Towards Truth and Reconciliation

TOWARDS TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION:

Painted Stories of the Moon with Jodanna George

 

Join local artist Jordanna George with creative engagement and artful response in honour of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

 

Follow Jordanna George to view their outdoor vinyl installation: Full Moon, then get inspired by thoughtful reflections on the moon in the art studio. This guided painting workshop will consider colour as mood and play with lunar themes and compositions in a circular frame.

 

Artists will create acrylic paintings on wooden panels that will explore light and shadow, phases of the moon, and explore ideas of belonging and intuition with seasons of life.

 

Audience: 12 and Up 

 

 

Jordanna George is an artist of mixed T’Sou-ke and Ukrainian ancestry. Originally from Sooke, BC, they now live on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), səlilwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) nations in Coquitlam, BC. They received a BFA from the University of Victoria in 2019, and have since been making comics and illustrations, exploring themes of identity, belonging, and hope, and pulling influence from Indigeneity, queerness, and science fiction. The rest of Jordanna’s artistic practice involves painting, printmaking, and weaving. They can be found at jordannageorge.com and on social media as @raebirdart.
