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

SUMMARY:Unsettling The Grand: Legacies of Settlement in the Grand River Valley\, from 1700 to the Present Day
DESCRIPTION:What do John Galt and the Canada Company\, the Upper and Lower Canadian Rebellions of 1837-38\, a canal-building enterprise\, and current (and future) land claims all have in common? \nUsing a Two-Eyed Seeing approach\, this exhibition examines the failed enterprise of the Grand River Navigation Company (1832-1861) as a lens through which we can explore historical and contemporary relationships between Indigenous and settler-colonial communities within and along the Grand River watershed. \nThe exhibition dives into the rich and varied historical tapestries of human settlement in the lands currently known as the Grand River Valley in Southern Ontario\, from 1700 to present day. \nIn addition to historical archives\, the display includes stories and creative expressions by Indigenous and settler artists who annually paddle the Grand River in symbolic renewal of the Two Row Wampum. \nCover images: Left: Mohawk Canal\, just east of the Alfred Street bridge in Brantford\, circa 1911 (earliest postmark for this card is September 2\, 1908) Right: Photo courtesy of Two Row on the Grand / http://www.tworowonthegrand.com/ \nUnsettling the Grand is guest curated by Robert Flewelling and funded in part by a grant from The Guelph Community Foundation—Musagetes Fund. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nLeft: Map of Grand River\, 1821(Ridout)Right: Plan of theGrand River & Location of 6 Nations of Indians\, 1828 (Lugger)

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: Battle for Hill 70 with Matthew Barrett
DESCRIPTION:On 15 August 1917\, the Canadian Corps for the first time under the command of General Arthur Currie captured the German strongpoint at Hill 70 near Lens\, France. Through Their Eyes: A Graphic History of Hill 70 and Canada’s First World War\, illustrated by Matthew Barrett and co-written with Robert Engen\, depicts this remarkable but costly victory in a unique way. With comic book-style artwork\, the book invites readers to reimagine the First World War through the eyes of the Canadian soldiers who lived it and to think more deeply about how we visualize and narrate the past. By provoking questions about historical accuracy\, truth\, and meaning\, this work focuses on a specific battle of the First World War while also considering the ways history is researched\, shared\, and represented. Combining image and text not only invites readers to consider different ways to interpret history\, it also importantly helps us understand our own role in connecting\, constructing\, and imagining the stories of the past. \nWatch The Recording\n\nAbout Matthew Barrett\n \nMatthew Barrett has a History PhD from Queen’s University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Canadian War Museum in 2021. He published two books in 2022: Scandalous Conduct: Canadian Officer Courts Martial\, 1914–45 and Through Their Eyes: A Graphic History of Hill 70 and Canada’s First World War. He is currently managing editor for the journal Canadian Military History. \nMilitary Lectures are offered in partnership with the Laurier Centre for Military\, Strategic and Disarmament Studies.

SUMMARY:Light A Candle To Curse The Dark
DESCRIPTION:Amid the pomp and plump of Canada’s sesquicentennial\, fifteen metalsmiths from across the country marked the occasion by crafting new sculptures from melted-down post-Confederation silver. Each piece is an expression of form and function – art object and candleholder – that\, together\, nod to the past and offer a glimpse of the future. \nThe original silver came from two Canadian families\, who had used it over five generations but increasingly less often. They recognized that their tea and coffee sets\, serving dishes\, and cutlery had greater material value to the artists. They imagined something beautiful could be made from the old metal. \nThe metalsmiths transformed the silver into candleholders\, each inspired by the accomplishments of Canadian women in the arts. Known as the “Illuminations” series\, each piece includes a recognizable element from the source silver. \nAt Guelph Civic Museum\, the candleholders are displayed within an exhibition that considers the local Victorian-era\, when the fledgling colony aspired to silver service status. The exhibition looks frankly and truthfully at the colonial period\, positioning “Illuminations” as its centre\, and drawing from the artifacts\, archives\, and images in the museum’s collection. \nFeatured artists: Beth Alber (Toronto)\, Jackie Anderson (Calgary)\, Mary Anne Barkhouse (Kwakiutl First Nation)\, Anne Barros (Toronto)\, Brigitte Clavette (New Brunswick)\, Lois Etherington Betteridge (Guelph)\, Fiona Macintyre (Merrickville)\, Charles Funnell (Coburg)\, Chantal Gilbert (Ville de Québec)\, Elizabeth Goluch (Halifax)\, Mary K. McIntyre (Toronto)\, Kye-Yeon Son (Halifax)\, Myra Tulonen Smith (Almonte)\, Anne-Sophie Vallée (Montreal)\, and Ken Vickerson (Toronto). \nThank you to Laura Brandon (retired curator\, Canadian War Museum) and Ann Malone-Bianconi (manager\, interior design and crown collection\, National Capital Commission) for loaning the “Illuminations” series to Guelph Museums. We also acknowledge key contributions from Keith Betteridge (photography)\, Rob Brandon\, and Anne Greenlay. \n\n\n\n	Craft by Lois Betteridge \n\n\n	Gastronomy by Chantal Gilbert \n\n\n	Design by Ken Vickerson \n\n\n	Dance by Charles Funnel \n\n\n	Architecture by Beth Alber \n\n\n	Creative Writing by Kye Yeon-Son \n\n\n	Sculpture by Marie Anne Barkhouse \n\n\n	Fashion & Textile by Fiona MacIntyre \n\n\n	Music by Jackie Anderson \n\n\n	Horticulture by Elizabeth Goluch \n\n\n	Non-Fiction by Myra Tulonen Smith \n\n\n	Photography by Anne Barros \n\n\n	Film\, Television & Video by Mary McIntyre \n\n\n	Drawing and Painting by Brigitte Clavette \n\n\n	Theatre by Anne-Sophie Vallee

