Dr Sara Komarnisky is an anthropologist and Post Doctoral Fellow at the University of Alberta.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

Her research in public health introduced her to the tuberculosis crisis of the 1940’s and 1950’s, and the Indian hospitals set up by the federal government at that time.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

In Edmonton, for example, there was the Charles Camsell Hospital where patients produced thousands of pieces of artwork during their convalesence.  <\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

DR SARA KOMARNISKY: <\/strong> <\/span>So there were hospitals like this across Canada.  I think there were over 20 of them.  So another part of my work is trying to document those hospitals as well, their handicraft programs, and try and learn a little bit about where those pieces ended up.  For example, one that I’m working on is a set of carvings at the McCord Museum in Montreal.  And those all came from the Parc Sivard Hospital in Quebec City. That was a former immigration hospital and it was converted into a tuberculosis hospital kind of around the same time period that the Camsell was.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Sara Komarnisky says her research is part of a larger project at the University of Alberta.  It’s called "Object Lives and Global Histories of Northern North America".<\/span><\/p>\n
