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

Presented in partnership with the St. John’s International Women’s Film Festival.

Tour

Auks, Wolves and Whales

What fills the void when a species is no more? Legends, folklore, and history worth learning from. Come listen to the stories of the Great Auk, the Newfoundland Wolf, and Endangered Whales as they echo across the ages through their body and bones. Commiserate with the extinct, heed the calls of the endangered, hold ossified bones, and see how artists transform tragedy into hope for a sustainable future.

Each tour is approximately 30 – 40 minutes and is included in the cost of admission. Free for Rooms members.
