Beakerhead

Beakerhead is honoured to be a platform for projects led by members of the community from all cultures. When Canada150 funding was received to tell the story of the ups and downs of human ingenuity, Beakerhead embarked on a project that would embody hope. Beakerhead did not celebrate the arrival of settlers 150 years ago and the beginning of the ne... ar devastation of people that had lived here for thousands of years. Instead, in consultation with members of Indigenous community, it told a science story that is about human beings, not colonial history. It is with a great deal of joy and respect that we stand behind the projects that make up Beakerhead. They are developed by Indigenous and non-Indigenous teams coming together, finding a new space between art and engineering, where everyone, of all cultures, genders and ages, feels welcome. A Spectacle of Art, Science, Engineering.Read More
