation Loom, with stacked children's desks forming a totem-like structure, memorializes the Indigenous children who suffered under the boarding school system, serving as a solemn reminder of the atrocities endured.
In 3D Consumption Illustration, Galanin critiques the commodification of Indigenous symbols by slicing a totem figure into firewood, emphasizing the ongoing struggle to preserve Indigenous culture.
