Artspeak will be closed to the public Friday, September 30 to observe National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Though the gallery is pausing operations, staff are participating in internal discussions concerning TRC’s 2015 Calls to Action.
For settler-descendants, immigrants and refugees, and persons whose ancestors came to these lands involuntarily, we hope you will join us in engaging in Indigenous histories; today especially, we celebrate the brilliance and strength of Indigenous Nations, and continue to pointedly interrogate the ongoing violence perpetrated by the colonial project.
