Angels of Colour: A Youth Project Celebrating the 175th Anniversary of Stewart Memorial Church
On view July 3 to August 29, 2010
Youth from the Stewart Memorial Church community have collaborated on a large scale mural that shows images of angels of colour. The piece is a comment on stereotypical images of angels as white and cherub-like, and is created with the artistic direction of Roger Ferreira. The work represents unity of the sacred and the secular; of historic stereotypes and contemporary understandings; and unity of mainstream art practices and marginalized practices such as graffiti art. The mural shows what Black History means to Stewart Memorial Church; and in turn what Stewart Memorial Church means to Hamilton.
