Showing off the wonders of Canadian agriculture preserved in glass jars, the Canadian pavilion at the 1886 Colonial Exhibition in London failed to acknowledge how "Canada's progress and resources" largerly relied on Indigenous people's and women's knowledge, workforce, and contribution. The plywood structure stands as a empty prop-like reproduction of a corner of that pavillion. On the shelves, the first sentence of feminist book about women's dairy knowledge from 1894 has been carved on the raw clay pots.
