Alan Hunt is a carver and hereditary chief of Kwakwaka’wakw and Tlingit ancestry, and lives in Alert Bay, B.C. He dedicates himself to the cultural practices of his people as a singer in ceremonies and as an active participant in the Potlatch. Hunt began carving in 2011 and began an apprenticeship under Beau Dick in 2013. While Dick was the artist-in-residence at UBC’s Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory, Hunt worked closely with Dick in his studio and assisted in the creation of the works for documenta 14.
