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: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: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	Design by Ken Vickerson \n\n\n	Creative Writing by Kye Yeon-Son \n\n\n	Fashion & Textile by Fiona MacIntyre \n\n\n	Drawing and Painting by Brigitte Clavette \n\n\n	Non-Fiction by Myra Tulonen Smith \n\n\n	Gastronomy by Chantal Gilbert \n\n\n	Dance by Charles Funnel \n\n\n	Sculpture by Marie Anne Barkhouse \n\n\n	Film\, Television & Video by Mary McIntyre \n\n\n	Craft by Lois Betteridge \n\n\n	Music by Jackie Anderson \n\n\n	Photography by Anne Barros \n\n\n	Theatre by Anne-Sophie Vallee \n\n\n	Horticulture by Elizabeth Goluch \n\n\n	Architecture by Beth Alber

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
