This event is CANCELLED due to weather.
Join us at Treaty Space Gallery for this Bookbinding Workshop taught by Alexina St. Pierre-Farrow. We will be learning some basic bookbinding skills while working with the pages we created during the fall's Paper-making Workshop. All materials will be provided!
The pages will be bound into a journal that addresses the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 92nd Call to Action. The journal will travel across Mi’kma’ki helping to implement policy and process change within local businesses. Over the months of 2025, individuals will contribute stories of truth, compassion, hope, awareness and education to enable others to strengthen their paths towards reconciliation.
Jude Gerrard (NSCAD Ombudsperson) from Millbrook First Nation invites us to consider the following:
"When we look at what is ‘just,’ it’s about having Indigenous and non-Indigenous people walk that path to reconciliation. I struggle with the word ‘reconciliation’ itself...By definition, what that means is there was a good relationship, and something broke that, and we had to mend it. If the relationship was never good in the first place, is it really reconciliation? Conciliation, maybe.”
