About
Join us for a Community Art Build to create and paint screen-print banners in support of the #ReconcileThis movement. This free, drop-in workshop will be an opportunity to learn about the initiative while engaging creatively in this participatory art-making event.
All materials will be provided, come as you are. Feel free to bring a T-shirt to print as well! This event runs from noon to 3 pm - drop in at any time.
#ReconcileThis is a social media initiative to uplift and amplify Indigenous voices online by activating and sharing stories, languages, culture and perspectives through provocative digital performances and conversations in response to this hashtag.
In response to the confirmation of unmarked graves at the Kamloops Residential School in Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc, #ReconcileThis reflects the frustration many Indigenous people feel and poses the question: “What does reconciliation really mean?”
