SUMMARY:Memory Cycle: Re-Sonified Artifacts
DESCRIPTION:Memory Cycle: Re-Sonified Artifacts is a collaboration between Guelph Civic Museum and musician Gordon Monahan. This exhibition is a foray into the parlour rooms of Victorian Guelph and an experiment with Victorian-era piano recordings. \nWorking with the museum\, Monahan selected 19th-century artifacts from the permanent collection. Using furniture\, farm equipment\, and keyboard instruments\, Monahan experiments with period sound by transmitting vibrations through the artifacts. \nVisitors to the exhibition hear sounds once emitted by the instruments on display. In a process called sonification (and re-sonification)\, Monahan works with the principle that vibration is perceived by the human ear as sound. The artifacts become sounding objects — transmitters of recorded sound — as well as sound sculptures. \nThe sound installation in the midst of a Victorian-era parlour room offers a ghostly rendition of music that once vibrated through the displayed artifacts. Like memory\, the circulation (and re-circulation) of sound calls forth the music and history of times past. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Installation View\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Sound Transducer on Victorian Crib\n				\n		\n\n \nHear a conversation about Memory Cycle with Guelph Museums’ Curator Dawn Owen\, Jesse Stewart\, and artist Gordon Monahan: \n\nMemory Cycle was researched\, developed and presented by Gordon Monahan with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.

SUMMARY:Rapid Response: Collecting Experiences as they are Lived
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic is a major moment in history. On March 11\, 2020 the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. On March 17\, Ontario declared a state of emergency\, prompting citywide closures and social distancing protocols. In April 2020\, the Museum\, while closed to visitors\, launched a call to community for contemporary objects and personal expressions reflecting our individual and collective experiences. \nOn May 25\, 2020\, the death of George Floyd in the US spurred the Black Lives Matter movement to international urgency. Locally\, the Guelph Black Heritage Society organized a peaceful protest and march through downtown Guelph. On June 6\, 2020\, over 5\,000 people gathered to raise awareness of lives lost in violence. \nGuelph Museums and the Guelph Black Heritage Society partnered in the commitment to preserve the stories and experiences of Guelph individuals\, families\, and communities as we face these crises together. \nThis exhibition shares some of the hundreds of images\, creative expressions\, and physical objects that have been collected at Guelph Museums since April 2020 to document the local story of this historic time\, as we live it. \n\n\nThis artwork by Emily Vander Vlugt depicts a crowd of protestors led by Kween\, Executive Director of the Guelph Black Heritage Society. Kween made this audio recording in response to Emily’s artwork.\nThe art work and audio\, jointly titled No Justice\, No Peace\, are featured in the exhibition Rapid Response: Collecting Experiences as they are Lived at Guelph Museums\, from July 27\, 2021 to February 27\, 2022.\n\nHear a conversation with donors to the exhibition: \n\nPresented in partnership with:

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:Between the Crosses\, Row on Row: 100 Years of the Remembrance Poppy
DESCRIPTION:During the First World War\, the horrors of trench warfare\, poison gas and tanks wrought carnage never before seen. About 9 million military personnel and 20 million civilians lost their lives in The Great War. \nThe devastation of war created fertile ground for the Papaver rhoeas to take seed and grow. Poppy seeds can remain dormant in the soil for as long as 100 years. Trench digging\, bombs\, and mass cemeteries caused millions of poppies to bloom in the disrupted soil across Europe. The common poppy would become the symbol of wartime sacrifice and remembrance. \nBeginning with Guelph-born Lt. Col. John McCrae’s 1915 poem “In Flanders Fields”\, this exhibition tells the story of the poppy as it evolved to be an enduring symbol of remembrance in Canada and around the world. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				The Poppy\, Decoration Day 1921\, Canadian War Museum 19720228-001\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Cover of Guelph Horticultural Society Annual\, Flowering Shrub\, Hedge and Vine Issue\, 1972\nGuelph Museums 1987.44.14\n				\n		\n\nBanner Image: https://www.discoveringbelgium.com/the-poppies-of-flanders/\n

SUMMARY:Guelph Girls Hockey Association at 25 Years
DESCRIPTION:Image: 2010 GGHA Bantam BB Provincial Champions salute their families and friends after 1-0 win in overtime (vs Waterloo Ravens). April 2010. Photo credit: Sandra Pitts \nGuelph’s history in organized ice sport includes hockey\, ringette\, curling\, speed skating\, and figure skating. Guelph Museums’ collection shares the stories of many Guelph athletes who have competed at provincial\, national\, and international levels and reflects the enduring interest in recreational ice sport. \nMen’s hockey dates to 1908 – from the Guelph Royals\, the Guelph Holody Platers\, and the Guelph Biltmore Mad Hatters to the Guelph CMC (Central Mechanical Contractors)\, the Guelph Beef Kings\, and the present-day Guelph Storm. \nBut the story of women’s hockey in Guelph has yet to be told – until now. \nThe exhibition Guelph Girls Hockey Association at 25 Years traces the history of the Guelph Girls Hockey Association. Since 1996\, GGHA has offered recreational and competitive hockey for female players\, centred in physical fitness\, self-esteem\, and confidence building\, and on the development of volunteers and community leaders. \nGuelph has become a well-respected centre in Ontario for the development of female hockey players. With just 75 participants in the first season\, GGHA now includes 450 players across seventeen house league teams and eleven travel teams in five divisions (ages 5 to 20 plus)\, under the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association. \nFrom 1996 to 2013\, the GGHA travel teams were known as the Guelph Thunder. In 2013\, GGHA entered into a partnership with the University of Guelph. Now known as the Guelph Jr. Gryphons\, they are champions\, medalists\, and leaders in women’s hockey across the province. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				GGHA Bantam A forward Amelia Edmunds flying past a defender during the St. Catharines tournament.

