I remember... - New Chilliwack Museum Exhibit

A new exhibition, I remember..., is now open at the Chilliwack Museum.

An ongoing, participatory, collaborative installation (curated by museum visitors!) aiming to foster personal recollections of life and community. Captured in glass mason jars and assembled from found objects, guests young and old are invited to craft their own connection to personal memory, while exploring the dynamic range of the collective memory within the community.

The Exhibition opened on May 21, 2021 and will run through to October 16, 2021. The goal of this exhibition is to have visitors share their own memories and build a collaborative exhibition. The aim is to show that while memories are unique, there are many commonalities in our lived experience as well.

“This exhibition is meant to be participatory”, says Sarah Belley, Education & Engagement Coordinator, “we want members of the community to share their connection to the concept of memory by crafting their own memory jars”.

The Museum is open Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 4:30pm, on Thursdays until 8:00pm, and Saturday from 10:00am to 4:00pm. More information on admissions can be found at www.chilliwackmuseum.ca. Admission is by donation until June 24, 2021.
