Ryan Premises Historic Site 

 

Located on the edge of the Atlantic in Bonavista, Newfoundland, the Ryan Premises Historic Site tells the story of the region’s fishing history. However, like many long-standing exhibits, it was time to reflect on the stories that had been left out. Parks Canada invited our team to help reimagine a more inclusive, critical, and layered experience for visitors to this National Historic Site.

​​

Our work focused on designing thoughtful additions to the preexisting exhibit. We created interpretive panels and small interventions that invite visitors to consider who tells the stories in heritage spaces, and whose voices have historically been missing. The additions were designed to complement the existing exhibit while gently encouraging deeper thought and conversation.

​

This was a project rooted in reflection, humility, and open dialogue, and we were honoured to be part of it.

Walking with Gratitude and Intent

At Fenwood Creative, our work is rooted in place. We share stories of the land across Turtle Island (North America). We honour the deep knowledge and enduring relationships that Indigenous communities hold with the land, water, and all living things. Their stories are inseparable from the places we interpret, and we are committed to uplifting Indigenous voices and centering them in our work. 

​

We are grateful to live, work, play, and raise our families on Treaty 6 Territory (the traditional and current lands of the Cree, Saultaux, Nakota, Sioux, and Dene), the Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4, and the unceded traditional territory of the Ktunaxa Nation. We commit to listening, learning, and walking alongside Indigenous Peoples with respect and humility.
