Discussion Series
In this expansive and educational series of three in-depth talks and conversational gallery tours, art educator Anne Pickard-Vaandering places current art exhibitions in context with wider art histories. Attend one or attend all three for an even broader understanding. These mini art history sessions will leave participants with a better appreciation of current exhibitions, as well as the historical and cultural movements and societal change seen through an art historical lens.
Discussion 1 - February 2: Feminisms through Art
Discussion 2 - March 1: Blood and Bodies: Religion and Science through Art
Discussion 3- April 5: Abstraction through Art

Events & Programs

Crafted by filmmakers from Newfoundland & Labrador, Mi’kma’ki, Canada, and beyond.
