ReMatriate participated in the exhibition Beginning with the Seventies: Collective Acts, September 4, 2018 - December 2, 2018 at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery in Vancouver, British Columbia. Dana Claxton imposed images of the collective's members onto an archival image that references the Service, Office and Retail Workers’ Union of Canada (SORWUC) 1978 protest action against the Muckamuck Restaurant.[2]
In 2019, ReMatriate guest curated the exhibition qaʔ yəxʷ - water honours us: Womxn and Waterways, April 10 – October 2, 2019, at the Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art.[3] The exhibition focuses on the connection between "womxn and water in the matriarchal societies of the Northwest Coast, with special attention to the roles of child-bearers, healers, and doulas."[4]
