SUMMARY:artist talk | tea and talk with Rachel Rozanski (ARCHIVAL EARTH)
DESCRIPTION:About 50 percent of Canada is permafrost\, and it’s thawing almost a century earlier than predicted. It is the foundation for Arctic ecosystems and in the last ten years\, thawing and “permafrost slumps” have started to dramatically change the landscape. \nThis multimedia exhibit explores the concept of time on a geological scale through land change in Northern Canada\, with a specific focus on the ways permafrost and water are being altered in the Anthropocene. Investigating permafrost thaw from the direct effects of small-scale mining to the results of large-scale global climate change\, this project developed through creative practice and collaboration with scientists and Indigenous land-based researchers in the Yukon and Northwest Territories on Inuvialuit\, Gwich’in\, Dene\, and Trondek Hwetch’in traditional territories\, partially through summer and winter residencies at the Klondike Institute of Art and Culture. \nAbout the Artist: Rachel Rozanski is an interdisciplinary artist and PhD student whose creative research explores concepts of restoration and repair in environmental studies and disability studies. Through residency projects in the Yukon\, Northwest Territories\, Nunavut and Iceland\, she has collaborated with researchers and been inspired by scientific and land-based studies of permafrost degradation\, pollution and adaptations for the Anthropocene. Using drawing\, photography and video\, Rachel portrays the creative survival of people\, plants and animals in sick bodies and sick Lands\, creating documentary art that is accessible and experiential. Her work has been exhibited in galleries internationally and across Canada including PAVED arts\, Prefix Circuit Gallery\, Two Rivers Gallery\, the Canada Council for the Arts Ajagemo gallery\, and Artspace Gallery for CONTACT Photography Festival. \nRegistration is not necessary\, but we hope you will join us!

SUMMARY:Wild Colour\, Ink Making with Annie Robinson
DESCRIPTION:About the Workshop\nIn a workshop full of play and connection to place\, participants will work with wild colour sources to make ink. No art experience is required\, only curious minds. We will explore colour sources from food waste\, foraged botanicals\, and metals. Together\, we will discover the palette of Wells\, contemplate the storylines of specific colour sources\, and inspire a land-based approach to artmaking. \nThis workshop is all ages and will require an adult to be with younger participants as we will be working over a stove. \n“Color is a playground where science and magic meet.” -Jason Logan\, Toronto Ink Company \nAbout the Artist \nAnnie Robinson is a land-based painter and art therapist who makes her own materials out of foraged and natural color sources. Annie’s painting expresses landscape\, a sense of place\, and embodiment; she paints out on the land using ingredients from the surrounding place and her garden. This includes indigo dyeing and making inks and paints from wild pigments found in the earth\, botanicals\, and metals left from decaying industry. Annie’s personal art practice and practice in art therapy intertwine through the use of material\, connection to the land\, and her fellow artmakers in qathet\, BC\, the territory of the Tla’amin People.

SUMMARY:Stitching Geography and Memory with Shawn Grey
DESCRIPTION:About the workshop\nThis workshop explores creating cloth bags as collective storytelling. The workshop delves into\nthe movement of story through the application of stitching techniques. Participants will stitch\ncotton bags with decorative motifs interpreting experiences of geography and memory. \nInspired by Ursula Le Guin’s essay on the “Carrier Bag”\, the workshop replicates the invention and necessity of care offering a way for individuals to metaphorically hold one another together through story. Shawn will demonstrate and teach stitching techniques through the making of a small zippered cotton bag. Participants will receive a sewing kit with materials to stitch their own carrying bag. The stitching techniques can then be used by participants to appliqué or embroider basic motifs or images of one’s own expression onto the bag. The collective making of the bags opens space to consider how we carry information\, family history\, assumptions\, visions\, and how simple tools impact our lives in the moment and more broadly\, into the future as the skills are shared with one another and intergenerationally. \nAbout the Artist \nShawn Grey is a visual artist whose practice is rooted in connection and transformation. Combining elements of cloth\, video\, and narrative\, her work documents the everyday as a method to locate overlooked stories that carry and share collective knowledge. Her 2022 MFA thesis project\, “When Nobody Was Here\,” at York University\, documented the collaborative making of a 45-foot cloth banner that served to articulate the meaning of personal presence and relationship in relationship to self\, others\, and local histories. Shawn’s video montage\, “Occupied Acknowledgements\,” was screened at Toronto’s 2019 Nuit Blanche and her work is recognized by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council. Shawn is 3rd generation British/Hungarian descent\, born in Nanaimo\, British Columbia\, living and working in Toronto\, Ontario on territories covered by Treaty 13.

SUMMARY:Bry Webb + Cots
DESCRIPTION:Bry Webb + Cots\nLive at the SARRAS in Wells\, BC\nWednesday\, May 15th\, 2024\n7:00PM Doors\n7:30PM Music\n$15 to $20 suggested donation \nAbout the Artists:\nBry Webb\n” Bry Webb is best known as the singer and principal songwriter in the well-loved and celebrated Canadian underground rock and roll band\, The Constantines. During the band’s four-year hiatus from 2010-2014\, Webb returned to his one time home of Guelph\, Ontario\, became a father\, and wrote his first album\, Provider\, released in 2011 by Idée Fixe.\nNow in an unexpected turnaround 10 years on from the recording of his last studio album “Free Will”\, there is not only a return to the stage for Bry but also a new record. Primarily composed in a season of upheaval\, “Run With Me” contains some of Bry’s rawest sentiments. Fresh and painfully present there is an immediacy one can hear as emotional walls collapse in real time. ”\nhttps://brywebb.bandcamp.com/album/run-with-me \nCots\n“Cots is the solo project of Montreal composer\, singer\, and guitarist Steph Yates. Blending elements of bossa nova\, folk\, jazz\, and classical against a modern art backdrop\, Cots’s subtly unconventional compositions and poetics permeate her debut record – the hushed\, lush Disturbing Body. Produced by renowned Toronto musician Sandro Perri and engineered by Canadian recording artist Scott Merritt\, the record demonstrates Yates’s understated\, detailed songcraft and attention to lyrical play. Her pure\, crystalline voice carries the gravitas of songs that evoke lost love and its consequences.”\nhttps://cotsmusic.bandcamp.com/album/moonlit-building

