Workshop | Exploring the Power of Mindfulness (online)


ERM Mindfulness is an online program designed with positive psychology insights and neuroscience research to help participants to experience the present moment with increased acceptance, nurturing curiosity and promoting collaboration. Our minds have a natural tendency to wander. Now with the challenges that come from increased time spent at home and away from in-person activities, we have an opportunity to develop a greater sense of wellbeing and interconnectedness by training our minds to become more aware and less judgmental. By cultivating awareness of emotions while reinforcing positive values and goals, students will have an opportunity to practice mindful listening and meditation in 3 sections: Clarity: focused attention and open monitoring guided meditations Compassion: active listening and self-compassion for collaboration Creativity: leadership communication and visualization With: Rajiah Williams Leong Thursdays, January 27-April 7, 2022

Talk | To Dachau and Back to Life: A Holocaust Survivor Speaks (online)


Elly Gotz was born in 1928 in Kovno (Kaunas), Lithuania. When he was 13 years old, Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union and Elly and his family were forced into a ghetto. When the ghetto was later liquidated, Elly was transported to the Dachau concentration camp, where he labored in an underground factory for a German company named Moll.  After being liberated in 1945, Elly and his family lived in Germany, desperate to emigrate. In the spring of 1947, they were accepted to Norway as refugees, and later that year they were able to immigrate to Zimbabwe to join extended family members. Elly eventually moved to Johannesburg and then Toronto, where he established several businesses and achieved his lifelong dream of becoming a pilot. In 2017, at the age of 89, he fulfilled another dream by going skydiving.  Gotz explores his remarkable journey of survival and rebuilding.

Talk | Amplifying Oral Histories of Resistance (online)


Oral historians have a reverence for the power of the stories that are shared with us. Practitioners also aim to pursue their work through processes that empower narrators and their larger communities. This talk with How We Go Home: Voices from Indigenous North America editor Sara Sinclair will explore how oral history can challenge oppressive power dynamics and counteract colonial designs to interrupt the transmission of culture and stories. The talk will center the origin and power of stories in an indigenous context, focusing on the role of collective memory and the practical wisdom it contains to protect Indigenous worlds. What happens when we fail to remember our ancestors? And how is the act of remembering and sharing stories an act of resistance?

Opening Reception | Soft Shadows: Personal Paintings


Dominic Chambers showcases new paintings that continue the artist’s exploration of the intersections between art history, color theory, the ordinary, and the surreal. Referencing Carl Jung’s idea of the shadow-self, the artist’s Shadow Work paintings present a deeply personal perspective on how light and shadow interact against the backdrop of surrealism and art history. While Chambers is best known for his saturated canvases imbued with rich colors, Soft Shadows marks a subtle shift in his work. In these new paintings, Chambers renders personal and imagined narratives in black, white, and gray, set against bright washes of color or punctuated by strategic glimmers of prismatic light.
