On September 18, 2016 I led the Thinking Through the Museum group on a walking tour I helped develop with the Museum of Jewish Montreal called Work Upon Arrival based on oral histories collected in the 1970s by Seemah Berson in her book I Have a Story to Tell You. The tour was later reinterpreted as the Museum’s first pop up exhibit Parkley Clothes: 1937. I guided participants on the physical version of this tour developed for Jane’s Walks. En route, participants tested a variety of interpretive tools used in the digital and physical version of the tour. In addition, given the historical and contemporary presence of Indigenous people on the terrain traversed by the tour, participants were invited to discuss, among other questions: how can the story of early 20th c. Jewish immigrants productively intersect with Indigenous stories past and present? Check out the photo gallery.
