The Ingersoll Creative Arts Centre is pleased to host an outdoor art installation by Métis artist Tracey-Mae Chambers as part of her nationwide #hopeandhealingcanada project. We invite Heart FM to speak with the artist while she installs her work on Wednesday, August 17 between 9 am and 3 pm. Chambers will be available to share information about her project including the symbolism of using red yarn.
The #hopeandhealingcanada project consists of a series of site-specific art installations. Each is made using crochet, knit, and woven red yarns. This ongoing body of work is used to illustrate connections between Indigenous, Inuit, and Métis peoples with Canadians, while also addressing the decolonization of public spaces. Chambers is travelling across Canada and the United States creating site-specific art installations at residential school historical sites, cultural centres, museums, art galleries and other public spaces. Once dismantled, the work is returned
to the artist and will be reworked and repurposed at another site somewhere else in the country. The stories gathered from each participating venue will culminate in a book and travelling exhibition. 
Tracey-Mae Chambers is a member of the Métis Nation of Ontario. Her family is from, and some still reside, in the traditional Métis community in Sault Ste. Marie and Penetanguishene, Ontario. www.traceymae.com
The #hopeandhealingcanada installation in Ingersoll will be the powerful ending location of the September 30 Truth and Reconciliation walk and activities planned by the Ingersoll and Area Indigenous Solidarity Awareness Network.  
Chamber’s #hopeandhealingcanada installation will be dismantled on October 7.
