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:Weaving Cultural Identities: Celebrating Heritage and Textile Traditions
DESCRIPTION:This Vancouver Biennale nationally-touring exhibition brings together artists and graphic designers of diverse Indigenous and Muslim backgrounds to collaborate on a series of textile artworks that celebrate the sacred\, historic\, and creative significance of prayer rugs and weaving traditions. \nThe project began with a series of questions: \nIn a contemporary society of mixed cultures and values\, how do we begin to navigate heritage and diverse beliefs? How do we share sacred space?\nHow do we come together to understand each other’s experiences?\nWhat can we learn about ourselves from our inherited histories?\nWhat can we learn from each other? \nIn the co-creation of the exhibition\, the artists developed a platform and process for community dialogue centred in discussions of belonging\, forced displacement\, diaspora\, assimilation\, and relationship to the land. The resulting series of prayer rugs became a spiritual conduit from past to present and between peoples and places\, both near and far. \nThrough the integrated motifs and design elements\, this exhibition will inspire visitors to explore their own cultural identities\, while honouring ancestral legacies and celebrating inter-cultural connections. \nWeaving Cultural Identities: Celebrating Heritage and Textile Traditions was curated by Zarina Laalo and commissioned as part of the 2018-2021 Vancouver Biennale\, with touring support from the Canada Council for the Arts and the British Columbia Arts Council. \nGuelph Museums’ presentation is funded in part by the Government of Canada\, through the Museums Assistance Program – Exhibition Circulation Fund. \nTisser les identités culturelles : saluer la diversité et les traditions textiles\nCette exposition nationale itinérante réunit une variété d’ artistes et graphistes autochtones et musulman.es afin de collaborer sur une série d’œuvres d’art en tissu qui fête l’importance sacrée\, historique et créative des tapis de prière et des traditions des arts tissés. \nLe projet a commencé par une série de questions : \nDans une société contemporaine qui mélange des cultures et des valeurs\, comment peut-on commencer à négocier nos héritages et croyances ?\nComment peut-on partager l’espace sacré ?\nComment peut-on venir ensemble afin de comprendre les expériences des un.es et des autres ?\nQu’est-ce que les personnes peuvent apprendre sur eux-même des histoires qu’elles ont héritées ?\nQu’est-ce qu’on peut apprendre les un.es des autres ? \nAu cours de la création conjointe de l’exposition\, les artistes ont établi une plateforme et un processus de dialogue communautaire centrés sur les discussions relatives à l’appartenance\, au déplacement forcé\, à la diaspora\, à l’assimilation et à la relation à la terre. \nLa série de tapis de prière qui en résulte est devenue une voie spirituelle entre le passé et le présent\, entre les peuples et les lieux\, qu’ils soient proches ou lointains. \nCette exposition\, qui intègre des motifs et des éléments de conception\, inspirera les visiteurs à explorer leur propre identité culturelle\, tout en honorant les héritages ancestraux et en célébrant les liens interculturels. \nTisser des identités culturelles : Saluer la diversité et les traditions textiles a été organisée par Zarina Laalo. L’exposition a été commandée pour la Biennale de Vancouver de 2018-2021\, avec le soutien du Conseil des Arts du Canada et du BC Arts Council pour la tournée \nLa présentation des Musées de Guelph est financée en partie par le gouvernement du Canada\, grâce au Fonds des expositions itinérantes — Programme d’aide aux musées. \n\n\n\n	Prayer Rug \n\n\n	Reflections \n\n\n	Skw’enmáylh – Prayer \n\n\n	Unbroken Prayer (Tellequah’s Message) \n\n\n	What Does Your Path Look Like? \n\n\n	Find What You Need \n\n\n	The Other Side \n\n\n	Dialogues of Spirit \n\n\n	Celebrating Knowledge and Belief: An Intercultural Dialogue \n\n\n	Whose Needle (Can) Will Re-stitch the Earth to the Sky \n\n\n\n\n \nImage Credits from Left to Right: \nTop Row: 1.

