Tributaries: New Works by Emily Rose Michaud

EXHIBIT // April 7 through June 23, 2018
LOCATION // Mississippi Valley Textile Museum, 3 Rosamond Street East, Almonte, Ontario (map)
HOURS // Tuesday to Sunday, from 10AM – 4PM

Tributaries explores the power and presence of water — past, present, and future. This interdisciplinary exhibit draws on local and regional experiences with hydropower, watersheds, water bodies, dams, and water flows — from Almonte to Maniwaki — incorporating historical elements related to immigrant labour and the wool industry. The exhibit features Emily Rose Michaud’s living tapestries, cyanotype drawings, maps, and paintings, layered with the sounds of water, Gaelic folk song, social and political speech, and music from Esmerine’s atmospheric melodies.
