A walkthrough with ECU Archivist Kristy Waller

100 Years in the Making | This event is organized in support of ECU 100, Emily Carr University of Art + Design’s centennial anniversary. 

Please join us on an exhibition tour of the exhibition En Route: mobile forms of art and education with ECU Archivist Kristy Waller. In preparation for the exhibition the staff of Libby Leshgold Gallery worked closely with Waller undertaking research on Emily Carr’s Outreach program. Waller will discuss her role as ECU’s first archivist, and her new zine series Remember? a zine series created in the ECU Archives sharing and recognizing stories from the past 100 years. The first zine is dedicated to the Outreach program, with copies available in the exhibition reading room.
