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.
An opening event will take place on Monday, December 1 from 2:00pm – 4:30pm in the Gathering Place at the Prince George campus. All are welcome and encouraged to bear witness to the exhibit and listen to the stories and wisdom of local Elders and Survivors. Light snacks and refreshments will be served.
Please RSVP to let us know you are coming.
The exhibition will be on display at the CNC Prince George Campus from Wednesday, December 3, 2025 – Tuesday, December 30, 2025. The Witness Blanket can be viewed during the following hours:
