What is Canada’s Self Portrait?

Canada’s Self Portrait is a collaborative art project about who we are and what we stand for as Canadians.

Over 800 participants from all 13 provinces and territories filled out a one-page worksheet that included a quick drawing about Canadian identity. Those sketches were re-produced and integrated into a larger artwork that was exhibited, along with the official documentary, at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 in Halifax.
