The Art Gallery of Alberta is pleased to announce a special edition of its ongoing Community Tour series, in which we invite our community to gather for a Blanket Exercise to learn about Canada’s colonial history and the enduring resilience of the Indigenous peoples on whose land we live.

Participants stand on blankets that represent the land and walk through Canada’s history from an Indigenous perspective. The exercise engages critically and emotionally with our shared history, encouraging empathy and understanding. We will end the exercise with conversation and contemplation in the AGA’s galleries.

This blanket exercise will be led by a team of facilitators from the Musée Heritage Museum, St. Albert, and Michif Cultural Connections.

Please note that this program requires a minimum commitment of 2-3 hours.

Learn more about the history and purpose of Blanket Exercises by visiting the Kairos Canada website.
