VAS Annual Art Show 2021

Art as Self-Care

As challenging as 2020 was, and 2021 has already been, self-care has become a main focus in all of our lives and it is time to display that through our art! Whether your piece was created as a means for you to relax, as something for others to enjoy, or if your art showcases the theme of Self-Care in any way, we are happy to share it with the McGill community!

Scroll through some amazing student art, as we celebrate and explore art as self-care:)

We would first like to acknowledge that this event is taking place on unceded Indigenous lands. We are on the traditional territory of the Kanien’keha:ka (Ga-niyeon-ge-haa-ga). This island that we call Montreal is known as Tiohtiá:ke (Joh-jah-gae) in the language of the Kanien’keha:ka and has historically served as a meeting place for other Indigenous nations, which today, is home to a diverse population of peoples. We acknowledge the continued connections with this colonialist past as reflected in the present ongoing experiences of Indigenous peoples within the Montreal community. We believe it is crucial to be informed on past and ongoing consequences of colonialism, and we encourage everyone to learn about the history of the land we live on. We also acknowledge that the McGill University downtown campus is situated on the former enslaver James McGill’s Burnside estate, in which he enslaved Black and Indigenous Peoples. We support and center community efforts of advancing truth and reconciliation for and with Black and Indigenous Peoples based on respect, dignity, trust, and cooperation.
