The exhibit offers people an opportunity to hear directly from the people featured by clicking on a video. There is audio and also text as they speak. It is an opportunity to see something through another person’s eyes and gain an understanding of what they have experienced and the effect it has had on them.
The Sawubona exhibit aims to recognize the beauty and worth of all people.
From March 9-13 Sawubona will be at Medicine Hat College, from March 16-20 it will be at Medicine Hat city hall in the Helen Benny lounge between 11 a.m. and noon. From March 23-31 you can see it at Medicine Hat Public Library.
The exhibit was created by the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo in partnership with the Coalition Creating Equity.
