The Glucksman Art Library has created a collection of artworks that help people think about important topics in today’s world. These amazing pieces of art are shared with schools, community centers, and hospitals all over the country. Along with showing the art in these places, the Glucksman also offers fun online activities and learning tools to help people connect with art and come up with their own ideas.We are very excited to have a beautiful, original artwork, Family and Identity by the artist and author, Mary Murphy on display in our school.
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The child has the right to know and live with their family, to have a name and to be granted a nationality. The child has the right to evolve their identity in their own culture, to practice their own religion and to use their own language. ‘Family’ is not defined in the Convention, although the Convention recognises it can encompass extended family and others. This image depicts a group of young bears of different
colours learning to make their mark in the world by emulating their family elders and then imprinting their identity in their own unique way.
