The Witness Blanket closing ceremony

Friday, September 20 | 6-7pm

The Witness Blanket closes this Friday, September 20 at the Nelson Museum. This FREE event is open to the public, and will feature a screening of the 8-minute version of the documentary, as well as jingle dancers and speakers. The event starts at 6 pm and seating will be limited.

We are honoured to have hosted this incredible touring installation in the gallery space, and are so awed by the community’s engagement – we’ve had over 30 tour groups since the exhibition opened in August, and hundreds of visitors. Thank you to the Canadian Museum of Human rights and artist Carey Newman for sharing with us.
