Current Exhibit

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. It can be found in the Grebel Gallery, level 4, Conrad Grebel University College. This free exhibit will run from Tuesday, April 1 to Tuesday, June 17. 

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 cpacoordinator@uwaterloo.ca if there’s anything we can do to make your visit easier and more welcoming.