SUMMARY:Mind the Gap - Intergenerational Connectivity between Seniors and Youth
DESCRIPTION:Image: Zoom Call Screen Capture of Wren & Suad drawing each other’s hands\, 2021 \nOrganized by Centre[3] for Artistic & Social Practice (Hamilton\, ON) and presented at Guelph Civic Museum\, Mind the Gap is an exhibition of artworks created by a community of seniors and youths working with practicing artists in Hamilton and Guelph. Through co-creative artmaking\, the project aimed to decrease isolation among the participants and to bridge their generational gap. \nCentred in collaborative storytelling\, multimedia installation\, and experimental portraiture\, artists Becky Katz and Chyler Sewell in Hamilton and Dawn Matheson in Guelph were each joined by three seniors and three youths\, paired together: Joanne and Janeil\, Suad and Wren\, and Judith and Subomi. \nThe co-creative elements of the project were originally meant to take place in person. Due to the pandemic and required safety measures\, Mind the Gap developed in the virtual realm. The community participants took part in the program digitally. The artists fostered an inviting space that encouraged creativity\, trust\, intimacy\, experimentation\, compassion\, humour\, vulnerability\, and genuine connection. The artists and participants bonded with one another despite their physical distance. \nThe seniors and youths met as strangers at the start of the project. Through virtual workshops\, they learned to be attentive to each other’s needs and to engage with curiosity\, empathy\, and affection. They developed and applied new creative skills\, shared knowledge and interests\, practiced active listening\, and reflected on their own and each other’s identity\, culture\, and belonging. \nThe artworks\, co-created by the senior and youth pairs\, are on view in the Mind the Gap exhibition. Through their art\, visitors to the exhibition will discover how strangers became friends\, barriers became opportunities\, and digital meetings became physical artworks. \n\n\n\n	"Cat Moms" collaborative mixed media by Janeil\, Joanne\, and Becky\, 2021  \n\n\n	Multimedia 'Zoom Dissolve Still 1' by Dawn Matheson\, 2021 \n\n\n	Multimedia 'Zoom Dissolve Still 2' by Dawn Matheson\, 2021 \n\n\n	Multimedia 'Zoom Dissolve Still 3' by Dawn Matheson\, 2021 \n\n\n	Digital Photograph of Judith\, Subomi\, and Becky by Dawn Matheson\, 2021 \n\n\n\n\n  \nMind the Gap: Intergenerational Connectivity between Seniors and Youth was funded by the Ontario Arts Council. This project was made possible by Alex Jacobs Blum\, Ron Siu\, Alex Borghesan\, Colina Maxwell\, and Arturo Jimenez of Centre[3]\, by lead artists Dawn Matheson\, Becky Katz\, and Chyler Sewell\, and by community participants Joanne and Janeil\, Suad and Wren\, and Judith and Subomi. \nWatch History Bites: Mind the Gap\, a conversation with the artists and facilitators behind the project: \n\n\n

Source: opentextbc.ca\, Canadian History: Post-Confederation by John Douglas Belshaw \nMilitary Lecture: Atomic Soldiers – The Canadian Armed Services and Radiation Exposure during the Cold War is presented by Dr. Matthew Wiseman. \nDuring the early Cold War period\, the United States and the United Kingdom conducted various nuclear weapons trials with live radiation\, but little is known of Canada’s participation. In this talk\, Dr. Matthew Wiseman will discuss the history of No. 1 Radiation Detection Unit (RDU)\, a special tri-service unit established in 1950 to assess radiological hazards for the Canadian military. \nOperational between 1950 and 1959\, RDU personnel participated in live trials and assessed nuclear toxicity at blast sites in the United States and Australia.  Recently opened records suggest that senior officials in the Canadian Army exposed unit personnel to hazardous conditions during trials\, resulting in direct exposures to dangerously high radiation levels. Dr. Wiseman will explore and discuss the military and ethical considerations of using soldiers during live nuclear weapons trials\, as well as the continuing impact on the participating soldiers and their families. \n\nAbout Matthew Wiseman:\n \nDr. Matthew Wiseman is a Banting Fellow in the Department of History at St. Jerome’s University in the University of Waterloo. His research focuses on the history of science and technology in modern Canada.
