SUMMARY:History Bites: From the Vault - Uranium Glass and Marie Curie
DESCRIPTION:Marie Curie was a Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. One of the women featured in Iron Willed: Women in STEM\, Marie discovered polonium and radium\, championed the use of radiation in medicine and drastically changed our understanding of radioactivity. \nCurie’s scientific journey began by studying radiation\, recently discovered in uranium by Henri Becquerel. She found that an ore containing uranium was far more radioactive than could be explained by its uranium content. In this special episode of History Bites: From the Vault\, Visitor Experiences Assistant Anna will take you into our collection to explore the history of Uranium Glass! \nHistory Bites is a monthly series of bite-sized conversations inspired by current exhibitions and stories from the collection. \n\nWatch the episode:

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: Missing Memorials? How Canada has Commemorated the Second World War
DESCRIPTION:Banner image: King George VI and Queen Elizabeth unveiling the National War Memorial in Ottawa\, May 22\, 1939. Toronto Star Photograph Archive\, TSPA_0122512F. \nThe war memorials that dot communities across the country are the sites of the most important public ceremonies of the civic calendar. They hearken back to our history\, they help us remember our war dead\, and they help us envision the future. But they have histories of their own.  \nThis talk by Thomas Littlewood presents new research which reconsiders our understandings of these memorials\, when they were built\, and what they mean. \n\nAbout Thomas Littlewood:\nThomas Littlewood is a PhD candidate at the University of Guelph. His research considers how Canada has commemorated the Second World War. Originally from New Brunswick\, Thomas is interested in how local communities engage with their pasts—this includes commemoration\, museums\, and memory. He has degrees from Mount Allison University\, the University of New Brunswick\, and Western University. \n \nGuelph Museums’ Military Lecture series is presented in partnership with the Laurier Centre for the Study of Canada. \n \n  \n\nMissed the live event?

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: The Evolution of Canadian Export Policy\, 1946-1991
DESCRIPTION:“Things that go ‘Krump’ in the Night”: The Evolution of Canadian Export Policy\, 1946-1991 is presented by Paul Esau. \nFor more than three decades\, successive Canadian governments have tied themselves in knots to justify the sale of Canadian-produced weapons to Saudi Arabia. Yet the Saudi sales are only the latest chapter in a history of arms sales to conflict regions which extends back to the Second World War\, and includes customers from all over the world. These sales have contradicted both Canada’s foreign policy in general\, as well as the specific military export restrictions which are supposed to constrain Canadian arms sales to certain destinations. \nFrom a historical perspective this hypocrisy is the norm\, rather than the exception. For nearly 80 years the Canadian government has been attempting to decide what can be sold to whom\, and why – while constantly revising its decision to allow for the next lucrative arms sale. Still\, how does a country which has consistently committed to upholding democracy\, human rights and peacekeeping also justify consistently selling weapons to undemocratic and repressive regimes in conflict regions? The answer reveals a remarkable story of creative policy-making\, bureaucratic bumbling\, cultivated innocence\, and occasional scandal. \nCanadian-made LAVs being transported along the 401 highway in Ontario (c. 2019).

He has interned with several Canadian peace and disarmament organizations\, including Project Ploughshares and the Canadian Landmines Foundation\, and teaches classes on nuclear\, chemical\, biological\, and conventional arms control. He lives in Kitchener with his wife\, Heidi\, and their hedgehog Juniper. \n\nMiss the live event?

