Join filmmaker Mary Sexton for a screening Me, Mom & Covid, a documentary that deals with the struggles of a family who lost their matriarch during the pandemic. The film also looks at the parallels between the public response to COVID-19 and to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the ‘80s.
A moderated conversation linking Sexton’s film to the contemporary visual art of Kim Morgan in Blood and Breath, Skin and Dust will follow the film.

Today's Events & Programs
Winter may be here, but there’s no need to stay home!
Join us at The Rooms to exercise and socialize during this colder and drearier time of year. While strolling throughout the building and enjoying both the exhibitions and the views, participants will focus on a different spotlight item from our collection each week. After our stroll, staff will lead a brief discussion on the weekly spotlight, and then everyone is encouraged to stay and socialize with friends new and old.
No registration is needed. Included with the cost of admission ($7.80 plus HST for seniors), free for members.
