Identities & Intersectionality at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria

Cost: $39

Event Description: Join néhiyaw community connector and cultural consultant
Miranda Jimmy for an interactive introduction to DEI in the workplace.
Together, we’ll create shared language and common understanding of basic

intersectionality, and build capacity to advocate for workplace
transformation. Participants will leave with a baseline knowledge of DEI
work, tools to apply these concepts, and resources for further learning.
This engaging learning opportunity will be sure to spark curiosity and
conversation.

*Sidney Museum Field Trip*

Chat to the curator and team, find out more about their popular Lego
exhibit and see their current travelling exhibition. ‘The Little Black
Dress’, on loan from the Costume Museum of Canada, offers a fascinating
glimpse at how the little black dress as a garment has evolved throughout
the 20th century, and examines how this evolution has been reflected in the
changing roles and perceived place of women in society from 1910-1980.

*Point Ellice House Field Trip*

recontextualizing the legacy of the home’s owners, Point Ellice House is an
excellent example of how heritage spaces are reinventing themselves to
better support and reflect their communities.

Since part of this tour will be of the gardens, attendees are highly
encouraged to dress appropriately for the weather and bring a coat.
