MENDING CRACKS: Beyond
Raghavendra Rao KV (Raghu)
September 29 - October 18
Artist Party - Saturday, October 2, 6 - 8 pm
“Mending Cracks: Beyond”
explores disability, trauma and
the complex process of recovery. How do we respond to pain,
personal and political, individual and social? In these works, we
see struggle, acceptance, resilience, protest, and action, woven
together in a series of portraits in watercolour, acrylic, and cloth
on tarp, paper, and canvas, and arrayed on hanging Xray sheets.

INSIDE THE PEARL
by Jude Neale

Preface:
I first became aware of Joy Kogawa when I read Obasan. This was her account of internment in Canada, because she is a Canadian of Japanese heritage, in and beyond the Second World War.
The novel opened my eyes to injustice, betrayal, and loss. Impossible truths to a young, white, privileged woman.

In this booklet, you will find the TRC’s 10 principles of Reconciliation, the 94 calls to action and the 46 articles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). These documents are instruments of Reconciliation and serve as guides to assist in repairing the damaged relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
