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

SUMMARY:Spotlight Series: Marjan Kaviani
DESCRIPTION:The Spotlight Series centres the work of contemporary artists in dialogue with past and present-day lived experiences in the place we call Guelph. Recognizing that the month of November invites reflections of remembrance\, the Spotlight Series broadens understandings of war through the lens of two contemporary conflicts\, in Ukraine and Iran. \nThis instillation features the work of Iranian Canadian artist Marjan Kaviani whose art will be on view at the Guelph Civic Museum until March 3\, 2024. \nArtist Statement\n“My parents lived under the Iranian regime before coming to Canada. Growing up\, I saw that the revolution in Iran left a psychological imprint on my family. I speak to\, and retell\, that experience in my art. I imagine the figures in my work as casualties of the Iranian regime. I have firsthand experience with their rage and trauma. \nIn my paintings\, I create a psychological tableau of the people around me. I reveal their humanity\, suffering\, sadness\, and absurdity. The distorted figures lack connection to their spirituality. Through my art\, I ask the victims of the Iranian revolution to question their pervasive malaise (depression). \nAs an expressionistic painter\, I share the emotional impact of my own experiences. My colour palette and the distortions of my figures are used to exaggerate and intensify my creative expression. I use layers of wet and dry oil paint to create a surreal atmosphere.” \nArtist Biography\nMarjan Kaviani is an Iranian Canadian artist\, based in Guelph. Kaviani graduated from Claude Watson Secondary Arts before undertaking an undergraduate degree at the University of Guelph\, where she majors in Studio Art and minors in Psychology. \nIn 2022\, Kaviani won the Jane Graham Memorial Award (Guelph Arts Council). In 2023\, she placed 3rd at the University of Guelph’s annual Juried Art Show. She has had solo exhibitions at Homer Watson House and Gallery in Kitchener and at Boarding House Arts in Guelph. \nHighlighted Iranian Communities in Guelph\nGuelph Iranian Student Association \n\n\n\n	The Conjuring of Arak\, 2023\, oil on linen \n\n\n	The Drag of Lily Pads\, 2023\, Oil on canvas \n\n\n	The Glimmer of Hope\, 2023\, oil on canvas \n\n\n	The Cry\, 2022\, oil on linen \n\n\n	Whispers of Zoroaster\, 2023\, oil on canvas \n\n\n	Caste of Arbadil\, 2023\, Oil on canvas \n\n\n	Ishafan\, 2023\, Oil on canvas \n\n\n	The Dehydration of Anahita\, 2023\, oil on canvas \n\n\n	Father's Abandoned Home\, 2023\, oil on canvas \n\n\n	Somewhere Far Away\, 2023\, oil on canvas \n\n\n	Is This Home\, 2023\, oil on canvas \n\n\n	The Edge of Ramsar\, 2023\, oil on canvas

