Community Complicity is a collaborative project between B.C. artists and local residents that supports the production of new work exploring social, political and economic issues. Two B.C. artists, Jayce Salloum and Henry Tsang, mentored local emerging artists while working in partnership with liaisons from the community.

Salloum collaborates with Chad Paul, a member of the Westbank First Nation, on a video project that investigates the trajectories of territorial loss, environmental stewardship and the complexities of reconciling traditional values with contemporary life. During his residency, Salloum mentored two emerging artists - Bracken Hanuse Corlett, from the Wuikinuxv, Klahoose and Heitsuk Nations, and Cam Gabriel, a member of the Penticton Indian Band - as they created their own video projects.

Tsang, along with a research and production team that included Okanagan artists Susan Brandoli and Susan Bizecki, worked with local community members on a video-based project on the B.C. wine industry. He explores the boom in agri-tourism, which has helped catalyze rapid urbanization in the Okanagan, and considers how land management practices have shifted in the face of urban development. Napa North looks at what is at stake when agriculture is re-branded as a backdrop for luxury living.

Final works were screened at On Common Ground, a national media festival and conference in Kelowna from June 10 to June 14, 2008.
