The Fredericton Arts Alliance Artist in Residence Program 2015 A collaborative music project this week in the Barracks. Continuing from last week until July 19 musicians and artists Natalie Sappier and Nate Miller are joining forces to create music as the Artists in Residence for the Fredericton Arts Alliance in the Soldiers’ Barracks. Natalie Sappier specializes in Aboriginal symbolism and storytelling of the Wolastoq and Maliseet People of New Brunswick. Nate Miller is a professional drummer, who has been involved in underground music scenes across Canada. He promotes and leads spiritual drumming events and teaches hand drumming. In 2007 he founded his own production company, Emanate 7. Miller will be recording the collaboration, and playing percussion. Sappier will be combining Aboriginal chanting with a dialog of sound and voice. Working collaboratively will be a new experience for them, and they are encouraging feedback from visitors, as part of their creative process. The Artists in Residence program continues throughout the summer, with two artists sharing the space for a week at a time. While there, they are prepared to demonstrate their work, their tools and techniques and talk about the things that inspire their creations. The studio is open 10am to 5pm, Monday through Saturday and noon to 5pm on Sunday. It’s the fourteenth year for the FAA program, which receives support from the city of Fredericton, Downtown Fredericton. For more information, please visit www.frederictonartsalliance.ca.

Hannah’s Tea Place is Becoming a Family Affair The Fredericton Region Museum is excited to announce the launch of the 5th annual Hannah’s Tea Place – but this year there’s a twist! Since Hannah is out of town for the summer visiting her aunt, her father will be looking after the Tea Place. Join Benjamin Ingraham at the Officers’ Quarters for an afternoon of irresistible iced tea, scrumptious snickerdoodle cookies, and engaging tales of life as a Loyalist in Ste. Anne’s Point. If you’re feeling crafty, you can even try your hand at rug hooking, one of Benjamin’s favourite pass times. Hannah’s dad will be at the Museum all summer long, and would love to have you drop by to enjoy some tasty treats, unique crafts, and stories about the life of a New Brunswick Loyalist. Hannah’s Tea Place runs every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoon from 1-4pm for the months of July and August. You can find Benjamin upstairs on the balcony of the Fredericton Region Museum, located at 571 Queen Street on the edge of Officers’ Square. As part of a community social project, all of Benjamin’s rug hooking projects will be donated to the Greener Village Community Food Centre. Any donations of yarn or burlap would be much appreciated (contact us at 455-6041). Discover more about Hannah’s Tea Place at facebook.com/hannahsteaplace. Back to top 5. Penny’s Flic Pic: The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared Jul 9 Shannex Parkland Fredericton is showing the comedy film The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed out the Window and Disappeared on July 9 at 2pm in the Carleton Theatre Governor Hall. After a long and colorful life working in munitions and getting entangled in the Spanish Civil War, the Manhattan Project, and other definitive events of the 20th Century, Allan Karlsson finds himself stuck in a nursing home. Determined to escape on his 100th birthday, he leaps out of a window and onto the nearest bus, kicking off an unexpected journey involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash, some wicked criminals, and an elephant named Sonya. Like an unruly Nordic cousin of Forrest Gump, Allan’s youthful escapades and current adventures weave together into an offbeat treat for anyone who’s young at heart. Starring beloved comedian Robert Gustafsson, this fanciful spin on world history is based on a best-selling novel and is also the highest-grossing Swedish film of all time.

    “... I think there is merit in just ’being.’ Somehow or other the greatest gift we have is the gift of our own consciousness, and that is worth savouring. Just to be in a place that’s so silent that you can hear the blood going through your arteries and be aware of your own existence, that you are matter that knows it is matter, and that this is the ultimate miracle.” – Christopher Pratt, artist 584 This painting entitled We Filled ‘Em To The Gunnells by Sheila Hollander shows what life possibly may have been like in XXX circa XXX. Fig. 3.4 Artist profiles 585 Artist profile Fig. 1 Angela Andrew Angela Andrew – Tea Doll Designer Innu tea dolls have been created by Nitassinan Innu of Quebec and Labrador for over a hundred years. (The earliest collected examples of tea dolls date back to the 1880s.) But today, Angela Andrew of Sheshatshiu is one of the few craftspeople keeping the tradition alive. She makes as many as 100 tea dolls a year – many of which are sold to art collectors. Angela learned the art of making tea dolls from Maggie Antoine, a woman from her father’s community of Davis Inlet. She learned her sewing skills from her parents, who originally lived a life of hunting and trapping in the bush. Angela played with tea dolls as a child. She explains that when her family travelled across Labrador, following the caribou and other game, everyone in the family helped pack and carry their belongings ‑ even the smallest children. Because of this, older women made dolls for the little girls and stuffed them with as much as a kilogram (two pounds) of loose tea leaves.

