How do we commemorate war? Whose stories get told? And when do we tell them? Join The Rooms and Memorial University for Dialogue and Debate: Questioning Commemorations to challenge our ideas and preconceptions on what it means to remember.
Dialogue and Debate is an event series that invites experts from Memorial University to discuss and expand on the collections and exhibitions featured at The Rooms. The discussions are lively, informative and designed for the public.
This is a free event but a ticket is required. Reserve your free ticket online or by calling (709)757-8090.