SUMMARY:Film Screening: The Nature of Healing
DESCRIPTION:To acknowledge the histories and honour the lived experiences of residential school survivors on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation\, Guelph Museums and the Guelph Film Festival co-present a public screening of The Nature of Healing\, in collaboration with JamLab Productions. \nFollowing the screening\, we will welcome five Survivors whose stories are shared in the film: Elders John Elliott and Bud Whiteye and Grandmothers Dawn and Roberta Hill and Sherlene Bomberry. They will be joined by Faith Howe/JamLab Productions\, Kimber Sider/Guelph Film Festival\, and Dawn Owen/Guelph Museums for a post-screening dialogue. \nVisitors are encouraged to spend time\, before and after the film\, with the exhibitions: Where the Rivers Meet; No Word for Art: Exploring the Indigenous Roots of Creativity (curated by Naomi Smith\, Chippewas of Nawash); Unsettling The Grand: Legacies of Settlement in the Grand River Valley\, from 1700 to the Present Day; and Light A Candle To Curse The Dark on view at the Civic Museum. \nTickets are available on Eventbrite.  \nAbout the Film\nThe Nature of Healing is the spoken truth of seven Survivors of Mohawk Institute\, Canada’s first and longest running Indian residential school. From victim to survivor to activist\, this is a story of resistance\, resilience\, and a healing path. \nWhat began as a simple conversation about the Mohawk Village Memorial Park\, which the Survivors have been building for 10 years\, became a full feature documentary. When completed\, the Park will commemorate the 15\,000 children who were taken from more than 60 communities. They lost their families\, communities\, culture\, identity\, and\, for some\, their lives. \nThe 139 residential schools\, operated in partnership with the Canadian Government and Churches\, were Canada’s sanctioned system of dehumanization: neglect\, brutality\, and child abuse in all its forms\, in order to obliterate the Red Nation footprint. \nThe Elders\, Grandfathers\, and Grandmothers who speak out now do so not only for themselves\, but for the thousands of children across Turtle Island who never could. \nWatch the Trailer Now

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: Spirits\, Psychics\, & Divination: How the Great War Haunted the British Empire
DESCRIPTION:In the aftermath of the Great War\, people from across the British Isles and Dominion nations read prophecies about the coming new millennium\, experimented with seances\, and claimed to see the ghosts of their loved ones in dreams and in photographs. On the battlefields\, soldiers had premonitions and attributed their survival to angelic\, psychic\, or spiritual forces. These experiences contrast sharply with the legacy of the Great War and modernity in general as a disenchanting experience. What were ghosts and psychics doing amidst a war involving tanks\, airplanes\, submarines\, chemical weapons\, and machine guns? This talk narrates compelling and previously undocumented abnormal experiences to challenge popular myths about the Great War. Between 1914 and 1939 an array of ghosts haunted the British Empire. \nSpirts\, Psychics\, & Divination: How the Great War Haunted the British Empire is presented by Kyle Falcon. The lecture will premier both in-person at the Civic Museum\, and online via our Facebook livestream. The recorded conversation is available on Facebook\, YouTube\, and our Museum Everywhere Portal.  \nGuelph Museums’ Military Lecture series is presented in partnership with the Laurier Centre for the Study of Canada. \nWatch The Recording:\nDue to technical difficulties the October presentation at the Guelph Civic Museum was not able to be uploaded or displayed on the livestream. This recording is from the presentation Kyle Falcon gave at the Laurier Centre for the Study of Canada  \n\nAbout Kyle Falcon:\nKyle Falcon is a historian of the British Empire whose research focuses on the role of spiritualism and psychical research during the era of the Great War. He received his MA at Nipissing University and his PhD from Wilfrid Laurier University. His book\, Haunted Britain: Spiritualism\, Psychical Research and the Great War was released by Manchester University Press in July 2023.
