Peace | Paix \u2013 Stories of Peace
\n& Art at MAGMA<\/h1>\n

February 4, 2026<\/p>\n

MAGMA had the honour of hosting Peace | Paix \u2013 Stories of Peace & Art<\/strong>, a thoughtful and inspiring gathering that brought our community together to reflect on peace, dialogue, and the role of art in shaping our shared understanding. The event created a space for meaningful connection, inviting participants to pause, listen, and engage with stories rooted in compassion and hope.<\/p>\n

A highlight of the afternoon was the unveiling of Wounded Peace<\/em><\/strong>, a striking and emotionally resonant artwork by the late Claude Roussel<\/strong>, a pioneer of modern Acadian art and an influential figure in our region\u2019s cultural landscape. This piece serves not only as an artistic legacy but also as a reminder of the ongoing work required to cultivate peace in our communities.<\/p>\n

We were privileged to welcome several distinguished guests whose presence added depth to this moment, including City of Moncton Acting Mayor Paulette Th\u00e9riault<\/strong>, Anne\u2011Marie Collette<\/strong> (Peace Matters Moncton), Mateo Gomez\u2011Angulo<\/strong> (ACIC), Suzanne Roussel<\/strong>, and Joanne Duguay<\/strong>. Their participation underscored the shared commitment of local leaders, partners, and community members to advancing dialogue around peace.<\/p>\n
