SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: They Are Loved - an epidemic of grief - Artist Tracey-Mae Chambers
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Opening   \nFriday May 1 | 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM  \nFREE to attend; all are welcome. Light refreshments will be served.  \nSee full exhibit details and RSVP online or by calling (519) 797-2080.  \nGrief is universal\, but not all loss is socially supported; this is disenfranchised grief. When a loss is unrecognized\, or the grieving person is marginalized (e.g.\, due to addiction or mental health issues)\, their pain is often unseen.  \nAs a grieving mother and artist\, Tracey-Mae Chambers’ project ‘they are loved – an epidemic of grief’ aims to raise awareness of the lives lost across Canada and physically show that each person was loved. Born from her personal loss\, this project will grow to represent hundreds of loved ones.  \nThe installation\, which will be on display at the Museum from May 1-31\, uses textiles donated by families surviving a loss due to substance consumption. These fabrics are cut into strips and tied together\, binding our shared pain. Families without a textile can choose one from my collected database to commemorate their loved one.  \nSadly\, this project will likely continue to expand unless we improve mental health support.  Hugs from a broken momma’s heart.
