I wandered into the Robert Frederick Gallery (RFG) at UNBC this afternoon to explore the exhibition of the FNST 390/HIST 390 – Aboriginal people in Canada class, hosted by Dr. Daniel Sims. The exhibition was comprised of the work students in the course had created to share out their learning. I began by engaging with the first pieces hanging on the wall as I entered the gallery. As an educator by trade, I sensed something immediately compelling in what was being shared. The projects were raw and honest and humble and real. In an age filled with AI and fake news, I encountered, over and over again as I moved through the exhibit, not schoolwork, but labour...the hard and important task of reconciling self and knowledge. The pieces were often a combination of visual (painting, Prezi, video, ...even a set of funky guitar pedal boxes that connected land and place to technology) and written understandings. Clearly, the learners had "researched" and "studied" their "subjects", however, in the subsequent step of enacting a presentation, something personal that could be shared publicly, transcendence had been achieved... learners had literally climbed out of the selves they were when they began the course. In reflecting on aims for education, at any "level" in Canada, and the TRC Calls to Action (particularly #62 and #63), what happened in-the-art enacted something other-than school-learning, as I have mostly experienced it. Being in the RFG, with the projects and Dr. Sims (who was just hanging out and available to connect), I was reminded of how the learning we engage in might be impactful, influential, and inspirational. I left carrying some of the labour too, as I imagine the learners and other visitors might as well. If opportunity presents, maybe you too will stroll through the RFG@UNBC and experience power-full learning and sharing. But don't wait too long....  the exhibition will only be up until Tuesday April 11…. Musi-fully, Dr. Sims dwells at UNBC, offering profound learning experiences, not just for students, but faculty and staff too. Anko, Dr. Sims and the artists of FNST 390/HIST 390. Good work.
