The display includes poems, videos, paintings, and sculpture that all deliver positive messages designed to tackle racism and embrace diversity. This is a free program.
The project is funded by the Government of Canada with the support of NL Schools, CBC Newfoundland and Labrador, The Rooms Corporation, and Newfoundland and Labrador Teachers’ Association.
Sharing Our Cultures Incorporated in a not-for-profit charitable organization established in 1999. It is governed by an elected volunteer Board of Directors.
The programs engage school children and youth in activities that enhance their academic, sociocultural, and employability skills.
Artist, Annette Manning invites participants to create a graphic score while immersed in the installation Good Night Moon: a Rhythm, a Tempo by Matthew-Robin Nye.
While listening to an original soundscape composed in response to the installation, participants translate sound, space, and atmosphere into visual marks. Instead of musical notes, graphic scores use lines, shapes and gestures to show rhythm, intensity, or change over time.
No prior drawing or music experience required. Please bring your earphones and phone for close listening to the soundscape lullaby.
This is a free program but a ticket is required. Reserve your free ticket online or by calling 709-757-8090. Tickets are limited.
