THELMA ROSNER 

Picture
Thelma Rosner
Thelma Rosner is a visual artist based in London Ontario. She began as a painter and has since worked in media including printmaking and installation, but painting remains at the root of her practice.

Rosner's work is related to events or ideas in the world. Over the decades, she has investigated subjects such as feminism, food and culture, conflict and immigration, from the point of view of her identity as a first generation Jewish Canadian. She has been particularly interested in two issues; the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Holocaust.

Currently, Rosner is collecting narratives from immigrants to Canada, and developing a bookwork inspired by these stories.

For more information, please visit her website.

OUR STORY
​
Artists Jamelie Hassan and Ron Benner and jazz musician Eric Stach founded the Embassy Cultural House (1983-1990) located in the restaurant portion of the Embassy Hotel at 732 Dundas Street in East London. Other former members of the board were: Debrann Eastabrook, Henry Eastabrook, Sharron Forrest, Wyn Geleynse, Janice Gurney, Jean Hay (1929 - 2008), Doug Mitchell, Kim Moodie, Gerard Pas, Peter Rist, Wanda Sawicki, Jean Spence and Jennie White.

In 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Embassy Cultural House was re-envisioned as a virtual artist-run space and website. 

​London, Ontario is on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Lenape, Attawandaron and Huron-Wendat peoples, at the forks of Deshkan Ziibi (Antler River), an area subject to the Dish with One Spoon Wampum and other treaties.

Thank you to our supporters
