Every year\, students\, faculty\, staff\, alumni\, retirees\, and their family members are invited to participate\, and every year\, the Community Show features work in a wide range of media\, including visual\, media\, and literary art\, music and performance\, fine craft\, and more. \nHow well do we know our classmates\, professors\, students\, or colleagues? The familiar faces we see at the dining hall\, the library\, the lecture hall\, or the gym? The former students and classmates pursuing new challenges since graduating? The Community Show is a way to get to know one another better\, offering a glimpse of the diverse range of skills\, talents\, points of view\, and experiences of the many individuals that comprise the Mount’s extended community. \nThe Community Show also offers valuable perspectives on the many ways that creative practices are a meaningful and impactful part of people’s lives. For some\, art is a professional pursuit. For others\, it’s a component of their research\, their community work\, or their activism. Art can be a cultural practice that connects us to our families and ancestors\, a tool for self-understanding\, a reason to get together with friends\, a means to express complex ideas\, a rewarding technical skill to master\, or a satisfying way to busy our hands and calm our minds. \nSharing your art with your community requires some courage. It is an act of generosity\, an invitation to connect\, to be known and understood more deeply.  It is a gift—one best received with curiosity and gratitude.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/annual-mount-community-show-3/ LOCATION:MSVU Main Gallery CATEGORIES:Community ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/MSVU-Community-Show_02-12-2024_03.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250510 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250728 DTSTAMP:20260501T050003 CREATED:20250320T171858Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250715T120348Z UID:10000263-1746835200-1753660799@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Epekwitk Quill Sisters: Etleoogoeiog (Talking Together/ Dialogue) DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Curated by Emma Hassencahl-Perley and organized by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery. \nEpekwitk Quill Sisters: Etleoogoeiog (Talking Together) showcases the work of the Epekwitk Quill Sisters—a collective of Mi’kmaw women artists: Kayla Sark\, Melissa Peter-Paul\, and Cheryl Simon. These artists are committed to preserving and advancing the practice of Mi’kmaq porcupine quillwork\, a tradition that is deeply rooted in their cultural heritage. Since 2019\, they have fostered an artistic community that operates on Mi’kmaq principles of mutual support\, respect\, and connection to both human and non-human beings. \nTheir art is a conversation with the creations of their ancestors—women whose roles as mothers\, aunties\, and caretakers are inseparable from their artistic expressions. The exhibition is more than a tribute to the evolution of quillwork; it celebrates the interwoven bonds of family and sisterhood\, the artistic legacies passed down through generations\, and the vibrant histories of Mi’kmaq quill art.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nOpening Reception\nCelebrate our Spring Exhibitions!\nSaturday\, May 10th\, 1:00 – 3:00 pm \nPlease join us on May 10th from 1:00 – 3:00 pm for a relaxed reception to celebrate MSVU Art Gallery’s spring exhibitions\, Epekwitk Quill Sisters: Etleoogoeiog (Talking Together/ Dialogie) and Together Apart/ Under One Roof.