  • Sample Chapter
    6 courtesy Parks canada St. John’s Most people don’t come to Newfoundland for city life, but once in the province they invariably rave about St. John’s. The city is responsible for a good part of the province’s economic output, and is home to Memorial University. The 2006 census has the city population at a modest 100,000, but the metro area count is 180,000 and fast-growing. St. John’s is a region unto itself. It was the capital of the Dominion of Newfoundland and Labrador prior to Confederation with Canada in 1949. As such, it retains elements (and attitudes) of a national capital and is, of course, the provincial capital. St. John’s claim to be the oldest European- settled city in North America is contested, however, it is clear that it was an important fishing port in the early 1500s and received its first permanent settlers in the early 1600s. Moreover, there is no doubt that Water Street is the oldest commercial street in North America. Formerly known as the lower path, it was the route by which fishermen, servants, and traders (along with pirates and naval officers) moved from storehouse, to ware- house to alehouse. They did so in order to purchase or barter the supplies necessary to secure a successful voyage at the Newfoundland fishery. Centuries later, the decline of the fishery negatively affected St. John’s, but oil and gas discoveries, and a rising service sector, have boosted the city’s fortunes. For visitors, St. John’s memorably hilly streets, fascinating architecture, and spectacular harbour and cliffs make it the perfect place 7 to begin (or end) a trip to Newfoundland.

  • Preserving the Best Newfoundland's Cultural Movement, 1965-1983 by ©Mekaela Gulliver a Thesis Submitted to the School of Gr
    Preserving the Best Newfoundland’s Cultural Movement, 1965-1983 by ©Mekaela Gulliver A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History Memorial University of Newfoundland September 2014 St. John’s Newfoundland ii Abstract This study analyzes the cultural movement in the visual arts, theatre and music that occurred in Newfoundland between 1965 and 1983. Artists from the various artistic genres were influenced by both internal and external factors, and reacted to rapid political changes occurring in Newfoundland and artistic, musical, and theatrical trends that were popular in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. Members of the cultural movement reacted against modernization, urbanization, and industrialization that occurred during the period that Joseph Smallwood was Premier. Artists thought several of the choices made by this government led to an erosion of Newfoundland culture, and thus felt they needed to help preserve traditional culture. Yet, while artists viewed themselves as anti-authoritarian, they were aided in their artistic endeavours by institutions such as Memorial University, in particular Extension Service, which encouraged the preservation of heritage and promoted cultural productions. Music was one of the genres that artists used to help preserve the culture they feared was disappearing, and to demonstrate that Newfoundland culture was just as good as that anywhere else. Theatre was also important in the movement, and helped artists bring attention to the political issues they viewed as important. This study examines how Newfoundland artists reacted to a perceived loss of culture and identity.

Introduction The years after the Smallwood era saw continued change 1970 as eight new premiers led Newfoundland and Labrador from the 1970s through the first decade of the 2000s. Some of the changes that have occurred over the last 40 years have their roots in the last 500 years of our history and continue to play out today. Other changes have occurred because of new developments, such as the discovery of oil off our coast. The following timelines reflect some of the cultural, social, political, and economic events that have occurred in the last 40 years. While not all-encompassing, they indicate some of the milestones that have shaped who we are today.

  • Curating Canadianness: Public Service Broadcasting, Fusion Programming, and Hierarchies of Difference
    CURATING CANADIANNESS: PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING, FUSION PROGRAMMING, AND HIERARCHIES OF DIFFERENCE by © Rebecca Draisey-Collishaw A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Ethnomusicology Memorial University of Newfoundland October 2017 St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador ABSTRACT “Fusion programming” is an approach to music broadcasting that was employed by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) during the early years of the twenty-first century. It’s understandable as a response to systemic and systematic pressure to be “more multicultural.” It was about the artistry of musicians and entertainment of audiences, but fusion programming also served a didactic purpose for producers and listeners, participating in the production, elaboration, reinforcement, and/or deconstruction of existing cultural systems. Producing fusion programming involved bringing a minimum of two musicians/musical groups from different genres, languages, styles, scenes, and cultures into the same CBC-sponsored venue for the expressed purpose of performing together and discussing the challenges of collaboration. Performances, in many cases, were posited as “multicultural,” “cross cultural,” or “a collision of cultures,” and conversations framing the music often referenced diversity, multiculturalism, and difference, effectively mapping musicians’ positionality within Canadian society and geography. This study uses “ethnographically grounded” content analysis
