Lineage

Teeanna Munro (maternal last names: Phillips, King and Taylor) is a treasure hunter, and collector of stories from Vancouver, BC. In 1911 her family immigrated to Alberta, Canada as homesteaders from Texas and Oklahoma  and eventually moved to Vancouver in 1929. Her family’s heritage has been passed down and preserved through generations by way of the oral tradition, and love-infused archiving and curation practices. Storytelling and scrapbooking in her family has been for entertainment but also as an unconscious and conscious act of centering themselves in a context that disregarded and negated their experiences. Teeanna now continues this tradition, not only to make the invisible visible, but also as a loving familial practice of joy making.
