Thu-it [Truth], an immersive, multi-media experience.

Our series of community snapshots are an interactive source of information on statistics, trends, issues, and reasons to celebrate our successes in the Cowichan Region.
We are conducting community research on a range of topics. Please take some time to share your thoughts!
Thu-it [Truth]
Open now!
Thu-it [Truth] starts with Thu-itstuhw [Telling the Truth]
Immerse yourself in an interactive multi-media visual and sensory experience that takes you through time to learn and experience 150+ years of colonial history and the impacts it has and continues to have on Indigenous communities, families and individuals. Told through the experiences of a group of Quw’utsun’ Elders, participants will reconsider history and understand all that we have to learn from Indigenous world views, values and ways of knowing.
Thu-it (pronounced Tha eet) debuts from September 6 through October 6 2022 at the CVAC gallery in Duncan.
