Truth and Reconciliation



At sunrise tomorrow a fire will be lit at the Sacred Fire Site on the Pacific National Exhibition grounds to mark the opening of the Canadian federal government's Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Vancouver.

For those interested in submitting art works to the Truth and Reconciliation's National Research Centre open call,  click here. For those who want to read the consent form first, click here. For those interested in the form's "Option A - Public Education Consent" segment (and my bold low-lights), see below:


OPTION A - PUBLIC EDUCATION CONSENT

By signing this consent, the Artist acknowledges that the TRC and NRC shall have the unfettered right to use the Artist's work, on its own or in combination with the works of others, and to use the Artist's name, face, voice, and other identifying information, on websites, in reports, in all forms of educational materials and media, in documentary films, television and radio commercials, in computer-based and all other forms of media now or hereafter known, for public education purposes and otherwise in furtherance of the mandates of the TRC and NRC.

The TRC and NRC may edit, translate, juxtapose and synchronize the Artist's work as necessary for such purposes. 

The TRC and NRC may make the artistic work available for use by third parties where the TRC or NRC is of the opinion that the third party will use the work for public information purposes in a dignified manner that respects the Artist, including through film, TV and other media. The TRC and NRC will take care to protect the integrity of the artistic work but will not be liable if the Artist is not satisfied with the way in which the TRC or NRC or third parties have rendered the work.

The Artist also understands that by signing this Consent, he/she will not have any legal rights or claims against those who use my identifying information, photographs or documents in the above manner. The TRC will ensure that any use of the Artist's work is appropriately credited in all instances that the Artist's work is used, unless the Artist advises that he/she does not wish such credit to be given.

The Artist may revoke this consent for purposes subsequent to the receipt of the revocation, by providing written instruction to the TRC or NRC.

By signing this Consent, the Artist grants and gifts to the TRC the right to use the Artist’s work for the PUBLIC EDUCATION PURPOSES described below.
