An Evening with Sandra Semchuk

University of Alberta Press has published an important new book by Sandra Semchuk, a photographic, text, and video artist, and the winner of a Governor General’s Award in Visual and Media Arts (2018). Semchuk will be touring Canada in the coming months to create a discussion around The Stories Were Not Told: Canada’s First World War Internment Camps. In The Stories Were Not Told, Semchuk highlights Canada’s internment operations during the First World War, in which many immigrants from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Germany, and the Ottoman Empire were unjustly imprisoned as enemy aliens. Semchuk is hosting a presentation, book sale, and signing at the Greater Vernon Museum and Archives on Tuesday, March 26, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. This is a free event, and everyone is welcome to attend. Semchuk’s presentation will kick off a new social justice exhibit on display at the Greater Vernon Museum and Archives from April 5th to May 30th.