Specializing in beadwork\, murals and digital illustration\, Emma’s art reflects her identity as a woman and Wolastoqwiw citizen of the Wabanaki Confederacy. Her work draws on the rich visual traditions of her nation\, with themes that explore water\, Wabanaki feminisms\, and the Wabanaki double-curve motif – a symbol representing relationships\, nationhood and community. These motifs form a cultural aesthetic foundation in Emma’s practice\, linking ancestral Wabanaki material culture with digital storytelling techniques. \nIn addition to her work as an artist\, Emma is the Curator of Indigenous Art at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton and teaches Indigenous Art History in the Wabanaki Visual Art Program at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Mount Allison University (2017) and a Master of Arts in Art History from Concordia University (2022).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nAbout the Artists\nKayla Sark is a Mi’kmaq woman from Lennox Island\, Epekwit. Kay was accepted as an apprentice to Mi’kmaq Quill Art in 2016 and learned the traditional harvesting practices and quilling techniques. She went on to share the art form with her children and then the broader community through workshops which she has been instructing for five years. She and her partner share in harvesting porcupine quills\, sweet grass and birch bark\, making her quill art a launching point for a shared cultural experience for her family. Once she learned the basic technique\, Kay quickly developed a unique style drawing upon personal inspiration rather than being influenced by more traditional designs. Kay enjoys the creative process and starts with inspired by different colour combinations. She begins each piece by quilling a foundational star\, then incorporates the colour combinations to bring balance to the work and provide the unique detail. Kay gravitates to the eight-pointed star and feels a connection to that particular design as it has become such a symbolic representation of the Mi’kmaq nation. \nCheryl Simon is a Mi’kmaq woman from Epekwitk (PEI)\, living in Halifax\, who works with porcupine quills\, birchbark\, spruce root\, and sweetgrass. She fell in love with Mi’kmaq quillwork as a child\, inspired by her mother’s collection of quill boxes. After returning to Mi’kma’ki in 2007\, she learned the insertion technique and launched her business\, Mi’kmaq Quill Art\, in 2011. Cheryl teaches quillwork workshops and has been dedicated to community education for over ten years. She took on her first apprentice in 2015 and opened a studio in Epekwitk in 2016 for three more apprentices. While focusing on traditional quillwork\, she developed a method to accurately depict petroglyphs after visiting sites in Nova Scotia\, blending traditional designs with petroglyph techniques in her pieces to enhance details. Recently inspired by contemporary Mi’kmaq art\, she started creating vibrant designs that expand beyond quill box lids. Cheryl teaches her children to quill and is eager to pass on the intricacies of traditional design\, valuing the strong connections that quillwork fosters as the community grows to include younger generations. \nMelissa Peter-Paul Melissa is a Mi’kmaw woman from Abegweit First Nation on Epekwitk (PEI). She grew up surrounded by cultural teachings and a family of basket makers\, expressing her art through regalia and beadwork from a young age. Her exposure to Mi’kmaq art led her to quillwork\, a traditional skill of her maternal grandfather’s ancestors. In 2015\, she began an apprenticeship with Mi’kmaq Quill Art\, focusing on traditional techniques and studying cultural resources from museums. Quillwork involves inserting dyed or natural porcupine quills into birchbark\, finished with quills\, sweetgrass\, or spruce root. Throughout her apprenticeship\, Melissa learned about harvesting materials and traditional design geometry. After completing her apprenticeship\, she helped establish a community of quillers to promote the artform and collaborate on projects. Melissa launched her career with her first solo exhibit at Receiver Coffee in Charlottetown in 2019. Heavily influenced by 20th-century Mi’kmaw quillwork\, she is supported by her family in harvesting and is dedicated to passing the art to her two sons and the wider community.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_gallery css=”” type=”image_grid” images=”21253\,21204\,21203\,21202\,21201″ image_grid_loading=”default” display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/epekwitk-quill-sisters-etleoogoeiog-talking-together-dialogue/ CATEGORIES:Community,Indigenous ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/table-3-Large.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250215 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250427 DTSTAMP:20260501T050003 CREATED:20241205T180738Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250215T120755Z UID:10000260-1739577600-1745711999@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:From Africville: The Paintings of Edith MacDonald-Brown (1886-1954) DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nExhibition Information\n[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Curated by David Woods\nOrganized by Black Artists Network of Nova Scotia and MSVU Art Gallery \nThis exhibition celebrates the artistic legacy of underrecognized African Nova Scotian painter Edith MacDonald-Brown.

Born in Africville\, she moved to Montreal in 1898\, where she took painting lessons\, according to members of her family. She showed an exceptional talent at a young age. In 1914 she married William Henry Brown\, after relocating back to the Brown family homestead. Despite her talent she did not pursue a career as an artist or exhibit publicly\, sharing her works only with her family. The few surviving paintings by MacDonald-Brown count among the earliest examples of fine art produced by an African Canadian woman in Canada.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nAbout the Curator\nDavid Woods is a self-taught artist\, curator\, playwright and poet from Dartmouth NS who has been a forefront of the Black Nova Scotian arts scene for over four decades.

