WILLIAMS LAKE – Thompson Rivers University Williams Lake is welcoming the Witness Blanket to campus – a nationally recognized art installation.
The exhibit, developed by the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and Indigenous artist Carey Newman, “is a powerful and thought-provoking work of art that recognizes the dark and difficult legacy of residential schools in our country,” said the news release.
“I talk about the Witness Blanket as a response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s call for commemoration initiatives,” Newman told CBC Radio. “It was my way of using art to talk about the truth of residential school history in Canada. It was inspired by my father and his experience.”
The exhibit is currently on display until January 8, 2024 at TRU Williams lake Campus.
