SUMMARY:The Landscape is Dead- Anna Gaby-Trotz and Richelle Forsey
DESCRIPTION:Hours are Wednesday – Saturday\, 3pm – 5pm until November 2nd \nCan you (we) save the world by looking? \nThe idea of wilderness – land uncultivated and uninhabited by human beings – raises questions about how much truly natural land is left in a world that values the production of goods over people and the land. Through collage and digital montage of our photographs of agriculture\, land-management\, resource extraction sites\, utilities infrastructure\, the aftermath of forest fires\, icebergs\, development sites\, refuse\, development\, and destruction\, we open up our individual practices to collective thought and authorship through creative play and collaboration used to create this new body of work. \nThe language of hope and despair is woven into this work through screen printed text and images. The camera is a tool of agency and the collaborative process a de-centering of individual artist authorship to prioritize our explorations and the invitation for slow looking. \nHere\, in Wyndham’s 3rd Floor Gallery\, “The Landscape is Dead” reflects the intersection of the landscape and the built environment for contemplation\, to illuminate the complex and troubling questions about human impacts on the natural world.

SUMMARY:Berene Campbell speaks at Royal City Quilters Guild
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Lecture \nALL TOGETHER NOW: Harnessing hope by working together for change.\nIn her talk Berene encourages leaning into discomfort and tells the story of how her work has evolved by embracing the emotional ride that the past few years have been for us all. \nTo quote Berene from her website: \n“Quilts hold the spirit of their makers\, and the secrets of their thoughts pondered while stitching. They are beautiful treasures that provide us with warmth & comfort\, but they can do more for us if we so choose. Quilts can be posters for our ideas\, messengers of our messages\, and uniters of our communities. They hold great power.” \n\n\nBerene’s Bio\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBerene Campbell of Happy Sew Lucky is a modern quilt designer\, speaker and community project instigator. Her quilting and sewing patterns feature inspiring messages of positivity and hope\, with the goal of making the world a kinder and more peaceful place. A “collective energy” enthusiast\, Berene uses quilting to corral fellow creatives to work together for change. These projects include collaborative community installations\, fundraisers for social justice causes\, and the Handmade Collective Awards – a scholarship fund at Toronto Metropolitan University set up for the maker community to fund awards for BIPOC and 2SLGBTQ+ students. \nBerene’s website: https://happysewlucky.com/ \n\n\nVisit http://rcqg.square.site to purchase a $10 guest pass.

SUMMARY:Entrelazados: Justin Favela Opening Party & Artists’ Introduction
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening party celebrating Entrelazados: Justin Favela and an introduction to the exhibition by the Las Vegas-based visiting artist. Investigating his own heritage and identity as a queer\, Latinx\, Guatemalan-Mexican-American born in the southwestern United States\, Favela’s work remixes popular culture\, lived traditions\, and art history as a way to amplify the interwoven influences on personal and collective experiences. From sculptures to a new site-specific immersive installation\, Favela adapts simple materials like cardboard\, paper\, tape\, and glue to speak to the powerful interwoven legacies that shape one’s everyday existence and how they converge within collective histories of migration and community. \nMarking the first exhibition of Justin Favela’s work in Canada\, all are welcome to this free event; refreshments and a cash bar will be available. Don’t miss this opportunity to meet the artist and explore the vibrant celebration of cultural heritage and creativity at the heart of his work. \nImage detail: Justin Favela\, Recuérdame (detail)\, 2018\, paper and glue on wall.
