Museum of Surrey in British Columbia, Canada Announces Three Fall 2026 Exhibitions: The Many Layers of Hair Through April 25, 2027, Two Shows End December 19
SURREY, British Columbia, Canada — The Museum of Surrey announced its 2026 fall exhibits lineup on November 2. The Feature Exhibit, The Many Layers of Hair, runs from November 3, 2026, to April 25, 2027. In the Indigenous Hall, visitors can explore Where are the Children? Healing the Legacy of Residential Schools, and the Community Treasures exhibit Awakening the Boundless: The Inner Architecture of the Self; both are on display until December 19, 2026. The museum states that although the exhibits have very different subject matter, all are relevant, interactive and educational.
According to the City of Surrey release, The Many Layers of Hair uses imagery and interactives to explore how hair practices reflect cultural traditions, personal beliefs and individual choices across cultures and generations, examining the complex relationship between hair and identity, including the ongoing impact of hair discrimination. Where are the Children?, a Legacy of Hope Foundation exhibition, uses archival photographs and documents to tell the stories of the 125-year history of the residential school system in Canada, moving visitors through leaving home, arriving at school and classroom life. Awakening the Boundless, by Surrey artist Haisha Shahalimi, uses mixed materials, finishes and lighting to bring ideas of humanity and the universe into everyday life.
Museum manager Lynn Saffery said the museum seeks to engage Surrey's communities and visitors through experiences that are both relevant and engaging, and that the three exhibits challenge visitors to reflect on their place and impact in Surrey and the world.
