Spadina Museum Conversations: War and Myth-Making
1920s Torontonians struggled to make meaning of the First World War. Today we still struggle to find meaning in conflicts past and present.
Join Ian McKay, co-author with (Jamie Swift) of Warrior Nation: Rebranding Canada in an Age of Anxiety and Jonathan Vance, author of Death So Noble: Memory, Meaning, and the First World War in discussion. Part of “Spadina Museum Conversations - Myth Making: Zombies, War and the Art of Advertising”, a series of salon-style talks. Join in this series of participatory talks on topics that highlight how perspectives on movie monsters, pitching products and war have evolved from the 1920s to today.
