SUMMARY:Into the Light: Eugenics and Education in Southern Ontario
DESCRIPTION:Content warning: The exhibition Into the Light: Eugenics and Education in Southern Ontario includes content that some visitors may find offensive and/or traumatizing. Guelph Museums aims to provide open spaces for the sharing and understanding of all histories and lived experiences. We ask that visitors help to create an atmosphere of mutual respect and sensitivity.\nInto the Light examines local histories and ongoing legacies of racial “betterment” thinking in Southern Ontario that de-humanized and disappeared those who did not fit the normative middle-class lives of white\, able-bodied settlers. \nIn the early to mid 20th century\, eugenics (race improvement through heredity) was taught in a number of universities throughout Southern Ontario\, including Macdonald Institute and the Ontario Agricultural College\, two of the three founding colleges that formed the University of Guelph. Educational institutions played a significant role in the eugenics movement by perpetuating destructive ideas that targeted Indigenous\, Black\, and other racialized populations\, poor\, and disabled people for segregation in institutions\, cultural assimilation and sterilization. \nWhile eugenics sought to eradicate those deemed as “unfit\,” this exhibition centres the voices of members of affected communities who continue to work to prevent institutional brutality\, oppose colonialism\, reject ableism\, and foster social justice. \nInto the Light is co-curated by Mona Stonefish\, Peter Park\, Dolleen Tisawii’ashii Manning\, Evadne Kelly\, Seika Boye and Sky Stonefish. This exhibition of artistic\, sensory\, and material expressions of memory aims to bring one of Guelph’s dark secrets\, as well as stories of survival\, out of the shadows and into the light. \nInto the Light: Eugenics and Education in Southern Ontario is co-presented by Guelph Museums\, Re•Vision: The Centre for Art and Social Justice\, Bodies in Translation: Activist Art\, Technology and Access to Life\, and Respecting Rights\, Arch Disability Law. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\nInto the Light Access Guide – Accessible PDF\nPublic events\, guided tours and further learning opportunities\nInto the Light Opening Reception – ASL Vlog Invitation\nFriday\, September 27\, 2019 – 6 p.m. – Free admission \nRemarks\, performances and reception.

Guelph Museums is proud to host this immersive exhibition\, which will feature educational ephemera in the Commons Research Centre\, and works by seven artists involved in the residency program: Marla Hlady; Gordon Monahan; Lindsay Fisher; Alison O’Daniel; Ellen Moffat; Lynx Sainte-Marie; and David Bobier. The seven artists in the exhibition self-identify as either abled or disabled and all have been affiliated with VibraFusionLab over the past 3-4 years. \nThe works specialize in the exploration of “vibrotactility” in technology\, investigating it as a creative medium\, with a capacity to combine visual\, audio and tactile elements into a highly emotional and sensorial art practice. Viewers can expect wearable devices\, and new approaches to art-making that champion the senses beyond vision and hearing\, to build new methods of communication and language.

SUMMARY:Every Child Matters
DESCRIPTION:Acknowledging the legacy of Canada’s Residential School system and its impact on Indigenous communities\, past\, present and future. \nWhat is Residential School? \nThe term “Residential School” refers to the education system that forced Indigenous children into mainstream “Canadian” ways of living. The practice removed Indigenous children from their families\, languages\, customs\, and traditional teachings. \nThere were 139 Indian residential schools funded and operated by the federal government. Opened in 1828 and located only 50 kilometres from Guelph\, the Mohawk Institute Residential School was the first and longest continually operated residential school in Canada. It closed in 1970\, after 142 years. \nThe Orange Shirt Story \nPhyllis Webstad (Stswecem’c Xgat’tem First Nation) started the Orange Shirt Society in 2013 based on her experience at the St. Joseph Mission Residential School in Williams Lake\, British Columbia. Phyllis grew up on Dog Creek Reservation with her grandmother. In 1973\, at six years old\, Phyllis was to attend the local residential school. Her grandmother purchased a beautiful orange shirt for her to wear on the first day. Phyllis was nervous and excited\, as she was not sure what to expect. Upon arriving to the St. Joseph Mission Residential School in her brand new orange shirt\, it was stripped from her body never to be returned. \n“The color orange has always reminded me of that and how my feelings didn’t matter\, how no one cared and how I felt like I was worth nothing. All of us little children were crying and no one cared.” \n– Phyllis Webstad \nThe Orange Shirt Society \nThe Orange Shirt Society witnesses and honours the healing journey of residential school survivors and their families. The society aims to create conversations about the residential school system\, among all Canadians. Their message is simple: Every Child Matters. \nOrange Shirt Day \nAnnually on September 30\, we wear orange shirts to commemorate the survivors of residential school.   It was the time of year when children were taken from their homes and sent to residential schools. Today\, we must talk about anti-racism and anti-bullying. Let’s come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come. \nFor more information visit: www.orangeshirtday.org \nPhyllis Webstad\, author of The Orange Shirt Story\, wears a 2019 Orange Shirt Day T-shirt\, designed by Vinita Rathod\, a grade twelve student from Richmond\, B.C.

