Part of how we connect to nature is through our tactile, physical interaction with it, so in this fun, family-friendly workshop, we’ll get hands-on with some rocks – as visitors to the exhibition will also do as part of the installation – and create something with them.

Resilience Banners
Saturday, July 3
1 PM – 3 PM | Studio
In Autumn Tigers, Karen Tam examines the resilience and strength of Chinese-Canadians who have thrived even under the pressures of systemic racism, violence, and discrimination.
