A great display is coming to the St. Marys Museum.
On Monday, August 22nd, Metis artist Tracey-Mae Chambers will be unveiling her #hopeandhealingcanada project.
The project consists of art installations across Canada.
Each #hopeandhealingcanada project is made with crochet, knit, and woven red yarns which is used to illustrate connections between Indigenous, Inuit, and Métis peoples with Canadians.
The display will remain at the Museum until November 22nd.
Tracey-Mae Chambers is a Métis artist and a member of the Métis Nation of Ontario. Her family is from, and some still reside, in the traditional Métis community in Sault Ste. Marie and Penetanguishene, Ontario.
She is traveling across Canada and the United States creating site specific art installations at residential school historical sites, cultural centres, museums, art galleries and other public spaces.
