Event Description
Join us for an opening event to view a travelling art exhibition developed by the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and Artist Carey Newman.
The Witness Blanket is a powerful art installation created by master carver Carey Newman to recognize the atrocities of the residential school era, honour the children and symbolize ongoing reconciliation.
Inspired by a woven blanket, this cedar – framed artwork is made of hundreds of items from residential schools, Survivors, churches, governments and other cultural sites across Canada. Each item tells a story of loss, strength, resilience and pride.
The exhibition will be on display at the CNC Quesnel Campus, in collaboration with the Quesnel Tillicum Society, from November 5 to 21, 2025, and at the CNC Prince George Campus from November 27 to December 30, 2025.
An opening event in Quesnel will take place on Thursday, November 13 at 10 a.m. at the CNC campus in Quesnel. Details for the Prince George opening event will be announced soon.
