The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) is reaching out to Aboriginal artists to submit works relating to the legacy and impact Indian Residential Schools have had on former students, parents, future generations and communities.
The call for submissions can also relate to the relationships within families and between communities.
The objective of the TRC is to collect works that express trust, impact and legacy of the Residential School experience and to assist with reconciliation.
According to the TRC, artists should feel free to express themselves in any way they choose, including decorative and traditional arts, sculptures and carvings, drawings and paintings.
The submissions must relate to apology, truth, cultural oppression, cultural genocide, resistance, resilience, spirituality, remembrance, reconciliation, rejuvenation or restoration of Aboriginal culture and pride.
For further details of what must be submitted and how to submit, visit the TRC website.http://www.trc.ca/
