SUMMARY:Exhibit: Soba's Corner
DESCRIPTION:Soba’s Corner: A Chinese-Canadian Cooking Show\nArtist: Snack Witch Joni Cheung \nYouTube food channels are online spaces where diasporic communities go to connect with their heritage and stories by recreating foods that they grew up eating or have never tasted before. These platforms provide knowledge that can be easily disseminated between family and friends who physically can’t be together. In these worlds\, authors can speak to their connections to dishes they are teaching others to make. However\, some narratives need to be re-examined and chewed on. \nMotivated by her ancestors’ relationship to food and migration\, Soba’s Corner is a video series that unpacks distinct Chinese-Canadian dishes from specific provinces. Posted on YouTube and disguised as a typical how-to cooking show\, another conversation and narrative are hidden in the Canadian English closed captions and the “recipe” linked in the description box.

SUMMARY:Contour Drawing with Zuzana Vasko
DESCRIPTION:June 12th | 4 – 6pm | Outside of the Nest \nAbout the workshop:\nContour drawing involves very careful\, sincere looking and creates a space for intimate connection with the subject you’re drawing. As such\, the experience of drawing in contours can be a way to better come to know the forms of life around us\, and to see and give attention to what might otherwise not be noticed. This workshop will take place outside\, where we will draw certain spots\, niches\, or specific plants that might draw you in. Because the focus is on process and careful looking rather than on the result\, it is accessible to all levels of drawing or experience. We will begin with blind contours – drawing without looking at the paper – and move onto sighted contours while continuing to look with detailed care and what you’ve decided to draw. \nAbout the artist:\nZuzana Vasko’s artwork inquires into how we might create meaningful\, intimate bonds with our local ecologies; it also explores commonalities we share with other species and the lore around how we relate to them. Her work often incorporates drawing\, stitching\, and natural materials. She teaches with the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University\, where she endeavours to bring ecological perspectives into all her courses.

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!
