Nickle at Noon – Leslie Hossack: Artist’s Talk

Join artist Leslie Hossack for a discussion of her two exhibitions REGISTERED: The Japanese Canadian Experience During World War II and H-HOUR: Normandy 1944, at The Founders Gallery at The Military Museums. REGISTERED: The Japanese Canadian Experience During World War II (Nov. 11, 2016 – March 5, 2017) is an exhibition of photographs and archival material exploring the experience of Japanese Canadians during World War II when they were registered, rounded up and removed. REGISTERED includes newspaper clippings from the 1940s, authentic registration cards, and interpretive photographs of buildings where the story unfolded. H-HOUR: Normandy 1944 (Dec. 2, 2016 – March 5, 2017) is the latest series of work by photographer Leslie Hossack that explores the structural remains of the Atlantic Wall – giant bunkers and fortifications, largely hidden by the blowing sands of the D-Day beaches. It also commemorates individual grave markers of the soldiers killed in 1944 and buried in Canadian, British, American and German cemeteries scattered throughout Normandy, as well as many original documents related to their tragic deaths. Both exhibitions curated by Lindsey V. Sharman and held at The Founders Gallery at The Military Museums. For further information, visit nickle.ucalgary.ca/events.
