Tales from the Mennonite Heritage Archives: Episode 38
Marta speaking at an event in 1983. MHA 6491-25-2.
Host Dan Dyck presents the life of artist Marta Armin (born Goertzen, 1923-2009). Marta was born into a large family in the village of Chortitz, Manitoba. Her creativity was noted throughout her life, but following a series of major shifts starting at 60, her artistic life bloomed. Part of this growth included a series of works reminiscing on her childhood in southern Manitoba – 60 of which are at the Mennonite Heritage Archives in the Marta Goertzen-Armin Collection. Humorous and often touching, these drawings present a unique and often surprising image of life in a small Manitoba Mennonite village.
