Faces of 1812

A video about the exhibition Faces of 1812 with curator Michael Eamon.
Faces of 1812 showcases some of the men and women, both combatants and civilians, who experienced the War of 1812. It presents the conflict as a rich and continuing source of artistic inspiration, commemoration, and reflection.

The War of 1812 united French- and English-speaking Canadians, First Peoples, and the British against a common foe. The confidence gained through their successful joint defence helped lay the foundation for modern Canada.

Faces of 1812 complements a related exhibition entitled 1812, now running at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. Both exhibitions are on view at the museum until January 6, 2013.
