SUMMARY:Printing in the Park: Liberation Quilt
DESCRIPTION:Wild Queer Abolitionist Collective invites you to their upcoming Art Jam Gathering.\nThis event is completely free\, and everyone is welcome\, no previous art experience is necessary! This event is a drop in\, so come for as long as you would like to stay! WQAC will have snacks\, water\, and masks\, creative prompts and some printing materials available. A friendly reminder to bring any food/snacks\, (nut-free please)\, drinks\, blankets\, seating and other supplies (hats\, sunscreen\, bug spray\, etc.) that would make you feel most comfortable outdoors!  \nThe vision for this Art Jam is to block print on individual squares of fabric to create a Liberation Quilt – this art form has been deeply rooted in community practice and collective resistance\, stemming from the AIDs movement and one that has been recently used by artists and organizers in the US and Canada for Palestine and Women Against Police Brutality. What WQAC hopes for this gathering is to come together with our community to not only socialize and build relationships with one another\, but to share\, create\, and express our feelings on what could/should/would abolitionist dissent and creativity look like in Guelph and the Tri Cities.

SUMMARY:Walking as Remapping: A Slow Walk to Nowhere
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the exhibition 155\,578\, join us for the first of two experimental walking events led by artist Dawn Matheson\, part of the Walking as Remapping series. A Slow Walk to Nowhere invites participants to gently rebel against the demands of speed\, productivity\, and destination by following internal cues. Grounded in the body and guided by intuition\, this simple creative walk offers a space to reflect on movement as an act of resistance—where the journey\, not the arrival\, becomes the point. Inspired by Rebecca Solnit’s Wanderlust\, Matheson sees walking as a deliberate and embodied act of remapping—subtle\, sensorial\, and deeply human. \nBeginning at the Art Gallery of Guelph\, each participant will receive a brief set of instructions and a loose hypothesis to explore. Then\, in solitude\, walkers or rollers will depart from the gallery using only their senses to guide them (especially their sense of wonder) in any direction for 20 minutes\, listening to their own rhythms and surroundings. They will return to AGG to share observations and reflections in a short group conversation. \nOpen to all. Dress for the weather\, bring a phone or timekeeping device if possible\, and come ready to wander!
