Join us for a quiet, reflective hour of creating faceless dolls in honour of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people. Together, we will craft these small figures as an act of remembrance, care, and solidarity—each one carrying our intentions, grief, and hope.
This program provides art activities with a connection to local history, museum exhibitions and culture for adults and seniors, including those requiring accessibility. This program edition will be focused on creating faceless doll, in commemoration of the Sisters in Spirit vigil.