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: Men and Morale - Canadian Army Training in the Second World War
DESCRIPTION:Banner Image: Soldiers attending a field lecture in Vernon\, BC\, Canada\, ca. 1940. (Museum and Archives of\nVernon\, #9678) \nWatch the recording.\nThe Canadian Army of the Second World War spent more time preparing and training their citizen soldiers then they did in sustained action. This chiefly took place across Canada and in the United Kingdom. Adequate training functioned as a cradle for collective action\, morale\, empowerment\, self-confidence\, and\, ultimately\, success in battle. Yet\, due to a number of factors\, a sufficient standard of training was not always achieved by all. \nThere were limits to the Canadian Army’s ability to control the morale of its men as it created a vast organization from scratch. Training camp experiences varied\, influenced by factors such as food\, weather\, comfort\, group cohesion\, leadership\, skill level\, discipline\, social activities\, and interactions with local civilians. In fact\, it required a constant negotiation between camp leadership and the rank and file. Drawing from her research on both the Canadian and wider Commonwealth armies\, Megan Hamilton’s presentation will explain why soldiers’ morale in training was a difficult\, yet vital\, balancing act. \n“Men and Morale – Canadian Army Training in the Second World War” takes place Thursday\, January 19\, 2023 at 7 pm. The lecture premieres both in-person at the Civic Museum\, and online via our Facebook livestream. The recorded conversation will be available on Facebook\, YouTube\, and our Museum Everywhere Portal after the event. \nTo attend the conversation in-person\, registration is required through Eventbrite. \nGuelph Museums’ Military Lecture series is presented in partnership with the Laurier Centre for the Study of Canada. \n\nAbout Megan Hamilton:\n \nOriginally from Vernon\, British Columbia\, Megan Hamilton is a social and military historian of the 20th century. She has an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree from Wilfrid Laurier University and a Master of Arts degree from the University of Waterloo. Her federally-funded master’s research focused on the Canadian experience of the Second World War\, specifically the Vernon Military Camp. Megan’s work has been published by a number of platforms and in 2022 she won the Tri-University History Program’s top essay prize for master’s students. \nShe is currently located in London\, England\, where she has begun a fully-funded PhD at King’s College London and the Imperial War Museum\, supervised by Dr. Jonathan Fennell. Her dissertation is a study of Second World War army training across the Commonwealth.

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: We Both Survived - The Soldier-Horse Relationship in the First World War
DESCRIPTION:Banner image: “Vimy” and its Mother. The foal was born on the height from which it takes its name. (20th Bty.\, C.F.A.)  \nHorses and mules were essential to the ability of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces to operate in the First World War. Equines hauled supplies\, ammunition\, artillery\, as well as acted as cavalry. Working alongside each other across the Western Front\, soldiers developed relationships with their equine charges. Emily Oakes’ presentation will examine how the soldier-horse relationship functioned in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces and its effects on the soldiers\, such as J.E.B. Seely or John McCrae\, who wrote about their bonds with their horses. \n\n“We Both Survived”: The Soldier-Horse Relationship in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces During the First World War takes place Thursday\, March 23\, 2023 at 7 pm. The lecture premieres both in-person at the Civic Museum\, and online via our Facebook livestream. The recorded conversation will be available on Facebook\, YouTube\, and our Museum Everywhere Portal after the event. *Due to technical difficulties\, posting of the recording of this lecture has been delayed. We hope to have it available soon.” \nTo attend the conversation in-person\, registration is required through Eventbrite. \nGuelph Museums’ Military Lecture series is presented in partnership with the Laurier Centre for the Study of Canada. \nWatch the Recording:  \n\n\n\nAbout Emily Oakes:\nEmily is a Ph.D. student in the Department of History at Wilfrid Laurier University. Her research focusses on the historical relationships between humans and horses in Canadian society. She is also interested in Canadian military history\, having written her MA major research paper on the soldier-horse relationship in the First World War. Emily is archives manager at the Laurier Centre for the Study of Canada

SUMMARY:No Word For Art: Exploring the Indigenous Roots of Creativity
DESCRIPTION:Told from historical and contemporary perspectives\, and through the story of beads\, guest curator Naomi Smith shares the ways of the First Nations people of the Woodlands and Northeastern regions of Ontario. No Word for Art features Indigenous beadworks as creative expressions of survival\, crafted by historical artists. The exhibition also includes contemporary beadworks that reflect traditional beading techniques and imagery. \n“Honouring our traditions is my voice within and beyond my culture and community. Traditionally\, there is no word for ‘art’ in Native languages\, yet artistry and visual expression are critical in defining who we are as First Nations people. It is this path I wish to exemplify through my teachings and my work.”\n— Naomi Smith

