Movie Matinée – Picking Up the Pieces: The Making of the Witness Blanket
Saturday, February 17 at 2 p.m.–3:30 p.m.
FreeInspired to know more about his father’s time at residential school, artist Carey Newman created the Witness Blanket – a national monument that commemorates the experiences of residential school survivors. The Blanket is constructed from hundreds of everyday items collected from residential schools, churches, government buildings and cultural structures across Canada. Each object has a story to tell; each survivor has something to say. Narrated by the artist, this film weaves together those stories with his personal journey, examining how art can open our hearts to the pain of truth and the beauty of resiliency.
This movie is not rated.
Doors open at 1:30 p.m.
The movie starts at 2 p.m.
Movie run time: 87 minutes
This program is part of the Witness Blanket, on view in the Library from January 26 – March 10, thanks to funding from the Province of BC and the WVML Foundation.
