Empowering Voices Through Art: National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Join First Nations artists, Christine Mackenzie and Nova Weipert, for a free, public community event on National Truth and Reconciliation Day. Christine Mackenzie is an Indigenous artist, facilitator, speaker and curator, while Nova Weipert is a transgender Two-Spirited Anishinaabe Ojibwe interdisciplinary artist, writer, director, educator and storyteller. Together, they will share their personal stories, reflect on their journeys, and showcase their unique artforms. Learn how to use different art mediums and create a small art piece to take home as a reminder of the event. This event is open to all ages, though children must be accompanied by an adult. Due to limited space and materials, reservations are required — walk-ins will not be accommodated.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation: Empowering Voices Through Art is supported by Vancity and Coquitlam Foundation.

We gratefully acknowledge the support of Metro Vancouver’s Regional Cultural Project Grants program.
