Library Main Space, Community Meeting Room

Enjoy a tour and introduction to a new exhibit titled "The Mill" by artist Russell Gendron.

About the exhibit:

The Mill is an ongoing multimedia investigation into the forestry industry in British Columbia. The project uses sound-art and quilting to highlight first hand accounts of workers’ experiences in forestry on Sḵwx̱wú7mesh territory and around the province.


Visitors to the event will have the chance to hear environmental soundscape, music made from machine noises and voices talking about daily tasks, industry closures, first experiences at work and more. 

Also on display are memory quilts made from forestry worker’s clothing: memory quilts are typically designed to celebrate the life of a loved one or an important event. In this case, these quilts honour the workers, communities and the lands and waters impacted by both the industrial and de-industrial processes of forestry. 

Russell will introduce the project followed by a short Q&A period.

About the Artist:

Russell Gendron is an artist whose practice includes music, quilting, sound mapping and photography. He enjoys wandering around and chatting with others and then trying to translate this subtle and serene material into art. 

Born in Vancouver, from ages eleven to sixteen Russell worked at a sawmill during the summers and on weekends. This was a formative period for him and inspired his project The Mill. He lives in Montreal.
