Day 23- Kunst und Kultur

Meinen vierten Tag in Toronto beginne ich in aller Ruhe. Dann starte ich zu Fuß Richtung Royal Ontario Museum (ROM).

Vorbei an Straßenteilen von Queen West (erinnert mich an Brooklyn) und am Stadtviertel mit Kensington Market.

Und über den Uni-Campus (Hogwarts?).

Das ROM erinnert mich an eine Mischung aus dem MET in New York und dem Senckenberg-Museum in Frankfurt a.M., die auch erstklassig sind. Dinosaurierskelette, Mumien, Kunst, Artefakte aus verschiedenen Epochen und Kulturen, eine Ausstellung zur Biodiversität und weitere Themenbereiche gibt es im ROM zu entdecken.

Der Marsch heute hat sich definitiv gelohnt, für den Rückweg setze ich mich dann aber doch in eine Straßenbahn!

Preserving Sikh Heritage in Canada’s Budget 2024

Today, the Canadian government reaffirms its dedication to the rich and diverse tapestry that forms our nation. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's announcement of Budget 2024 includes pivotal investments aimed at preserving the vibrant heritage of Sikh Canadians. These measures not only celebrate a community integral to our national identity but also underscore Canada's belief in diversity as a source of strength.  

Building Bridges Through Art and History

In a significant move, the Royal Ontario Museum will soon house the new Gallery of Global Sikh Art and Culture. This initiative, bolstered by a $6 million investment, is a collaboration between the Sikh Arts and Culture Foundation and the museum. Furthermore, the gallery will spotlight Sikh contributions across various domains, from art and science to public service and commerce, enhancing the visibility of a pivotal Canadian community.   Documenting Shared Histories Additionally, the government will support the Indus Media Foundation with a $1.8 million investment to complete a poignant short film. This project chronicles the experiences of Canadian and Indian soldiers during the World Wars, a narrative that resonates with themes of sacrifice and unity. By capturing these shared histories, the film will serve as a crucial educational tool, fostering a deeper understanding among all Canadians.   Statements of Support Prime Minister Justin Trudeau emphasized that "the story of the Sikh community in Canada is, in fact, the story of Canada." This sentiment is echoed by Chrystia Freeland, Deputy Prime Minister, who noted the significant contributions of Sikh Canadians to the country's prosperity. Minister Kamal Khera and Minister Pascale St-Onge also highlighted the historical and ongoing contributions of Sikhs to Canada's cultural and social fabric.   Community and Continuity The narrative of Sikh Canadians is woven into the larger story of the nation, characterized by resilience and perseverance. The new initiatives in Budget 2024 aim not only to honor this legacy but also to ensure that the future generations recognize and value these contributions. By investing in such cultural projects, the government sends a powerful message about the importance of community and continuity in our multicultural landscape.   Conclusion Through strategic investments in arts and education, Budget 2024 represents a progressive step towards preserving and celebrating the Sikh heritage within Canada's multicultural mosaic. Moreover, it reflects a commitment to inclusivity and respect for all cultures, reinforcing the notion that our diversity truly is our strength. As these projects unfold, they promise to enrich the Canadian cultural scene and foster a deeper, more inclusive understanding of the nation's history and its people.  

Engaging Through Education and Art

This structured approach to preserving Sikh Canadian heritage is not merely about honoring the past; it is about building a foundation for future generations. By creating spaces that educate and celebrate diversity, Canada is ensuring that the stories of its Sikh community—and indeed all its communities—are known and appreciated. This commitment to cultural preservation is an essential part of what makes Canada a vibrant and inclusive society.   Final Thoughts As we look forward to the developments and projects funded by Budget 2024, let us also take personal steps towards inclusivity. Engaging with our nation’s history, supporting cultural initiatives, and promoting diversity are actions we can all take. Together, we can ensure that the rich tapestry of Canadian heritage continues to grow, reflecting the strength and spirit of all its people.   Sources: THX News & The Canadian Government.