Together\, these works link traditional craft practices to modern and conceptual sculpture and enrich contemporary perspectives on care and the handmade. \nMelanie Colosimo & Emily Falvey\, curators \nWe gratefully acknowledge the support of the Honourable Margaret Norrie McCain\, CC\, ONB\, in realizing this exhibition and publication. \n[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nAudio Companion\n[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”]\n \n \n \n Introduction\n Dawn MacNutt: Timeless Forms\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1984-Kindred-Spirits-1-1024x1010.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/1.-Introduction.mp3\n \n \n Exhibition Information\n Dawn MacNutt: Timesless Forms\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1984-Kindred-Spirits-1-1024x1010.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2.-Exhibition-Information.mp3\n \n \n From the Land\n Dawn MacNutt: Timeless Forms\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1984-Kindred-Spirits-1-1024x1010.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/3.-From-the-Land.mp3\n \n \n Once Upon a Time\n Dawn MacNutt: Timeless Forms\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1984-Kindred-Spirits-1-1024x1010.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/4.-Once-Upon-a-Time.mp3\n \n \n Silver Wire\n Dawn MacNutt: Timeless Forms\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1984-Kindred-Spirits-1-1024x1010.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/5.-Silver-wire.mp3\n \n \n Vigil\, Bronze Head\, Courage\n Dawn MacNutt: Timeless Forms\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1984-Kindred-Spirits-1-1024x1010.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/6.-Vigil-Bronze-Head-Courage.mp3\n \n \n Man in Black Coat\n Dawn MacNutt: Timeless Forms\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1984-Kindred-Spirits-1-1024x1010.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/7.-Man-in-Black-Coat.mp3\n \n \n Sketches for Muse\n Dawn MacNutt: Timeless Forms\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1984-Kindred-Spirits-1-1024x1010.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/8.-Sketches-for-Muse.mp3\n \n \n Man in a Kimono & Kindred Spirits\n Dawn MacNutt: Timeless Forms\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1984-Kindred-Spirits-1-1024x1010.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/9.-Man-in-A-Kimono-Kindred-Spirits.mp3\n \n \n Anguish\n Dawn MacNutt: Timeless Forms\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1984-Kindred-Spirits-1-1024x1010.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/10.-Anguish.mp3\n \n \n Anna Reid and Hidden Memories\n Dawn MacNutt: Timeless Forms\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1984-Kindred-Spirits-1-1024x1010.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/11.-Anna-Reid-and-Hidden-Memories.mp3\n \n \n Bowl\n Dawn MacNutt: Timeless Forms\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1984-Kindred-Spirits-1-1024x1010.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/12.-Bowl.mp3\n \n \n Mother and Child\n Dawn MacNutt: Timeless Forms\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1984-Kindred-Spirits-1-1024x1010.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13.-Mother-and-Child.mp3\n \n \n Spirits of Courage\, Love and Joy\n Dawn MacNutt: Timeless Forms\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1984-Kindred-Spirits-1-1024x1010.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/14.-Spirits-of-Courage-Love-and-Joy.mp3\n \n \n Artist Statement\n Dawn MacNutt: Timeless Forms\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1984-Kindred-Spirits-1-1024x1010.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/15.-Artist-Statement.mp3\n \n \n Curator Bios\n Dawn MacNutt: Timeless Forms\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1984-Kindred-Spirits-1-1024x1010.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/16.-Curator-Bios.mp3\n \n \n No HTML5 audio playback capabilities for this browser.