SUMMARY:Art as We Are: Creative Community Care
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Art Not Shame and Guelph Museums\, Art as We Are: Creative Community Care spotlights three projects centred in collective community-making through art and involving about 200 local creators: Art in Hard Times (2020)\, Art in a Just Recovery (2023)\, and Community Fabric (2024). The exhibition also shares the origin story of Art Not Shame\, a community-engaged\, multidisciplinary arts organization serving youth and adults in Guelph and across Ontario since 2017. \nIn 2020\, artist Melanie Schambach led a team of artists and social support workers in the creation of The Mural Project: Art in Hard Times. Collectively\, they aimed to amplify the voices of those who identified as: newcomers\, LGBTQ21+\, Black\, Indigenous\, people of colour\, street engaged\, adults with developmental exceptionalities\, and youth struggling with mental health and addictions. \nIn 2023\, Art Not Shame\, Guelph Neighbourhood Support Coalition\, and artist Melanie Schambach collaborated on Art in a Just Recovery: Reconnecting to Us\, a project that explored community care in pandemic recovery. Through a series of in-person and online art-making workshops\, participants were partnered with Art Buddies in creating artworks that came together in a large-scale mural. \nIn 2024\, Art Not Shame\, Guelph Neighbourhood Support Coalition\, and Guelph Museums collaborated on the Community Fabric project 一 a ten-week community-arts series in which participants worked together to create a community quilt\, build social connections\, and develop skills to support their mental health and wellbeing. The completed quilt will be unveiled in the exhibition Art as We Are: Creative Community Care\, which opened for public viewing on Saturday\, August 24.

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: The Good Allies: How Canada and the United States Fought Together to Defeat Fascism during the Second World War by Tim Cook
DESCRIPTION:Tim Cook\, Canada’s preeminent war historian\, introduces his new book\, “The Good Allies: How Canada and the United States Fought Together to Defeat Fascism during the Second World War.” \nDoors open at 1:00 pm and presentation starts at 2:00 pm\, followed by a question period. \nBooks will be available for purchase\, with a book signing following the presentation. \nThe Good Allies: How Canada and the United States Fought Together to Defeat Fascism during the Second World War is presented by Tim Cook. The lecture premiered 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.  Guelph Museums’ Military Lecture series is presented in partnership with the Laurier Centre for the Study of Canada. \nWatch The Recordings\n\n\nAbout the Book\nFrom our country’s most important war historian\, a gripping account of the turbulent relationship between Canada and the US during the Second World War. The two nations entered the war amidst rivalry and mutual suspicion\, but learned to fight together before emerging triumphant and bound by an alliance that has lasted to this day. \nWhen the Second World War broke out in 1939\, it set in motion a deadly struggle between the Axis powers and the Allies\, but also fraught negotiations between and among the Allies. On questions of diplomacy\, economic policy\, industrial might\, military capabilities\, and even national sovereignty\, thousands of lives and the fate of the free world depended on back-room deals and desperate trade-offs between soldiers\, diplomats\, and leaders. \nIn North America\, Canada and the US strained to forge a new military alliance to guard their coasts and fend off German U-boats and the menace of a Japanese invasion. Wartime economies were entwined to produce a staggering contribution of weapons to keep Britain and other allies in the war. The defence of North America against enemy threats was essential before the US and Canada could send armies\, navies\, and air forces overseas. \nIn his trademark style\, Tim Cook employs eyewitness accounts to vividly lay bare the brutality of combat and the courage of North Americans under fire. Behind the fighting fronts\, the charged and often secret communications between national leaders Churchill\, Roosevelt\, and King reveal how their personalities shaped the outcome of history’s most destructive war\, the fate of the British Empire\, and the North American alliance that lives on to this day. \nThe Good Allies is a masterful account of how Canadians and Americans made the transition from wary rivals to steadfast allies\, and how Canada thrived in the shadow of the military and global superpower. In exploring this complex and crucial dimension of the Second World War and its legacy\, Cook recounts two nations’ story of cooperation\, of sacrifice\, and of bleeding together to save the world from the fascist threat. \nAbout Tim Cook\n \nTIM COOK is Chief Historian and Director of Research at the Canadian War Museum. His bestselling books have won multiple awards\, including four Ottawa Book Awards for Literary Non-Fiction and two C.P. Stacey Awards for the best book in Canadian military history. In 2008 he won the J.W. Dafoe Prize for At the Sharp End and again in 2018 for Vimy: The Battle and the Legend. Shock Troops won the 2009 Charles Taylor Prize for Literary Non-Fiction. Cook is a frequent commentator in the media\, and a member of the Royal Society of Canada and the Order of Canada.

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: The Canadian Army in the Fall of 1944 - Reappraised
DESCRIPTION:Geoff Hayes challenges an orthodox view which holds that First Canadian Army\, Cinderella on the Left\, was too slow through the fall of 1944. The conscription crisis during this time clouded achievements of the Canadians\, but Hayes contends that reports reveal Canadian morale remained remarkably high through this period\, something the Canadian government leveraged to its advantage. \nThe Canadian Army in the Fall of 1944 – Reappraised is presented by Geoff Hayes. The lecture premiered 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.  Guelph Museums’ Military Lecture series is presented in partnership with the Laurier Centre for the Study of Canada. \nWatch The Recording:\n\nAbout Geoff Hayes\n \nGeoff Hayes is a professor of history at the University of Waterloo where he teaches Canadian and Canadian military history. He is also the editor of Canadian Military History.  His current research centres on the challenge of morale in the wartime Canadian army.
