Lecture | From Shadow to Light: a transversal regards of the Anna Lois Dawson Harrington archives

By Hélène Samson and Nathalie Houle.

Beyond the watercolors painted by Anna Lois Dawson Harrington (1851-1917), how can we understand her personality? In conversation with curator Hélène Samson and exhibition researcher Nathalie Houle, discover how travel shaped Anna Lois' life. A travel diary (1865) and her abundant correspondence provide anecdotes and commentary that reveal the strong character of this woman, as well as aspects of the society of her time.

Reservation is not required.

This activity is free for the members of Les Amis des Jardins de Métis and for people who have paid their entrance fee to the Jardins de Métis.

The exhibition Light and Fog is at the Estevan Lodge of the Reford Gardens, June 1 to October 6, 2024
Anna Lois Dawson Harrington (1851-1917), watercolourist
