The gallery space is accessible via elevator (level 4 wheelchair icon). It can also be uniquely visited through an audio tour created by the curators. Please reach out to the Centre's Coordinator if there’s anything we can do to make your visit easier and more welcoming.
I think art is always conflict. You’re trying to bring two worlds together somehow in a way that makes sense.
This retrospective exhibit orbits themes of disability, abuse, suffering, belief, unbelief, destruction, and regeneration. It features over 50 pieces of art made by Elizabeth Ann Wenger (1946-2022), a Mennonite artist who lived and worked in Goshen, Indiana.
Liz used textile arts – line drawings, needlework, and poetry – to express themes that are both religious and universal. Placing pain and joy side by side, she reimagines familiar narratives in form, colour and symbolism, finding love and grace everywhere. Liz encourages us to not settle for less.
The exhibit is curated by Carol Penner, Director of Theological Studies at Conrad Grebel University College, and Sadie Ingle, a current Masters of Theological Studies student.
The exhibit can be found in the Grebel Gallery, on the 4th floor of Conrad Grebel University College. This free exhibit will run from Tuesday, April 1 to Tuesday, June 17.
