Against the Grain: Mennonite Archives, Indigenous Histories
Archival Exhibit. Mennonite Archives of Ontario Gallery and Milton Good Library, 3rd Floor at Conrad Grebel.
May 2022 - April 2024

Brush a piece of napped fabric against the grain and contrasting colours and patterns appear. Historians read documents against the grain to make visible multiple and diverse experiences of the past. Reading against the grain is one way to uncover hidden Indigenous histories and colonial legacies. Curated by Archivist Laureen Harder-Gissing, this exhibit features documents from the Mennonite Archives of Ontario that invite viewers to practice reading histories of Indigenous and Mennonite encounter against the grain.
