$5 Handshake is the fourth installment of the SFU Galleries Critical Reader Series. The series encourages critical discourse and arts writing in conjunction with SFU exhibitions and programming. This collection of writings is an extension to the 2017 Audain Gallery group show, Maps and Dreams.

Alongside others, exhibition curators Brian Jungen and Melanie O’Brian consider the implications of land use from industrial as well as cultural perspectives, with a special focus on the territory of the Dane-zaa people (Treaty 8).
