  • Exhibiting a Nation: Canada at the British Empire Exhibition, 1924–1925
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Histoire sociale / Social History (E-Journal, York University) Exhibiting a Nation: Canada at the British Empire Exhibition, 1924–1925 ANNE CLENDINNING* The British Empire Exhibition held in 1924 and 1925 presented a chance for Canada to assert a national identity and a prominent place, as a self-governing, “white” dominion, within the British imperial family of nations. Those responsible for the gov- ernment pavilion consciously sought to understate regional differences and to con- struct and project a unified, homogeneous image of the nation, despite its vast geographic distances and obvious differences of language and race. While their inten- tions were to attract investment and improve export markets for Canadian goods, the exhibition commissioners assembled a set of images intended to sum up the idea of Canada. The resulting national representation proved to be contested, fragmented, and sometimes controversial. But for Canadians who visited the exhibit, the pavilion seemed to speak on an emotional level, inspiring national identification and pride. L’Exposition de l’empire britannique de 1924 et de 1925 a permis au Canada d’affirmer son identité nationale et de se hisser au palmarès des dominions « blancs » du giron de l’Empire britannique. Les responsables du pavillon gouvernemental ont consciemment cherché à minimiser les différences régionales de même qu’à dépein- dre le Canada comme un pays homogène en dépit de son immensité géographique et de ses différences évidentes de langue et de race. Bien qu’ils cherchaient à séduire les investisseurs et à trouver des débouchés pour les produits canadiens à l’exportation, les commissaires à l’exposition ont assemblé un panorama d’images visant à résumer l’idée du Canada.

  • Cultural Collaboration, Connective Traditions, and Aboriginal Brass Bands on British Columbia's North Coast, 1875-1964
    “Here Comes the Band!”: Cultural Collaboration, Connective Traditions, and Aboriginal Brass Bands on British Columbia’s North Coast, 1875-1964* S USAN NEYLAN, WITH MELISSA MEYER Moment One: Susan Neylan In 2002, I visited Haida Gwaii (the Queen Charlotte Islands) for the first time. I was eager to see the new poles recently raised at Skidegate (in the summer of 2001) and the Haida-run museum at Kaay llnagaay. Along with a bit of natural history, the museum features, of course, Haida material culture. One room in particular is filled with historical pieces that most visitors associate with Haida artistic styles – poles, bentwood boxes, elaborately carved argillite. However, in the corner of this room, hanging on the wall, there are also two rather well-worn, obviously well-loved tubas and a big drum. Accompanying these is a photograph of the Skidegate marching brass band. The caption reads: “The band had won three competitions on the mainland in 1910, 1911, and 1912. The cup, brought home with the band after that third win, is now located in the Skidegate Band Office.”1 Nearly a hundred years since being won in the battle of the Aboriginal brass bands, the trophy is still held in high esteem by the village, and the inclusion of mementos of the brass band in their local museum suggests that the Haida value this musical past as cultural history. * Hartley Bay resident Simon Reece told us that when he was young, children who heard the village band strike up a tune used to call out: “Here comes the band … and the marriage,” referring to one of its most common public performative duties, which was to play at weddings (Margaret [neé Clifton] and Simon Reece, interviewed by Susan Neylan and Melissa Meyer at Hartley Bay, 18 July 2003).

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

  • The Crystal Palace in Canada
    THE CRYSTAL PALACE IN CANADA BY FERN E . M. GRAHAM In the first months of 1851, the Illustrated London News devoted a number of pages in every issue to preparations for the upcoming Great Exhibition. Through these pages the Empire watched with gathering excitement as the Crystal Palace, the technological marvel that would stand as the industrial exhibition's centrepiece, rose in Hyde Park (figure 1) . Every step of the process was illustrated -occasionally with a disregard for scale that rivalled Piranesi -and its architect, Joseph Paxton, was lionized. The exhibition opened in May, and very quickly the exhibition's illustrated catalogue spread the story of its wonders world-wide. In Kingston, Ontario, the City Book Store announced the arrival of the London Art Journal ... with Illustrated Catalogue of the Exhibition in September of 1851. 1 SSAC BULLETIN SEAC 19:1 • Figure 11.

ABSTRACT Exhibitions embody notions of power, culture, and history. The study of exhibitions from 1870 to 1915 in Winnipeg shows how a middle-class agenda dominated these events.