Ben has that magical balance of the bygone songwriting era; his lyrics are at once specific to his life\, and universal to the human experience. Ben draws inspiration from observation and is a natural storyteller\, captivating his audience with vulnerable ballads of love and loss – with a dash of uptempo guitar pickin’ and humour for good measure.\nwww.benmatchettmusic.com\nInstagram @benmatchettmusic\nFB @benmatchettmusic\n\nTHEATRE | BREAK A LEG BY BRIAN FIDLER*\n*The participation of this Artist is arranged by permission of Canadian Actors’ Equity Association under the provisions of the Dance•Opera•Theatre Policy.\nBreak a Leg is a collectively improvised tale inspired by Tramadol\, extra-strength Tylenol and the power of community. Created through the haze of a badly broken leg\, Fidler draws the audience into his experience through storytelling and games that speak to the better part of human nature and our innate desire to help each other in challenging circumstances.\nBrian Fidler- Performer/Creator\nFor over 20 years Brian has been making theatre\, creating outdoor multi-disciplinary events and directing shows in his hometown of Whitehorse\, Yukon (the Traditional Territory of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council). His cardboard science fiction puppet shows and original plays have been presented across the country and have toured to every community in the Yukon. Brian is the Creative Producer of Theatre in the Bush\, a site specific outdoor event set deep in the boreal forest. In the summer of 2024 Brian will return to Wells to create a customized version of Theatre in the Bush as part of the ArtsWells Festival.\nwww.ramshackletheatre.ca\nInstagram: @ramshackletheatre\n\nMUSIC | GENEVIEVE JAIDE\nGenevieve’s latest release\, “Why Am I Like This”\, was written as a coping mechanism to work through her personal mental health journey. The title track is a familiar story about social anxiety in which you wish you could promptly teleport *literally* anywhere from the situation that you are in – a pretty relatable feeling. The EP sifts through different memories and digs deep into the strange realities of one’s messy mind. The genre jumps around from alternative\, folk\, indie-pop\, to Canadiana\, but maintains Jaide’s lyrically driven\, terrifically vulnerable singer-songwriter vibe.\nGenevieve Jaide is a northern blooded songstress inspired by the environment\, nature\, and the alluring people she has met throughout the years. She carefully releases heavy emotions through lyrics and melodies\, and pairs these feelings with a groovy alternative vibe.\nHer folk alternative sound is accompanied by: Brock Patch\, Connor Pritchard\, Michael Lurincic and Calvin Hilde.\nGenevieve currently resides in Northern BC on Lheidli T’enneh Territory with her partner\, two orange cats\, and dog.\nhttps://www.genevievejaide.com\nInstagram: @genevievejaide\nFacebook @GenevieveJaide

SUMMARY:Pier 21
DESCRIPTION:Pier 21 is a moving musical\, written and directed by Allen Desnoyer\, and uses a blend of Celtic and swing music to tell the stories of those who fled from Europe and arrived at Pier 21\, the gateway to Canada. \nDesnoyers said the concept for the show was something he had been thinking about for the better part of a decade. \n“When Syrian refugees began arriving in my hometown of Ladner\, B.C. in late 2016\, the tenant at my home was from Libya and became a translator to local refugees and it seemed crucial to find a way to tell a story of people fleeing a war zone\, but also make it an entertaining show\,” he said in an email interview. \nA visit to Pier 21 in Halifax in 2017 inspired him to begin writing a Celtic flavoured show that could incorporate immigrants and Second World War brides as well as swing music. \n“Finding out that Pier 21 was where the troops departed from clinched the need to focus on the (Second World War) era itself and provided the show with a clear beginning\, middle and end\,” he said. \nThe production has been embraced and has been performed close to 250 times across Canada including a visit to Pier 21 in 2019. The pandemic cancelled the show that was planned for Ottawa on the 75th anniversary of VE Day and one planned for Steinbach in spring of 2020.

SUMMARY:Artist Bookmaking with Cat Sivertsen
DESCRIPTION:September 2nd\, 2023 \n10 a.m – 2 p.m \nAges 13+ \nRegister by August 19th. \nPay what you can + Mandatory $15.00 Materials Fee (suggested $35.00 total) \nAn artist’s book is a book created by an artist and not a biography of an artist. It is experimental in media and could tell a story or maybe not\, it is always beautiful\, unique\, and relevant to the maker and\, of course\, the reader. \nworkshop in connection to IMA’s exhibition of Cat’s work ‘Sensibilities of Place’. This workshop is about how to create an artist’s book using a variety of materials and framed within the notion of ‘sensibilities of place’ – your place. \nThe workshop begins at the hardest part and that is… getting started! The focus of this workshop is to learn how to dispel that creative tension by tapping into some of Cat’s ‘tricks of the trade’ based on accessible materials being used in magical ways: drawing\, printmaking\, collage\, and simple writing processes. The goal is to get marks onto the paper thus helping you realize your story. Yes\, you will take home an artist’s book that expresses your sense of place\, and you will also take away a bevy of tricks to fuel your creative endeavours at home. \nJoin Cat for an enjoyable morning of material exploration\, a bit of storytelling\, and lots of laughter through creativity. All materials are included and pre-registration is required as seats are limited. No experience necessary – bring a picnic lunch and an open heart to play.