SUMMARY:Spotlight Series: Taras Lachowsky
DESCRIPTION:The Spotlight Series centres the work of contemporary artists in dialogue with past and present-day lived experiences in the place we call Guelph. Recognizing that the month of November invites reflections of remembrance\, the Spotlight Series broadens understandings of war through the lens of two contemporary conflicts\, in Ukraine and Iran. \nThis installation  by Ukrainian Canadian artist Taras Lachowsky is on view at the Guelph Civic Museum until March 3\, 2024. \nArtist Statement\n“There is war in Ukraine — no one was expecting it\, except the people of Ukraine. The war started with Russia’s annexation of Crimea. Ukranians have been expecting\, dreading\, and praying that war would not happen. \nTaras Shechenko (my namesake and Ukraine’s poet laureate) spoke of destroying a nation by destroying its culture. Unimaginable atrocities have taken place. Cultural landmarks and monuments have been destroyed. \nI am Ukrainian Canadian and I am experiencing this war on a very personal level\, as part of the Ukrainian diaspora. I feel helpless\, stunned\, and numb. \nIn my way\, I am trying to record and understand something that my parents also lived through. Must Ukrainians of every generation know war? \nIn my Guelph studio\, I make art to balance the destruction\, pain\, and horror that I have seen from my safe harbour. Peace and democracy must win.” \nArtist Biography\nTaras Palijh Lachowsky is an Ukrainian Canadian artist\, based in Guelph. He explores the histories of Ukrainian culture\, past\, present\, and future. His parents emigrated from Ukraine\, through Germany to France and finally to Canada in 1950. Born in Sudbury in 1964\, he is the youngest of 10 children. \nLachowsky studied textile and surface design at Sheridan College\, then earned a B.A. in Fine Art at the University of Guelph. His recent exhibitions focus on the symbols\, patterns\, and colours in the Ukrainian cut-paper techniques of Vytynanky\, Vishytchy\, and Pysanky. \nHighlighted Ukrainian Communities in Guelph\nSaving Ukrainian Cultural College\nUkrainian Church Guelph Community  \n\n\n\n	Drevo (Tree) 2023 \n\n\n	The Montanka Project 2023 1 \n\n\n	Which Way Does The Blood Flow in Bucha 2022 \n\n\n	The Montanka Project 2023  \n\n\n	First Day February 2022 \n\n\n\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Reading Between The Rows: In Conversation with Our Waters
DESCRIPTION:Teioháte Kaswenta\, or Two Row Wampum\, was made between the Five Nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and early settler-colonial states (1613\, 1664). It symbolized ‘Two Peoples’ – settler and Indigenous – who were to sail down the ‘river of life’ in two separate-but-equal rows. But settlers and Indigenous peoples alike have often straddled boats\, for good or for ill. \nAs we shape our personal and shared journeys\, we must remember that we cannot have Reconciliation without Truth and that we must consider our past and imagine our future at the same time. The exhibition Unsettling the Grand looks at the Grand River as a physical metaphor for the Two Row Wampum. \nJoin us for an evening of conversation with ‘Our Rivers\,’ as told through the perspectives of scholars\, artists\, and community members from both settler-colonial and Indigenous walks-of-life and ways-of-knowing. We ask: How have our rivers changed over time and how have they remained the same? How have both settler and Indigenous communities been changed by the river and how have we changed the river itself? \nFeaturing guest speakers Ellie Joseph & Jay Bailey\, Two Row on the Grand\, and Jeremy Shute\, Speed to Sea\, followed by an exhibition tour with Robert Flewelling\, guest curator\, Unsettling the Grand: Legacies of Settlement in the Grand River Valley\, from 1700 to the Present Day (on view at the Guelph Civic Museum until February 4\, 2024). \nReception to follow the presentations – refreshments will be served. \nPreregistration on Eventbrite is required. \nImage Credit: Page detail from “Mapping the Two Row\,” an accordion notebook created by Daniel Rotsztain in 2018

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: From Wartime Refuge to Peaceful Hippie Haven: Generations of Youth on Grindstone Island
DESCRIPTION:Learn how a private island on Big Rideau Lake\, Ontario was presented\, experienced\, and embodied as a refuge for youth endangered by or alarmed by war. Between 1917 and 1963\, the island was the summer home of Admiral Charles Kingsmill and his family. During their tenure\, among many things\, they hosted British child evacuees during the Second World War. Afterwards\, for over a decade\, it was home to a Peace Education Institute and hosted programs attended by the children of peace and civil rights activists in which they considered non-violent solutions to Cold War tensions. Drawing on oral histories and archival documents\, the chapter compares youth’s experiences confronting real and imaginary experiences of war\, while living away from home in the Canadian wilderness. \nFrom Wartime Refuge to Hippie Haven: Generations of Youth on Grindstone Island is presented by Tarah Brookfield.  Preregistration is required to attend in-person. Tickets are available on Eventbrite.  The lecture will premiere 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. \nImage: Participants in the 1965 Grindstone Experiment gather on the island for a group photograph.\nNANCY POCOCK FONDS\, CLARA THOMAS ARCHIVES AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS\, YORK UNIVERSITY \nWatch The Recording:\n\nAbout Tarah Brookfield:\n \nTarah Brookfield is an Associate Professor at Wilfrid Laurier University in History and Youth and Children’s Studies.

As a beatboxer\, Auri will use the “drum kit in her mouth” to create an amazing variety of percussive sounds. There will also be an opportunity for audience participation! \nAbout Auri Fell:\nBased in Guelph\, 20 year old Auri Fell is a triple threat – a multi-instrumentalist who sings and beatboxes.
