2011 Fall Lectures

24 Nov 2011: Breakout from Juno - Mark Zuehlke

Lecture Subject: Breakout from Juno is a story of uncommon heroism, endurance and sacrifice by Canada's World War II volunteer army and pays tribute to Canada's veterans at a time when many Canadians, young and old, are actively engaged in acts of remembrance.

27 Oct 2011: Evidence - David Garneau

Lecture Subject: Artist and writer David Garneau will discuss his painting Evidence, a haunting depiction of the autopsy photo of Neal Stonechild, a young First Nations boy of 17 who froze to death in a field outside of Saskatoon.  

The lecture is part of the Diabolique exhibition, a provocative visual arts display that explores themes surrounding human conflict. The Military Museums (TMM) is the final stop for this travelling contemporary art show, which is on loan from the Dunlop Art Gallery in Regina.

13 Oct 2011: Family Portraits by a Civilian Soldier - Scott Waters

Lecture Subject: Family portraits by a civilian soldier: This lecture will explore the distance between the soldier and civilian life. Scott Waters is one of 22 artists in Diabolique, the current exhibit in The Founders' Gallery. Scott's experience as a soldier, his civilian life, and his artistic ability lend to his contributions to Diabolique and the lecture series.
