Virtual Panel | Material Intimacies: Stories in Stone
Thursday, October 13, 2022, 7:00-8:30 pm CDT
Facilitated on Zoom and live-streaming on the School of Art Gallery, University of Manitoba YouTube channel. ASL interpretation available.
Join Robert Coutts, historian and author of Authorized Heritage: Place, Memory, and Historic Sites in Prairie Canada, and exhibiting artists, Tricia Wasney and Vanessa Hyggen, in a panel considering the personal and institutional meanings Tyndall Stone has accumulated through its use in construction. Coutts will discuss how heritage and history-marking are entwined with nationalism, focusing on the commemoration of 19th century limestone construction along the Red River (including Lower Fort Garry). Wasney will speak about her artwork, a narrative jewellery piece exploring the significance of the quarry landscape to her intergenerational history. Hyggen will present about her participatory art project Beads and Stone II at the UofM and of mîkisak ikwa asiniyak | Beads and Stone | Lii rasaad aykwa lii rosh, her 2019 collaboration with Ruth Cuthand at the University of Saskatchewan. These three 20-minute presentations will be followed by a Q&A.
