<a href="https://research.ecuad.ca/healthdesignlab/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Emily Carr University Health Design Lab</a> is hosting Lheidli: Where the Two Rivers Meet — a three week exhibition in their First Floor Gallery from August 10 to August 29, 2023. The exhibit is a showcase of the Decolonizing Cultural Safety Education Through Cultural Connections project — an Indigenous community-led approach to cultural safety education that seeks to decolonize the healthcare system through making and dialogue. <h3></h3><h3>Exhibit Closing Reception + Presentation</h3>We invite you to join us at the exhibit closing event on August 29, 2023 from 6:00pm – 8:00pm to meet the project team, artists and collaborators, and understand the potential of this approach to addressing Indigenous-specific racism and health inequities that persist today. Appetizers and beverages will be served. <h3>Schedule</h3>6:00pm Welcome Reception <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jum0RzOWx81H1_9QeotCayIcKHb00MgF/view?usp=drive_link" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">(Floor 1 Gallery)</a>6:30pm Presentation by the Cultural Connections Team <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XOqtFAZ8hINIsxldeHl5Oy-nKSRFONVM/view?usp=drive_link" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">(Floor 2, Room C2290)</a>7:00pm Q &amp; A | Closing Remarks7:30pm Open Exhibit Space <h3>More about the Project </h3>This is a collaboration between the <a href="https://www.ecuad.ca/on-campus/agp" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Aboriginal Gathering Place</a> and the <a href="https://research.ecuad.ca/healthdesignlab/about/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Health Design Lab</a> at Emily Carr University of Art + Design (ECUAD) and the Director of Aboriginal Education at the College of New Caledonia (CNC), and funded through a Systems Change Grant from the Vancouver Foundation. The overall goal of this project has been to shift how the next generation of health professionals&#x27; views Indigenous health and support an environment where Indigenous peoples consistently access culturally safe and appropriate care, feel comfortable using the healthcare system, and experience better health outcomes. The exhibit and related publication (which will be available by donation at the gallery), are the result of a 3-year pilot project to develop and test the Cultural Connections Workshop Model for cultural safety education. Grounded in Indigenous ways of knowing, the 3-day workshop aims to create a culturally immersive space for the purpose of shared learning and mutual benefit by bringing together health science students with Indigenous community members. Participants interact with one another through sharing circles and through making — using arts and material practice to facilitate dialogue and relationship building. <a href="https://research.ecuad.ca/healthdesignlab/2022/06/09/an-immersive-approach-to-cultural-safety-education/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Learn More</a>
