The Art of Reconciliation Exhibition is currently at the BC Legislature until October 14.
The Art of Reconciliation is a program for Indigenous and non-Indigenous young people aged 18-29 to help them explore how they feel about reconciliation. Participants are invited to create artwork based on their own personal perspectives of what Reconciliation means to them. The art making process follows a series of preparatory workshops to help them explore the theme of Reconciliation while being supported therapeutically by an Art Therapist. Participant’s final artwork and their artist statements are thus the result of weeks of reflection, group discussion and deep learning. Public exhibitions help bring the broader community into the Reconciliation dialogue.
