Faded Memories of Home by Tom Wilson

Isabel | Art and Media Lab

This installation explores the systemic erasure of Indigenous culture in residential schools. Portraying a colonial classroom, the exhibit includes nine rebuilt residential school desks with photographs of children’s families inside. As you move further in the rows, the images disappear representing the loss of identities, family, culture, and language.
