<p class="MsoNormal"><b>The Mush Hole Project, 2016<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Mush Hole Project was an immersive, site-specific art and performance event that took place at the Woodland Cultural Centre (Brantford) in 2016. This collaborative project aimed to respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission
of Canada's Calls to Action and to preserve, query, and reveal the complex personal, political, and public narratives around Canada’s residential school system, in general, and the Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School, in particular.
