As we approach the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation, Métis textile artist Tracey-Mae Chambers adorns the School House with yarn flowers, offering a poignant commentary on decolonization. Her work centers on reclaiming spaces where Indigenous peoples have been historically displaced.
Tracey-Mae Chambers is a Métis installation artist and sculptor, and a member of the Métis Nation of Ontario. Her family is from several traditional Métis communities; both the Vasseur-Longlade and Cadieux-Evans families. Her piece, Hope and Healing Canada, encourages people to have the uncomfortable, yet important conversations about decolonization.
Participation is included with admission to the Village.
