MSVU Art Gallery Collections Assistant\, Kelsey McLaughlin\, and Gallery Technician\, David Dahms\, will transfer select artworks from storage to the Gallery in order to photograph each piece and update collection records. The focus will be on works by Alice Egan Hagen (1872-1972)\, a renowned Nova Scotian ceramicist and MSVU alumna. The university’s permanent collection holds over 100 paintings and ceramics by Alice Egan Hagen\, which were donated to the school by the artist in 1966. \nThis documentation work by Kelsey and David will take place in the Gallery\, alongside a selection of paintings by Alice Egan Hagen and other artists from the permanent collection. \n  \nAbout Alice Egan Hagen\n\nAlice Hagen was born in Halifax to Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Egan and his wife Margaret. Starting in 1882\, she studied at the Mount Saint Vincent Academy and later enrolled in the Victoria School of Art and Design. In the 1890s\, Hagen studied with the Nova Scotia artist Bessie Brown and later with Adelaide Alsop Robineau\, the American painter and potter\, in New York. While she worked in both oils and watercolours\, china painting was her first passion. By 1896 she had acquired a sufficient degree of fame to be 1 of 16 artists commissioned to paint a state dinner service for the Governor General. Hagen is considered to be the founder of the studio pottery movement in Nova Scotia although it was only in 1931\, at the age of 60 and after a tour of Europe\, that she set up her own pottery studio and kiln in Mahone Bay. She studied with Robert Prescott\, a potter located in Lantz\, Nova Scotia\, and began to work with local clays. She remained an active potter into her 90s.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Walking With Our Sisters
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Walking With Our Sisters is a commemoration honouring missing and murdered Indigenous women\, girls and Two-Spirited people through ceremony\, community and reflection. It presents more than 1800 pairs of moccasin tops (vamps) made by contributing artists. The moccasins are unfinished\, symbolizing over 1180 sisters\, mothers\, aunties\, daughters\, cousins\, grandmothers\, wives and partners whose lives were tragically cut short over the last thirty years. Many have vanished without a trace\, and their cases have often been inadequately investigated\, neglected or ignored. \nThe vamps are arranged on the floor in a winding formation and visitors remove their shoes to walk alongside them on a pathway of cloth\, to show solidarity and respect. Organized by local Elders and volunteers and guided by the Walking With Our Sisters National Collective\, this community-based project holds space for ceremony and healing. Those who are gone were cared for\, they were loved\, and they are not forgotten.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”15665\,15666\,15667\,15668\,15669\,15670\,15671\,15672″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\nInformation For Visitors\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Walking With Our Sisters is a memorial. The project is guided by local Elders and community members\, and informed by traditional protocols and acts of ceremony. As such\, footwear is to be removed before entering the ceremonial space. It is traditional for women to wear skirts in ceremony; skirts are available to borrow if desired. All visitors will be asked to carry a (provided) tobacco tie while walking through the memorial\, and deposit it in a box at the end of the visit. The tobacco from this box is burned daily\, sending visitors’ prayers to the Sisters. Additionally\, sage is frequently burnt within the space. This is known as smudging. While there will be extra ventilation in place\, some of the scent and smoke remain\, cleansing the space for the Sisters.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\nAcknowledgements\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Grants from Arts Nova Scotia and the Halifax Regional Municipality are gratefully acknowledged.
