Epiphanies Project
A collaborative exhibition by SASAH's Capstone Class
Opening Reception: December 3 in the Jim Good Boardroom (UC 3100)
Doors at 2:15, Speakers begin at 2:30
Epiphanies are sudden moments of realization, enlightenment, or shifts in perspective. This is also the title of a collaborative exhibition event organized by SASAH's fourth-year cohort for their Capstone group assignment. The students have solicited personal epiphanies from any person who has ever been to Western University or any of the affiliate campuses (Brescia, King’s, Huron). You can preview some of the submitted, anonymous statements on the Epiphanies Project's Instagram.
The opening reception for this event will be the first glimpse of the collected statements in one place. The afternoon will also feature guest speakers: Mary Lou Smoke is the current Indigenous Elder in Residence at Western University. She is an Anishinawbe from Batchawna Bay, which is located on beautiful Lake Superior where she was raised. Mary Lou shares her culture and wisdom through storytelling and songs. Trish Market is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Western and a historical archaeologist who examines place, memory and landscape in the generations following migration events. She will deliver the talk, "The Landscape in Six Stories: Memory, Archive and Ruin in D'Hanis, TX" as part of this opening reception event.