SUMMARY:Touching Sound: A tactile art installation created by Olivia Brouwer
DESCRIPTION:Touching Sound is a three-dimensional collage created by individuals with sight loss\, following a sensory-led nature walk and workshop at the Guelph Arboretum in late-June 2023. The six participants were asked to rely on their senses of touch\, smell\, and hearing to navigate their walk\, and to record their feelings\, memories\, and associations through a “deep listening” practice grounded in the environment. The walk informed what was created in the workshop\, which consisted of mixed media\, abstract\, mobile sculptures. . Audio recordings made by the participants can be found near their sculpture as touch-activated buttons. \nTouching Sound is supported by the Canadian National Institute for the Blind and funded by the Ontario Arts Council. \nMeet the artists: \nOlivia Brouwer is a partially blind artist based in Cambridge\, Ontario. Olivia creates mixed media paintings\, prints\, sculptures\, and sound art of abstract interpretations of our natural surroundings while inviting both sighted and non-sighted audiences to interact and perceive using the senses of touch and hearing. \nDawn Matheson is an interdisciplinary artist from Guelph\, Ontario\, with a social practice\, co-creating within diverse populations living with difference or disability\, using the medium of video\, installation\, and sound. Dawn hopes to interrupt civic and social spaces with unexpected moments of beauty\, curiosity\, and joy. \n \n

SUMMARY:Fourth Friday: Melanatté and Rhapsodius
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Craig – aka Rhapsodius – a true Renaissance man in the arts\, brings two exciting new initiatives to this very special Fourth Friday. \nThe evening will begin with a performance of Melanatté\, a hybrid of Classical/Opera and African music featuring soprano Denise Williams. Following a short intermission\, Rhapsodius will take the stage with a new body of work. \nWeather-permitting\, these performances will take place under the stars on the patio at the Civic Museum. Otherwise\, they will move indoors. \nPlease note these performances will not be livestreamed. \nOn the Fourth Fridays of each month\, admission is free to the Civic Museum from 5 pm to 9 pm\, with free concerts beginning at 7 pm. \nSeating is limited. You can save your spots on Eventbrite. \nAbout the Artists\n“Melanin”: a naturally-occurring pigment that is often one of the defining characteristics of\nBlackness. “Latté”: a creamy beverage\, born out of European culture\, that is both strong and\nsweet\, and that elicits deep pleasure when consumed. Thus\, Melanatté is the hybrid name\ngiven to this musical project that combines some of the most famous vocal melodies from the\nWestern European Art Music tradition with the harmonies and rhythms of the African Diaspora.\nMelanatté takes the undisputed “hits” from the Classical and Romantic music canon and places\nthem in a modern Black context\, making them accessible to multiple generations of music\nlovers\, right across the spectrum. Melanatté is the brainchild of Canadian artistic polymath\nRhapsodius\, who has produced tributes to Quincy Jones and Oscar Peterson\, and performed\nfor Nelson Mandela – twice. Rhapsodius creates the musical magic carpet upon which\nacclaimed Canadian soprano Denise Williams truly soars. Williams\, a 30-year veteran of the\nconcert\, opera\, and theatre stage\, has electrified audiences from Canada to Cuba\, and many\npoints in between. Moving effortlessly between vocal styles\, Denise Williams offers powerfully\nauthentic renditions of the most beloved songs – all in a fresh\, sometimes striking new musical\ncontext that will have audiences clamouring for more.\nMelanatté is creamy\, caffeinated\, Canadian Classical Contemporary Crossover – not Soul Food\,\nbut Soul Beverage. Sip – and enjoy! \nRhapsodius – literally\, “made of rhapsody” – is a confluence of things. Singer\,\nmulti-instrumentalist\, composer\, arranger\, director\, producer\, playwright\, educator\, activist – all\nthese rivers\, and more\, flow one into the other to create this artist whose boundary-crossing\nwork defies convention. Artists aren’t supposed to do all of these things – and yet\, Rhapsodius\nmoves between disciplines and styles with ease. Rhapsodius has worked with a who’s who of\nartists in music\, theatre\, dance\, and film\, both in Canada and abroad. He has directed\nhigh-profile tributes to icons Quincy Jones and Oscar Peterson\, opened for Bobby McFerrin\,\nand performed for Nelson Mandela – twice.\nDeeply and equally schooled in the Western European Art music tradition and the music of the\nAfrican Diaspora\, and unwaveringly dedicated to groove\, Rhapsodius brings new sounds into\nthe space – sounds that are everything you know and nothing you recognize\, all at once.\nRhapsodius makes it his mission to create music that makes you lose yourself in the sounds\,\nand yet savour the process of finding yourself again

