Workshops

[Details to be added]

Carr House acknowledges and thanks the Lkwungen People, also known as the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations communities, for allowing us to live, work and play on their lands. We also give thanks to the ancestors, supernatural ones, hereditary leaders and matriarchs, creatures big and small for looking after the rich resources and cultural teachings of this beautiful land.

This Session (for International Poetry Day, 2024, and Australia Day, 2025) was based on a book by Dr.s Dorothy Jones and Anne Collett, my former mentors: Chief Investigators, for whom I worked on The Fabric(ation)s of The Postcolonial: Trading Identities through Fabrics of Change (intertextuality methodology), an interdisciplinary (English, Art and Cultural Anthropology academic Australian Research Council Discovery Grant) work, researched during my Doctorate at the University of Wollongong. Jones and Collett subsequently spent a decade writing the scholarly book comparing/contrasting the lives of these two women: Carr, a Canadian (1871-1945) and Wright, an Australian (1915-2000) writer, each inspired by the other: Judith Wright and Emily Carr: Gendered Colonial Modernity (Historicizing Modernism).

Lycia thanks Shannon, Executive Director and Jude, Events Management and Public Relations/Curator, 2025 and Pascale Halliday, Historical Programmer, Author, Curator, 2024.
