(I missed an entire exhibit!!)
Connected Heritage
by Articulation Textile Group
The question is often asked: How does an
exhibition come into existence? In this
case it is the result of the combined
efforts of a group of artists who have exhibited throughout Canada and England since
2004.
The group, Articulation, visited Gimli and
the surrounding area in 2017. They explored the Interlake landscape and
cultural connections specific to the region.
Inspired by the heritage of this unique
destination, members expressed their personal responses in textiles using
thread, paint, and mixed media. These works explore the culture and landscape
of the region and make connections between this region in the the heart of
Canada and the diversity of the Canadian peoples.
The New Iceland Heritage Museum agreed to
display this body of work. We are grateful for their participation in this
project.