SUMMARY:Backyard Theatre: Ridge
DESCRIPTION:Ridge\nWritten by Brendan McLeod\nDirected by Julia Course\nMusic by Brendan McLeod & Adrian Glynn\nBackyard Theatre returns to McCrae House this summer with a solo version of RIDGE. \nOften called “the battle that made Canada\,” Vimy Ridge resulted in over 10\,000 Canadian casualties. \nIn RIDGE\, Brendan McLeod examines misconceptions and varying perspectives around the battle of Vimy Ridge\, while drawing parallels to other formative events in our nation’s past. Featuring innovative musical interpretations of First World War soldier songs (often referred to as ‘Trench Songs’)\, RIDGE probes difficult yet necessary questions about how and why we grieve. Trench songs were written by frontline soldiers during the First World War. Essentially protest songs\, they were often parodies of well-known tunes. To accompany the storytelling and thought-provoking narrative\, McLeod also performs a selection of these songs on multiple instruments. The result is a poignant and stripped-back collection of work that emphasizes the emotional content of the lyrics and continues the long tradition of folk music reshaping songs over time — the same way soldiers reshaped these songs in the trenches. \nA vivid\, kinetic ride through history\, as well as an intimate\, personal examination of our connection to the past\, RIDGE is a visceral work that passionately argues against the exploitation of young lives. \nGet your tickets on Eventbrite! \nAbout the Artists\nBrendan McLeod\nMcLeod is the author of a novel\, a poetry collection\, and six theatre shows. His band\, The Fugitives\, has been nominated for a JUNO\, as well as six Canadian Folk Music Awards. He is a two-time literary finalist for the KM Hunter Awards. \nJulia Course\nCourse is a veteran theatre actor with over 15 years of professional theatre acting experience\, primarily at the Shaw Festival\, as well as a history of creating and producing independent theatre productions with the group Theatre Animal. Her next directorial project is next year’s OVER THE RIDGE\, which combines the text from RIDGE with contemporary dance. \nAbout the Show\nThe Text\nThough not exhaustive\, the main sources for this work are: Vimy\, Pierre Berton; Victory at Vimy\, Ted Barris; The Vimy Trap\, Ian McKay and Jamie Swift; Vimy Ridge: A Canadian Reassessment\, edited by Michael Bechtold\, Geoffrey Hayes\, Andrew Iarocci; Into the Blizzard\, Michael Winter; Trench Warfare\, Sue Bradford Edwards; Vimy: The Battle and The Legend\, Tim Cook; Liberalism\, Surveillance\, and Resistance: Indigenous Communities in Western Canada\, 1877-1927\, Keith Douglas Smith. \nThe Songs\nAll songs are First World War-era songs\, predominantly written by soldiers. In most cases\, these were parodies\, which used the melodies of well-known songs at the time\, the lyrics rewritten to reflect the soldiers’ circumstances. McLeod has rewritten the melodies and arrangements\, both to more readily access the emotions of the lyrics\, but also to continue folk music’s long tradition of reshaping songs over time\, the same way soldiers reshaped these songs in the trenches. \nThe Readings\nThe readings are verbatim soldier accounts from the First World War\, as well as historical accounts taken from the texts listed above. \nPRESS\n“Poignant and sobering” \n— The Globe and Mail (Top 10 Arts Pick\, 2020) \n“Serves to give the sacrifices of those who served and died a human dimension beyond mythology.” \n— Vancouver Sun \n“Riveting…The way history was meant to be told.” \n— Entertainment Vancouver \nhttp://guelphmuseums.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Brenand-McLedo-Video-Greeting-1.mp4
