St. Joseph’s School in Port Elgin shared photos from a recent event held to unveil the artwork of Emily Kewageshig that is gracing their hallways.
The work represents the Past, Present & Future and they thank the artist and 6 of their past students who collaborated to make it.
The meaning behind the work is strong family connections and a grandfather’s teachings.
There are also symbols of the clans with bear, turtle, heron, wolf and hummingbird represented.
The mural took over 1 year to complete and the unveiling was taken in by students, staff and special dignitaries.
Emily is an Anishnaabe artist & visual storyteller from Saugeen First Nation.
