Portraits of Women – Beyond the Stones
Through the lens of photographer and activist storytelling, ALIPH, the International Alliance for the Protection of Heritage, pays tribute to the women on the front lines of cultural memory: architects, archaeologists, curators, conservators and volunteers who, day after day, stand between our shared heritage and the forces that threaten it - armed conflict, climate change, natural disaster. Eight portraits from Afghanistan to Yemen, Ukraine to Iraq, and a celebration of courage.
Then we will visit the Gift Shop at the Native Canadian Cultural Centre.
