James Groening: Memories – September 21 to October 27
In Cree, “mihko kiskisiwin’ means “blood memory”. Elders have long said that memory is in the blood and bone, that stories are not only passed on verbally, but genetically as well. As the descendent of a residential school survivor, James Groening’s exhibition, Memories, is a testament to his ongoing pursuit to reclaiming and connecting with his identity through artistic expression. Groening’s vibrant, woodland-style art depicts stories and legends from his rich cultural heritage.
Exhibition runs: September 21 to October 27
Opening Reception: Wednesday, September 25 at 5pm - Join us for drumming, singing and open sharing as we honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Location
The Pitt Meadows Art Gallery is located within the South Bonson Community Centre at 10932 Barnston View Rd. and is open to the public Tuesday - Sunday 11am - 3pm.
