There are now over 20 pieces on display in the Fireplace Reading Room on the second floor of the library, including traditional paintings, jewelry, sculptures, and beadwork designs. This exhibit is an expression of work being done towards reconciliation in the Queen\u2019s community, featuring works from 10 local artists, including Jaylene Cardinal, Kingston based Indigenous artisan and designer of the 2023 Queen\u2019s University Orange shirt.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the second year Queen\u2019s has hosted an Indigenous art exhibit for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. <\/span>The showcase was first proposed by an Indigenous medical student at Queen\u2019s in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a release from the University regarding the show, they stated, \u201cIt is part of our ongoing commitment to advancing decolonization and reconciliation while building an inclusive campus where all Queen\u2019s community members feel seen, safe, and welcome.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