I'm a few days late on this!! Happy 100th Birthday to #NOSFERATU!!! . Nosferatu premiered on March 4th, 1922 at the Berlin Zoological Garden, for a large society event - Das Fest des Nosferatu. The movie was directed by #FWMurnau & starred #MaxSchreck. . FUN FACT: The #BramStoker estate sued for copyright infringement & had all but a few copies of the film destroyed. Yet it survived & became part of the zeitgeist of horror films & pop culture. . If you couldn't tell I'm a BIG FAN of classic horror movies... . In 2014, I designed an art print of NOSFERATU for my solo show #SCREAMWITHME at @GalerieF. I drew NOS in profile with another drawing of his skeleton as a #glowinthedark layer. That was a lot of fun (and a lot of work)! Being someone who tries to use every part of the buffalo, I used the artwork for a patch, enamel pin (collab with @yesterdays.co), & a keychain! You can all that in my SHOP! . In 2019, I was commissioned by @kirkhammett and his management to create 2 posters for his #romitsalive at the @romtoronto in Canada! I knew NOS was a favorite of Kirk's so I pitched the vampire lurching over the #RoyalOntarioMuseum with a bunch of bats flying around. It worked! Kirk's social media dude asked if I knew the ROM had a permanent bat exhibit. No, I didn't. I was too dumb to lie. . @dj_jefecita and I got flown out to check out the exhibit and catch Hammett and Rob Trujilo's #theweddingband perform. Funny enough we ended up meeting the guys for breakfast while we were there. They also made ltd edition guitar picks with my art on them! SO CRAZY!!! . If you want to see the making of videos that @t_moorfilms made of me working on those posters - go here https://vimeo.com/350812432 . Last is the next piece I'm working on. It's just a sketch. I'm putting together a series of bat-related pieces for a new set of flash or if all else fails I can use it as another business card like the last post - done in the same style. . . . . . #screenprint #illustration #worldwired #detail #darkartist #design #theskullreserve #brianewing #brianewingfiendclub #illustration #kirkhammettfans #RobTrujilo #MetFamily #kirkhammett #CountOrlok #KirkVonHammett #fearfestevil (at Wisborg) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca2SlAHOPPA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Dress created by the Atelier of Rose Bertin (probably) for the Queen Marie Antoinette (and altereted in the late XIX century) The clothing items belonged to her and survived until today are very very rare so this is an incredible and stunning piece. The dress is now at the Royal Ontario Museum of Toronto. #marieantoinette #mariaantonietta #marieantoinettedress #rosebertin #royalontariomuseum #rococo #18thcenturyfashion #18thcenturystyle #rococodress #pink #fashion #versailles #chateaudeversailles #royals #robealanglaise #baroque #paris @carolineweber https://www.instagram.com/p/BzhoBlOIGVr/?igshid=1dmwgfwregecr

And it rained And I didn’t clean my lens, so it gradually got worse. Worse? I used to live so close to ROM, and used to see photographers shooting it at night all the time. But for some unknown reason I never did. Or maybe I wasn’t crazy enough to take all my gear with me all the time. It was my chance last night. It started with birdwatching in Tommy Thompson park. Many new duck species for me and a beautiful skyline later, slowly waking up as it got darker. Then Greek Town, and finally ended up further west, here. The drive back home was fun though specially north of 401. All the rain you got in Toronto, it snowed in Richmond Hill. I can’t even get out if the house now 😃 Shot on #Canon R5 + EF 16-35 f/2.8 ii on #manfrotto Element Tags: #shotoncanon #shareyourweather #yourshotphotographer #cbcyourgta #streetsoftoronto #romtoronto #royalontariomuseum #thetorontolove #tdot_shots #streetphotography #rainystreet #rainphotography #longexposure #lightstreaks (at ROM - Royal Ontario Moseum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnW6u88uTYx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
