#hopeandhealingcanada invites an understanding between Indigenous and settler communities through a site-specific installation hand-crafted with vibrant red yarn. This knit and crochet series has travelled to over 100 public institutions, including historic residential school sites, museums, art galleries and government buildings. The large-scale artwork presented in the Kelowna Art Gallery Courtyard symbolizes history and hope and is designed to endure the elements while serving as a catalyst for reflection.
The goal of #hopeandhealingcanada is to remind us of the strength in community bonds. As a Métis and European individual, Tracey-Mae Chambers acknowledges her privilege and views this work as a form of self-education and healing.
