No reviews
Instructor: Mia Ohki

Ages: 9+

Location: Multicraft Studio, St. Albert Place

Join exhibiting artist Mia Ohki for a free art workshop inspired by her exhibition, I Know What It Looks Like. Learn more about how Mia Ohki’s artwork reflects her Métis and Japanese heritage and our nation’s history, including the internment of Japanese Canadians in WWII and the generational trauma caused by residential schools. You will create artwork reflecting on mixed identities, using the art creation process as an opportunity to remember, advocate and grow. Registration is limited. 

We will begin this program at Art Gallery of St Albert with a brief introduction to Mia Ohki’s exhibition I Know What it Looks Like. Once our short introduction is complete, a staff member will walk participants to the nearby Visual Arts Studios located in St Albert Place, where Mia will lead the workshop.

Art supplies included.

ColleenClass: Bead a Flower Pin

"I loved that Heather came around and asked each of us what we wanted to get out of that class. Then she did demos each class based on that."

VanessaClass: Pottery Throwing Level 2

"The program brought together an excellent group of people with different levels of treaty knowledge. I loved how Celina approached topics with openness and empathy. Her discussion of the generational impacts of residential schools was very moving. Additionally, her sharing of her family’s oral histories of negotiating and signing treaties was eye-opening."
