"The Witness Blanket: Truth, Art and Reconciliation" is a powerful exploration of the legacy of Canada's residential school system through art. Created by Indigenous artist Carey Newman, the Witness Blanket is a large-scale artwork made from artifacts that represent the experiences of Indigenous peoples forced into these schools. Each piece tells a story of survival and resilience. The project aims to foster healing and understanding among Canadians while educating them about the historical injustices faced by Indigenous communities. Through this artistic journey, Newman invites viewers to reflect on the past and work towards reconciliation in the present. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
