SUMMARY:Where The Rivers Meet
DESCRIPTION:Where The Rivers Meet is a display within the City Gallery that centers the Original Peoples who have been on this land since time immemorial. It includes information about migration\, land relationship\, treaties\, impacts of colonization\, and past and present-day perspectives. The display also considers the founding story of Guelph within the context of a longer history lens. \nThis display is a living exhibition that reflects the truth as we understand it today. We continue to learn from our treaty partner\, the Missisaugas of the Credit First Nation\, and from Indigenous people who call Guelph home today. The display will continue to be updated as our knowledge grows.

SUMMARY:Weaving Cultural Identities: Celebrating Heritage and Textile Traditions
DESCRIPTION:This Vancouver Biennale nationally-touring exhibition brings together artists and graphic designers of diverse Indigenous and Muslim backgrounds to collaborate on a series of textile artworks that celebrate the sacred\, historic\, and creative significance of prayer rugs and weaving traditions. \nThe project began with a series of questions: \nIn a contemporary society of mixed cultures and values\, how do we begin to navigate heritage and diverse beliefs? How do we share sacred space?\nHow do we come together to understand each other’s experiences?\nWhat can we learn about ourselves from our inherited histories?\nWhat can we learn from each other? \nIn the co-creation of the exhibition\, the artists developed a platform and process for community dialogue centred in discussions of belonging\, forced displacement\, diaspora\, assimilation\, and relationship to the land. The resulting series of prayer rugs became a spiritual conduit from past to present and between peoples and places\, both near and far. \nThrough the integrated motifs and design elements\, this exhibition will inspire visitors to explore their own cultural identities\, while honouring ancestral legacies and celebrating inter-cultural connections. \nWeaving Cultural Identities: Celebrating Heritage and Textile Traditions was curated by Zarina Laalo and commissioned as part of the 2018-2021 Vancouver Biennale\, with touring support from the Canada Council for the Arts and the British Columbia Arts Council. \nGuelph Museums’ presentation is funded in part by the Government of Canada\, through the Museums Assistance Program – Exhibition Circulation Fund. \nTisser les identités culturelles : saluer la diversité et les traditions textiles\nCette exposition nationale itinérante réunit une variété d’ artistes et graphistes autochtones et musulman.es afin de collaborer sur une série d’œuvres d’art en tissu qui fête l’importance sacrée\, historique et créative des tapis de prière et des traditions des arts tissés. \nLe projet a commencé par une série de questions : \nDans une société contemporaine qui mélange des cultures et des valeurs\, comment peut-on commencer à négocier nos héritages et croyances ?\nComment peut-on partager l’espace sacré ?\nComment peut-on venir ensemble afin de comprendre les expériences des un.es et des autres ?\nQu’est-ce que les personnes peuvent apprendre sur eux-même des histoires qu’elles ont héritées ?\nQu’est-ce qu’on peut apprendre les un.es des autres ? \nAu cours de la création conjointe de l’exposition\, les artistes ont établi une plateforme et un processus de dialogue communautaire centrés sur les discussions relatives à l’appartenance\, au déplacement forcé\, à la diaspora\, à l’assimilation et à la relation à la terre. \nLa série de tapis de prière qui en résulte est devenue une voie spirituelle entre le passé et le présent\, entre les peuples et les lieux\, qu’ils soient proches ou lointains. \nCette exposition\, qui intègre des motifs et des éléments de conception\, inspirera les visiteurs à explorer leur propre identité culturelle\, tout en honorant les héritages ancestraux et en célébrant les liens interculturels. \nTisser des identités culturelles : Saluer la diversité et les traditions textiles a été organisée par Zarina Laalo. L’exposition a été commandée pour la Biennale de Vancouver de 2018-2021\, avec le soutien du Conseil des Arts du Canada et du BC Arts Council pour la tournée \nLa présentation des Musées de Guelph est financée en partie par le gouvernement du Canada\, grâce au Fonds des expositions itinérantes — Programme d’aide aux musées. \n\n\n\n	Prayer Rug \n\n\n	Reflections \n\n\n	Skw’enmáylh – Prayer \n\n\n	Unbroken Prayer (Tellequah’s Message) \n\n\n	What Does Your Path Look Like? \n\n\n	Find What You Need \n\n\n	The Other Side \n\n\n	Dialogues of Spirit \n\n\n	Celebrating Knowledge and Belief: An Intercultural Dialogue \n\n\n	Whose Needle (Can) Will Re-stitch the Earth to the Sky \n\n\n\n\n \nImage Credits from Left to Right: \nTop Row: 1.

SUMMARY:Art as We Are: Creative Community Care
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Art Not Shame and Guelph Museums\, Art as We Are: Creative Community Care spotlights three projects centred in collective community-making through art and involving about 200 local creators: Art in Hard Times (2020)\, Art in a Just Recovery (2023)\, and Community Fabric (2024). The exhibition also shares the origin story of Art Not Shame\, a community-engaged\, multidisciplinary arts organization serving youth and adults in Guelph and across Ontario since 2017. \nIn 2020\, artist Melanie Schambach led a team of artists and social support workers in the creation of The Mural Project: Art in Hard Times. Collectively\, they aimed to amplify the voices of those who identified as: newcomers\, LGBTQ21+\, Black\, Indigenous\, people of colour\, street engaged\, adults with developmental exceptionalities\, and youth struggling with mental health and addictions. \nIn 2023\, Art Not Shame\, Guelph Neighbourhood Support Coalition\, and artist Melanie Schambach collaborated on Art in a Just Recovery: Reconnecting to Us\, a project that explored community care in pandemic recovery. Through a series of in-person and online art-making workshops\, participants were partnered with Art Buddies in creating artworks that came together in a large-scale mural. \nIn 2024\, Art Not Shame\, Guelph Neighbourhood Support Coalition\, and Guelph Museums collaborated on the Community Fabric project 一 a ten-week community-arts series in which participants worked together to create a community quilt\, build social connections\, and develop skills to support their mental health and wellbeing. The completed quilt will be unveiled in the exhibition Art as We Are: Creative Community Care\, which opened for public viewing on Saturday\, August 24.
