A Path Forward is a permanent and evolving exhibit co-curated by Tsi Tyónnheht Onkwawén:na, the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund, and The County Museums that explores Truth & Reconciliation in Prince Edward County, and the shared past, present, and future of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in the County. Contemporary Indigenous works of art and story, interspersed with a non-static historical narrative, create a space for reflection, education, and guidance on our path forward together.
About the exhibit
Through a continuously collaborative process, APF aims to transform the former St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church, by placing contemporary works of art and story created by Indigenous artists amidst a narrative that speaks both to the historical importance and presence of Indigenous people in Prince Edward County, and the fact that the Mohawk, Mississauga, Wendat (Huron), and other nations who have called this area home are living communities with a future, as well as a past. This blending of contemporary art, story, and a non-static historical narrative speaks to how Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Prince Edward County are moving toward reconciliation – together.
