A major feature of the festival is the big tent located in Churchill Square. "Reconciliation" is a multi-media presentation focussing on the aftermath of the Indian Residential School system. Artists Ken Armstrong, Dawn Marie Marchand, and Lee Deranger present words, images, and interactive elements that are disturbing, haunting, and thought-provoking.
The display is very timely, with the
Truth and Reconciliation Commission cross-Canada events recently concluding in Edmonton.
The Works takes place in and around Churchill Square until July 1.
