Calling all artists aged 18-29. This is a wonderful opportunity to explore concepts of reconciliation through art with the opportunity of co-creating a public mural and participating in a group show at a local gallery. This project is several years in the making, includes many supportive workshops and opportunities for discussion about the complicated themes of reconciliation.

Have a look at the website for more information or feel free to PM me if you or someone you know might be interested.

In partnership with Victoria Native Friendship Centre (VNFC), the UVIC Centre for Youth & Society and Debbie Douez Art Therapy, we are issuing a call for participants in the "Art of Reconciliation" program.

We invite participation from Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth between the ages of 18-29.

As we prepare the Art of Reconciliation program, we want to acknowledge that this is a challenging time for many Indigenous people.

While we grieve and mourn the loss of not just the children of tk'emlúps te secwépemc, but all children and survivors impacted by the legacy and ongoing harm caused by the Indian Residential School system, we recognize that framing a program around the term ‘reconciliation’ is complex and problematic.

However, through the program we welcome participants to learn about and actively challenge the space of reconciliation. We invite community to come together and process ideas around reconciliation, while working towards shared understanding and solutions.

The group will be supported by therapeutic art-making, and additional mental health resources will be made available to those who may require it.

DEADLINE: Wed. June 16 at noon
COMMITMENT: 2 weekly Zoom sessions from Jun 22 - Aug 30