SUMMARY:Guelph Circa 1999
DESCRIPTION:Like entering a time capsule\, visitors will discover Guelph of 20 years ago. Told through the stories of the people who spent time at The Bookshelf\, a cultural hub in this city since 1973. \nDowntown Guelph in the late 1990s was vibrant\, brimming with entrepreneurship\, and teeming with energy. Barb and Doug Minett were the owner-operators of The Bookshelf\, a cultural hub in downtown Guelph since 1973. They had the idea to capture Guelph’s unique social environment through a portrait series. Their concept was inspired by an exhibition they had seen in Toronto\, a salon-style installation of black-and-white portraits by German photographer August Sander (1876–1964). They commissioned Guelph photographer Dean Palmer. \nBarb\, Doug\, and Dean compiled a list of more than 100 downtown personalities\, local business owners\, and people who were shaping Guelph’s cultural community. They called the project The Greenroom Series\, after the dining space adjacent to the eBar\, where the portraits were exhibited. The title also alludes to the “green room” in theatre where performers can relax when they are not performing. The completed series featured 16 portraits of people photographed in their natural environments. \nFeaturing portraits of Andy the Barber\, Ian Findlay\, Jaqueline Gilbey\, Diego Hadarits\, Ajay Heble\, Tom King\, Grant Love\, Mark McAlpine\, Fred Mollison\, Harri Palm and Molly Kurvink\, Fredericka Potvin\, Ryan Price\, Joan Rentoul\, Tannis Slimmon\, Emma Smith\, and Jessica Steinhauser. \nThe Greenroom Series was donated to Guelph Museums’ permanent collection in 2018. This exhibition represents the series in its entirety\, encapsulating Guelph on the cusp of the new millennium. \n  \nRelated Events:\n \nHistory Bites: Guelph Circa 1999\nGuelph Museums curator Dawn Owen chats about Guelph Circa 1999 with special guests Ajay Heble\, Dean Palmer\, Ian Findlay\, Jessica Steinhauser\, and Mark McAlpine. Watch guests compete in a 90s trivia challenge\, as they reflect on the cultural life of Guelph in the 1990s.

SUMMARY:Lay of the Land
DESCRIPTION:You are here! This interactive exhibition will orient visitors in time and place through an installation of maps\, spanning time immemorial to present day. Lay of the Land invites all visitors to understand our complex relationship to the land\, past and present\, and to the place that we now call Guelph. \nCartography is the art\, science\, and technology of making maps\, plans\, charts\, and globes. The earliest surviving map\, drawn on a clay tablet found in the Middle East\, dates to 2300 BCE. The earlier known maps of Canada were created by European explorers\, seeking to find and secure trade routes to the Asian continent. Dated from about 1502 to 1506\, those maps depict the east coast of Newfoundland as an island in the North Atlantic. \nMapmaking was a well-developed practice among Indigenous peoples in what is now Canada. Indigenous navigational maps were drawn on impermanent materials\, accompanied by verbal descriptions and committed to memory. Lakes\, rivers\, and shorelines on most Indigenous maps differ from modern survey maps. Scale\, however\, was often measured by time (such as a day’s journey) and landmarks were accentuated to aid travellers. \n“Lay of the land” is a turn of phrase. It is a reference to the arrangement of features on the land\, as well as a metaphor for the current state of affairs. The exhibition\, Lay of the Land\, employs both meanings in recognition of our unique connections to places we call home. \nIndigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada\nThe exhibition features the Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada (IPAC) floor map. It is on loan from Kids Can Press\, Canadian Geographic and the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS). \nThe IPAC floor map is a resource that can assist our understanding of the past\, present and future of Indigenous Peoples in Canada. It represents a diversity of stories and voices. The RCGS worked with Indigenous and ally educators and with organizations across Canada to create the map. \nVisit Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada for more information about the map and for learning activities. \n \n                 \n \n  \nRelated Events:\n \nHistory Bites: Lay of the Land\nWednesday\, February 17\, 12 p.m. \nFacebook Live \nGuelph Museums curator Dawn Owen will be chatting about current exhibit\, Lay of the Land. The exhibition orients visitors in time and place through an installation of maps\, spanning time immemorial to present day. Lay of the Land invites all visitors to understand our complex relationship to the land\, past and present\, and to the place that we now call Guelph.
