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: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.

She grew up in the sunny\, dry and slightly kooky desert of Palm Springs\, California which has informed her creative openness and desire to make delightful art in the world. Her vocal practice bridges sentimental storytelling with experimental improvisation\, contextualized by the space and place of the expression. She is interested in learning more about the lands she currently lives\, works and plays on\, which has sparked the concept of arts-based kin making as part of that navigation. Through it\, she hopes to build and nurture relationships with human and more-than-human kin and collectively heal aspects of species loneliness.

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).

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: The Royal Canadian Air Force at 100: A material retrospective with Mike Bechthold
DESCRIPTION:In 1968\, the RCAF Flyers\, winners of the 1948 Olympic Gold Medal for ice hockey\, reunited for a charity game. Here\, the vice chief of the defence staff\, Lieutenant-General F.R. Sharpe speaks with four members of the team: Lieutenant-Colonel Hubert Brooks\, Chief Warrant Officer Andy Gilpin\, Sergeant Red Gravelle\, and Captain Frank Boucher. The jersey worn by Gravelle in this photo is now in the collection of the National Air Force Museum. \nThe Royal Canadian Air Forces marks a centenary of service this year. This lecture examines the rich history of the air force through the lens of objects selected from the collections of some of the exceptional RCAF museums located across the country. Many of these items appear innocuous at first glance – a wooden spoon\, baby booties\, a plexiglass ring\, and a battered old suitcase – but we will use these objects as a window into the remarkable history of the RCAF. That wooden spoon was carved by the “Savior of Ceylon” while he was in a Japanese prisoner of war camp; the baby booties belonged to one of Canada’s outstanding Battle of Britain pilots; the ring was a gift to a young woman who was on the “front lines” of Canada’s essential role training aircrew in the Second World War; and the suitcase tells the story of a Canadian fighter pilot who disappeared over North Africa\, never to be found. Learn about these untold stories and much more. \nThe Royal Canadian Air Force at 100: A material retrospective is presented by Mike Bechthold. The lecture will premiere in-person at the Civic Museum\, and online via our Facebook livestream. Preregistration is not required. The recorded conversation will be 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 Mike Bechthold\nMike Bechthold holds a PhD in History from the University of New South Wales\, Canberra\, Australia and an MA & Honours BA from Wilfrid Laurier University\, Waterloo\, Ontario\, Canada.

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: "It was hell\, that's all": Artillery and the Senses in the Canadian Corps\, 1914-1918
DESCRIPTION:The First World War on the Western Front was overwhelmingly a war of artillery. Both sides’ firepower dictated what form the war would take\, driving men to dig trenches to conceal and protect themselves\, but even then\, artillery was responsible for over half of Canadian casualties. Given the significance of its role\, it is no surprise that the letters\, diaries and memoirs of soldiers make frequent reference to the unending roar of the guns and the damage wrought by shellfire. \nBut what was it like to fight with the artillery? Though stationed further from the front lines than the infantry\, gunners underwent many of the same experiences and faced many of the same risks. They\, too\, struggled to fight a war against enemies they couldn’t see\, learned how to use sound as a tool for self-preservation and were frequent targets of enemy guns. Despite these commonalities\, however\, the ways in which gunners understood the war and their role within it could vary drastically from their infantry counterparts. Using the senses — namely vision\, hearing and touch — this presentation explores the lives of Canadian gunners and demonstrates the ongoing need to look beyond the trenches in order to better understand the diverse experiences of Canadians fighting the First World War \n“It was hell\, that’s all”: Artillery and Senses in the Canadian Corps\, 1914-1918 is presented by Hazel Scott Pankratz. The lecture will premiere in-person at the Civic Museum\, and online via our Facebook livestream. Preregistration is not required. The recorded conversation will be 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 Hazel Scott Pankratz\nHazel Scott Pankratz is a PhD candidate in history at Western University\, where her research focuses on the intersection of technology\, the body and lived experience in the Canadian artillery during the First World War. She holds degrees from Trent University and Wilfrid Laurier University.

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 will be available on Eventbrite soon. \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).

SUMMARY:Art\, Art Museums\, and Data: Indigenous Data Sovereignty and Addressing Data Bias
DESCRIPTION:Galleries and museums collect objects and information. Data about the object\, maker\, origin\, material\, and cultural significance is integral to building collections. However\, these practices are rooted in colonial structures that continue to misrepresent and misuse Indigenous histories. \nUnderstanding “sovereignty” – the human right to “hold sovereignty” – is a critical act of dismantling colonial collecting practices. This workshop will explore visual art and cultural objects as data. Participants will delve into the meaning of Indigenous data sovereignty including intellectual property rights and digital data collection. These understandings can help individuals and institutions to interact and build with collections through a decolonial lens. \nNote: This is a joint event between Ontario Galleries and Guelph Museums

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
