Speaking Pictures invites Indigenous elders to come and speak to the public about photographs that highlight the stories, histories, and landscapes of the north shore. In its inaugural year, this program takes place on the Sunday closest to each solstice and equinox: March 24 for Spring, June 23 for Summer, September 22 for Fall and December 22 for Winter. The changing of seasons is marked with gathering, storytelling and the sharing of food. The seasonal changes invite us to reflect on the past and grow into the future. Please join us for a time of storytelling and light refreshments from 11am until 1pm.
RSVPs are helpful

Weaver Sam Seward will be intertwining stories and photographs for the fall equinox. Inspired by photographs from 1906 and onward, he has recreated culturally significant robes and weavings. Remaking these robes is a way to honour ancestors and protects the practice of weaving for the future. Weaving was not only witnessed as a necessity for sustaining life but an artform and symbol of major events in life. Shaped by history and culture, Sam has been working on a series of weavings influenced by Sḵwx̱wú7mesh legends and places, some of which will be on display during this event.
