Embracing Differences: Mending the Isms and the Schisms Opening Reception
The Nave Gallery in Teele Square, in partnership with the Clarendon Hill Presbyterian Church, opens a new exhibition.
Is inequality the defining issue of our time? How does injustice show its face in our community? What impossible heights can we achieve as a society by embracing difference as strength? Racism, sexism and economic inequality are still systemic and deeply personal in America today, both influencing and influenced by global inequities. What does it take to mend the things that divide us? How do we let in the light?

The exhibition will be part of the Learn to Talk Social Justice Series organized by the CHPC from September through November, including opportunities for action, education and reflection.
