"History
is ours. It is the people who make it."
Salvador Allende The Museo Solidaridad Museum is a project of Latin American Art Projects and The Salvador Allende Arts Festival for Peace. The collective Chileno-Canadian experience has been mediated through documentaries, newspapers, journals and textbooks. These are mediums that tell a story in a supposed objective, rational and unified voice. Who is speaking with that voice? Who decides what stories are told? What about the stories told at the kitchen table and the memories sitting in our closets? These are part of our history. Museo Solidaridad Museum is an attempt to synthesize the emerging official story with our personal experience in order to give rise to a diverse and intimate collective memory. |

Museo Solidaridad
Museum is a community endeavour. Traditionally museums have represented a scientific study and documentation of history. They are institutions and often officiated by those with the means and the funds. Our museum by contrast is an ongoing process, a living memory waiting to be realized - a reinvention of the idea of museum.  |
We
invite the Chileno-Canadian community to take part in the creation
of our history. We will be holding fundraising initiatives and community
forums throughout the summer. We ask for our community's financial
support and participation. For more information please contact Rodrigo Barreda by phone at 416-530-1552 or by email at barreda@sympatico.ca We are requesting
from the community. |
