————————————————————————
This Art Activism initiative was created by the students of Robert Bateman School. This will be an opportunity to witness their work which visually narrates the life story of Bea Silver, a prominent Elder, educator, leader and residential school survivor.
Lexéywa – “Torch” calls us to consider the history and impact of residential schools on a national level. Viewers will move through the circular exhibition of 20 large-scale paintings. These are paired with audio recordings that relay Bea’s story chronologically, uncovering an individual experience that speaks to the lasting impact of residential schools.