Curated by founder Michael McGuire this exhibition will showcase a selection of digital and physical items from an archive of over 2100 recordings\, 400 posters\, and 9 hours of video\, along with 850 CDs\, 165 cassettes\, and 280 vinyl records. This exhibition aims to celebrate and preserve the often overlooked hip hop legacy of Atlantic Canada and honour the individuals who have contributed to its vibrancy. \nAs an ongoing project\, the East of East Archive is dedicated to collecting and documenting materials related to Atlantic Canadian hip hop. The exhibition\, designed to be an interactive experience\, will highlight the archive’s commitment to supporting and inspiring new projects within the hip hop community. Visitors will not only view but have the opportunity to engage with and contribute to the history of hip hop in the region and experience the breadth of cultural expression within Atlantic Canadian hip hop. \nFor more information on the East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive visit their website.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nAudio Companion\n[/vc_column_text]\n \n \n \n Introduction\n East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/01-Introduction.mp3\n \n \n Main Show Description\n East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/02-Main-Show-Description.mp3\n \n \n Audio Dome 01\n East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/03-Audio-Dome-01.mp3\n \n \n Audio Dome 02\n East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/04-Audio-Dome-02.mp3\n \n \n Timeline\n East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/05-Timeline.mp3\n \n \n Vitrine - Alternate Formats\n East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n \n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/07-Vitrine-02-Formats.mp3\n \n \n Vitrine - Tapes\n East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/06-Vitrine-01-Tapes.mp3\n \n \n Vitrine -Unique Voices\n East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n \n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/08-Vitrine-03-Unique-Voices.mp3\n \n \n Playlist - Women of Atl Cdn Rap\n East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n \n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/09-Playlist-Women-of-Atl-Cdn-Rap.mp3\n \n \n Playlist - Hermit's Picks\n East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n \n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/10-Playlist-Hermits-Picks.mp3\n \n \n Posters\n East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n \n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/11-Posters.mp3\n \n \n Albums (Scrolling)\n East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n \n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/12-Albums-Scrolling.mp3\n \n \n No HTML5 audio playback capabilities for this browser.

Inspired by the hip hop tapes he discovered as a child\, he started rapping and performing spoken word as ‘Hermitofthewoods’. In the years that followed\, he began facilitating workshops and giving talks on the culture and production of hip hop\, with a particular focus on the local scene in Halifax. Leaning into the academic world\, a Master’s thesis on the history of hip hop in Halifax soon followed\, along with an opportunity to teach at Mount Saint Vincent University\, which\, in turn\, led to pursuing a doctorate in critical hip hop pedagogy. In 2017\, he established the ‘East of East Atlantic Canadian Hip Hop’ to preserve the cultural legacy of the region’s hip hop artists and as a platform for future academic research and study.  He lives in Timberlea\, Nova Scotia with an adorable beagle named Goose.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/east-of-east-atlantic-hip-hop-archive/ LOCATION:Upper Gallery\, Canada CATEGORIES:Community,History ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240921 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20241124 DTSTAMP:20260501T050003 CREATED:20240717T175458Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241106T170356Z UID:10000257-1726876800-1732406399@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Still Tho: Aesthetic Survival in Hip Hop’s Visual Art DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Curated by Mark V. Campbell\, Still Tho is an ode to the visual artists in Canada who shaped hip hop culture and its visual aesthetics. In this group exhibition featuring artists from across Canada\, an array of mix-media works explores the growth\, influence and importance of graffiti art and its aesthetic legacies. \nThe phrase “Still Tho” in the exhibition’s title refers to a common expression in hip-hop culture that speaks to these artists’ perseverance\, their overcoming numerous barriers to make art and build community. Moreover\, the exhibition highlights the lasting impact of hip hop’s visual art on both Canadian culture and visual aesthetics in our digital age. \nFeature image: Still from “Moments of Movement\, Freestyle Dance Video Series #104 – Tafiya”\, Mark Valino\, 2022.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nOpening Reception\nAll are welcome to a celebratory reception for MSVU Art Gallery’s Fall exhibitions\, ‘Still Tho\,’ curated by Mark V.

