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:Folklore: Being and Belonging in the Grand River Region\, before and after 1827
DESCRIPTION:Folkloric practices – beliefs and customs passed through generations\, often by oral traditions – have been shared through stories and storytellers in this place\, long before it was known as Guelph. \nAt the turn of the 19th century\, the Grand River region comprised both Indigenous and settler communities\, including the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Six Nations Confederacy (Seneca\, Cayuga\, Onondaga\, Oneida\, Mohawk\, and Tuscarora)\, as well as Black Loyalists (both free and enslaved peoples who sought refuge in Canada after the American Revolution) and Scottish colonists\, among other European settlers. \nExploring relationships with land\, water\, and weather; food\, plants\, and medicine; language\, stories\, and teaching; music and dance; crafting and creating; and societal roles and community gathering\, this exhibition examines communication and conflict among local cultural\, geographic\, and spiritual communities\, before and after 1827. \nThrough stories\, belongings\, and creative expressions of the past\, we witness the evolution of everyday life in the place we now call Guelph\, and draw connections to present-day lived experiences. Then\, as today\, folkloric practices contribute to culture\, community\, being\, and belonging. \nCover image: Berry Picking on River Road (Six Nations Public Library SNPL000359v00i) \nSophia Lawson Mallotte and Myrtle Mallotte (Guelph Museums 1998.33.12) \nJohn and Irvine Laidlaw (Guelph Museums 1972.20.47) \n

SUMMARY:Alchemy Embroidery – Collaboratively Altering Paper with Needle and Thread
DESCRIPTION:The history of a society or an individual can be told through textiles\, and these narratives may not be present in other historical records. The only trace of a life lived may be found on an embroidered piece of cloth.  Embroidery has enormous cultural significances being valued as an expressive medium in many cultures and becoming a storehouse of art and the emotions and history that can be associated with it. \nIn this workshop you will be introduced to embroidery stitches that will be applied to paper which can be delicate\, fragile\, easily torn\, pierced and mended. \nOver 3 hours which will start with demonstrations and practice\, we will work together and restore a purposely damaged print\, bringing shards of paper and ink together to create a collaborative new version of a work of art on paper. \nThis workshop is part of a series that will connect community to chat and share creative time using needle\, thread and paper as the catalysts and leading to an all participants event during the 2024 Culture Days in September to exhibit and present our restored works of art. \nEveryone is welcomed to join in\, no matter what your level of stitching might be. \nThe workshop costs just $10.00 which covers a generous kit of supplies you keep. Preregistration is required. Tickets are available on Eventbrite. \nAbout The Instructor\nMary Kroetsch’s practice is research-creational integrating mixed methods of making to push and explore the problems arising from limitations and disconnects that happen when many layers impact surfaces\, production\, and fabrication. \nShe obtained Certification in Textile Surface Design from the Haliburton School of the Arts\, studied Visual Arts Foundations at Central Tech Art School\, Toronto\, and completed the Ontario Arts Council’s Artist-Educator Foundations Course. \nShe completed her Studio Arts Degree with the University of Guelph\, Ontario in 2023. \nHer work has recently been part of exhibitions at the Elora Centre for the Arts (Elora\, Ontario) the Propeller Art Gallery\, (Toronto\, Ontario)\, the Boarding House Gallery\, (Guelph\, Ontario)\, and the 2020 Ateliers Kitchen Print Biennial\, (Charmes\, France). \nMary’s works are part of private and public collections including St. Michael’s Hospital\, (Toronto\, Ontario)\, the Ilkley Museum\, (Yorkshire\, England) and the CAMAC Centre for Art and Technology\, (Marnay\, France).
