The Chamber of Red Thread is on display at the WongAvery Asia Pacific Peace Museum (APPM) till end September 2024 due to the generosity of Shane Clodd, the amazing Head of Visual Arts, Unionville High School York Region District School Board. It was moved from the Aga Khan on Friday June 14, 2024 when a Seat at the Table exhibition ended.

Thank you to Tracy-Mae Chambers, Metis artist, who worked with the students and Mr. Shane Clodd.

Thank you to the brilliant creativity and storytelling of the Grade 12 students in his class, bringing together Metis art, technology, mathematics, and the Chinese cultural symbolism of the Red Thread as counter narratives to anti-Asian racism.

To quote the students: “Traditionally, the concept of the Red Thread signified the unseen ties that connect us to those with whom we shared significant life lessons. Beyond its individual symbolism, the Red Thread extended to encompass connections within families, communities, and the collective whole of human beings. It represents the threads of fate that weave through our lives, intertwining our stories and influencing our paths. This concept resonated universally, reflecting the intricate tapestry of human experience within the grand narrative of existence."
