NL Deaf Choir: Documentary and Panel Discussion
Date: Sep 25
7:00 pm
- 8:00 pm
Where: Theatre
In 2019, an awareness campaign was launched to help hearing communities learn more about Deaf culture. This campaign ignited a passion within our Deaf community for promoting language and culture rights, and it gave rise to the formation of the NL Deaf Choir.
Please join us for a short documentary that shares our Deaf community’s journey from campaign to choir, and most importantly, to the transformation within our collective communities that is making space for our silent minority in song.
The documentary will be followed by a panel discussion with members of the NL Deaf Choir as they share their experiences.
This is a free event, but a ticket is required. Please reserve your free ticket online or by calling (709)757-8090.
Today's Events & Programs
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon with Gemma Hickey, renowned author, humanitarian, and architect of change.
Gemma does not simply tell stories; they move systems. From quiet rooms to global stages, grassroots movements to halls of power, Gemma’s voice has challenged governments, confronted the Catholic Church, and amplified the rights and recognition of marginalized communities worldwide. Their art and advocacy rise from lived experience, razor-sharp insight, and a wit that disarms even as it demands attention.
In this candid conversation, Gemma reflects on childhood, gender fluidity, and a life lived beyond the boundaries others tried to impose. Anchored by the enduring love of their Nan, these stories trace a powerful arc; from vulnerability to resilience, silence to truth, survival to change, and show how one voice, spoken without fear or apology, can echo far beyond the room, changing lives, laws, and futures at home and beyond.
The event includes a live audience Q&A. Includes admission to the exhibition Erica Rutherford: Her Lives and Works.
Tickets: $12 plus HST. Free for Rooms members. Get your tickets online or by calling 709-757-8090.
