Show focuses on Holocaust, residential school survivors’ trauma, recovery
Their stories are not the same, but they both endured great pain and trauma that impacted their lives.
Artist Carol Wylie brings her art exhibition, They Didn’t Know We Were Seeds, to The Chapel Gallery in North Battleford that focuses on the separate lives of those who survived the Holocaust and residential school experiences.
The show focuses on the whole idea “of people putting you in darkness and burying you under a lot of trauma and darkness, but then emerging and growing out of it as a seed,” Wylie said, adding from the seed a flower can blossom to create something beautiful.
She said the show also reflects the courage of the survivors, and their “indomitable human spirit.”
