An important interview.

"Let’s go back to that time when we believed in peace. Why is it so wrong to start a global movement around the notion of peace and world peace? It’s possible." - Mirjana Spoljaric, @icrc.org President.

"No Longer Coverable", by Jayden Deskes (2025) Art on loan from Kijicho Manito Madaouskarini Algonquin First Nation. Thank you; we are grateful. Tonight, our museum sign will be illuminated orange to acknowledge National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Two canvases nailed together depict an unnamed residential school. An opening, partly stitched together, reveals orange and red handprints beneath the surface. The orange handprints represent truth and reconciliation. The red reflects teachings received by the artist that red is a colour the spirit world can see. Together, the handprints bear witness to the physical and spiritual violence of residential schools.Artwork: "No Longer Coverable" Artist: Jayden Deskes Year: 2025 Two canvases nailed together depict an unnamed residential school.
