Connecting with the art of survivors
Location: Print Study Centre, FAB 3-78
In this workshop, you'll get the opportunity to engage with visual art and written works of residential school survivors.
The Library and Museums collections host several items created by residential school survivors that are not necessarily directly connected to their experiences at residential school. Engage with these works by learning more about their history and their creators, making connections between them, and understanding your own relationship to this shared history.
This workshop offers the rare opportunity to get a sneak peek of six new acquisitions of artwork that will be included in the upcoming exhibit, "On Becoming."
