On Thursday February 7, 2013, the Palestinian Canadian Life Stories working group presented to our families, friends and colleagues, a multimedia and art exhibit of Palestinian Canadian Life Stories, a project born from curiosity, founded in friendship, and built on trust.
The Center for Ethnographic Research and Exhibition in the Aftermath of Violence, at Concordia University, hosted this first and intimate vernissage of our labour, of our stories.
The evening carried an energy, a warmth, a love, and everyone present was curious, engaged and happy to read, hear and experience our presentation.

Created by Matthew Foster, Florencia Marchetti, Rachel Rotrand, and Alejandro Yoshizawa. Co-produced by Erica Lehrer and Monica Eileen Patterson for CDK Productions.

CEREV Ph.D. student and curator Vicky Chainey Gagnon is collaborating with museum practitioners Elena Gonzales and Gretchen Rudham to develop a set of tools that will aid critical curatorial and educational practice in exhibitions. Through hands-on experiments with participants – particularly individuals and groups that work for social change – they will develop strategies for curatorial writing, effective display of objects, self-aware engagement of visitors with objects and each other, and the creation of opportunities for critical embodied learning towards questioning privileges taken for granted.
