Foundling by Michele Karch- Ackerman
Dec. 3, 2010– Jan. 16, 2011
Opening reception: Sunday, Dec. 5, 2010 from 2-4pm
Foundling is an installation that honours the lives of unwed mothers and the babies they gave up during the early and mid 20th century. The exhibition sheds light on a secret chapter in Canadian history: the stories of young women transported to distant cities to hide the shame of an out of wedlock pregnancy. Once the babies were born they were put up for adoption and the mothers were sent home as if nothing had ever happened. More »
