Witness Blanket

April 18, 2026 to September 6, 2026

The Witness Blanket is a powerful art installation by master carver Carey Newman. It recognizes the atrocities of the Indian Residential Schools; honours the children whose lives were impacted and symbolizes Canada’s ongoing efforts toward truth and reconciliation.

This installation is a photographic reproduction of the cedar-framed artwork, which is inspired by a woven blanket. It includes hundreds of objects recovered from 77 communities across Canada where residential schools were located.
