Tuesday Night Talks
6:30 pm
Katherine Knight presents her online portrait of the one of the Museum’s most popular artifacts, The Goose Boat of Merigomish (near the entrance of the Small Craft Gallery). This small, hand cranked, wooden craft was used to hunt Brant Geese during the spring and fall migrations in the years before the Migratory Bird Act of 1917. Knight’s Goose Boat portrait is on permanent display at the Pictou Library and Cultural Hub.
Katherine Knight is recognized for her evocative photographic art and documentary art and culture films. In 2000, Knight received the Duke and Duchess of York Prize from the Canada Council recognizing excellence in Photography. In 2006, Knight founded Site Media Inc, to create films on artists and creative process in relation to experiences of place. Site Media’s award-winning films have played worldwide through festivals, television broadcast and post-secondary distribution.
