This week's 'Feature Friday' is showcasing a past project undertaken by the Centre for Race and Culture and Jasper Place High School entitled 'YEG: A Living History'.

Drama students from Jasper High School developed and presented a live, interactive installation that explores Edmonton’s race relations both past and present. Students undertook this project in a thoughtful and vulnerable way, identifying hope as the primary goal for their work.

Students were guided through a series of workshops for months before the performance, utilizing drama to explore a historical timeline of race relations in Edmonton. The workshops included lessons and discussions on various topics such as: Truth and Reconciliation, challenging the narrative of Canada, colonization, race and racism, how to gather and share stories from our communities, and guest speakers from ethnocultural and Indigenous community members. Students then developed vignettes for this final public performance. The workshops were facilitated by Michelle Kennedy alongside drama teacher Edith Mitchell.

This project took some inspiration from an earlier project conducted the year before, which you'll find out more about in the next Feature Friday series! ...
