Hello In There/Hello Out There is an exhibition of artwork created by senior citizens under the direction of artist Chrystene Ells through Common Weal Community Arts. This project encouraged participants to share personal narratives, life stories, and memories through art making and storytelling, thus allowing for re-engagement, self-expression, and achievement amidst loss, uncertainty, and reflection.
Special thanks goes to Rowan Pantel and Berny Hi who also worked on this project.
Chrystene Ells is a filmmaker, puppetmaker, performer, and interdisciplinary artist. She worked in film and theatre in San Francisco for 20 years before relocating to Regina, where she has won numerous awards for work, which is often engages community members as producers. Ells received her MFA from the University of Regina in Film/Theatre/Visual Art.
This project was made possible by the support from Saskatchewan Arts Board Creative Partnerships, Community Initiatives Fund, Saskatchewan Lotteries, Government of Canada, New Horizons for Seniors Program, and Canada Council for the Arts