Each artist reflected on this expression in their contribution to the design. \nKalkidan Assefa (Dripping Soul) chose to honour the pioneers of East Coast/Atlantic hip hop\, focusing on Black Nova Scotian communities. Areas like Uniacke Square—where some Africville residents were relocated—were among the first in the region to embrace hip hop’s underlying themes of social and economic disenfranchisement. Assefa highlighted the emcee\, one of hip hop’s four elements\, as the voice that connected these communities with others who shared similar experiences. \nMique Michelle pays homage to the women of hip hop who are often overlooked as contributors to the culture\, collaborators\, or solo artists. Too often\, they are seen as “assistants.” Inspired by Atlantic Canada’s heavy-hitting women emcees\, the globally trailblazing women of hip hop\, and their stories\, Mique Michelle created three characters who are a mashup of past\, present\, and future Femme presence. Mique Michelle adds\, “Let’s not forget to write ourselves into the future while respecting those who created the foundation.”  She invites viewers to take a closer at the mural to find a dozen local easter eggs scattered throughout. \nGhettosocks believes that the founders of hip hop (like DJ Kool Herc) intended to bring people together by celebrating life and culture through their music. This essence permeates the wall and will hold it down until the next iteration inevitably seizes its place. \n“Painting this mural with Mique and Kal has been a beautiful experience. Collaboration is one of the many incredible aspects of hip hop\, and I feel privileged to be included amongst such a pair of immense talent.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/still-tho-aesthetic-survival-in-hip-hops-visual-art/ LOCATION:MSVU Main Gallery CATEGORIES:Community,Drawing & Printmaking,History,Indigenous,Media,Painting,Photography,Sculpture & Installation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Tafiya-alley-mid-air-copy.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240117 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240225 DTSTAMP:20260501T050003 CREATED:20231031T172115Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231106T184915Z UID:10000253-1705449600-1708819199@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Annual Mount Community Show 2024 DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]Mount Saint Vincent University students\, staff\, faculty\, alumnae and their families are invited to show their creative work in this annual extravaganza.

The Two-Eyed Seeing Program creates events and programs for Mi’kmaw youth that are rooted in the principles of Etuaptmumk (Two-Eyed Seeing)\, which embraces reciprocal relationship building and learning from both Indigenous and Western scientific knowledges and perspectives. \nLife Cycle of a Boat is centered around a boat that was built\, painted\, blessed\, and launched by Mi’kmaq youth from Sipekne’katik (Indian Brook) and Wasoqopa’q (Acadia) communities\, in collaboration with mentors from Sipekne’katik\, Wasoqopa’q\, Millbrook\, and Pictou Landing communities\, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic\, Mount Saint Vincent University\, and elsewhere. The boat building and painting workshop featured artist Alan Sylliboy from Millbrook\, water-walker and grassroots grandmother Dorene Bernard from Sipekne’katik\, as well as others. Life Cycle of a Boat represents relationships that make the Two-Eyed Seeing Program possible in a tangible and literal way\, featuring activities that showcase Western and Indigenous sciences\, strengths\, and synergies.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\nAbout the Two-Eyed Seeing Program\nEtuaptmumk (Two-Eyed Seeing) is a guiding principle for co-learning and integrative science\, translated by Mi’kmaq Elders and academics – Elders Albert and Murdena Marshall from Unama’ki (Cape Breton) and Dr. Cheryl Bartlett. The guiding principles are based on reciprocal relationship building and seeing the world with the strengths of both Indigenous and Western scientific perspectives.

Though awareness about low-stimulation accessibility is slowly growing\, many people have to avoid or limit time in public spaces and gatherings due to access barriers. As its name suggests\, QUIET PARADE will be a parade but also a platform to collectively create a vibrant\, extravagant\, low-stimulation event that embraces access as a shared and interdependent practice. QUIET PARADE seeks to embody a quiet that interrupts the noise of the city\, experimenting with new ways of creating and sharing space together. \n  \nAbout Proposals and Participation\nQUIET PARADE will be shaped by the contributions and input of its participants and as such\, may not take the form of a conventional parade. Organizers are seeking proposals from artists and anyone who is interested in participating in QUIET PARADE in any way and fully formed concepts are not required.  If you would like to be involved\, please submit a proposal with your idea for a float or other form of participation\, such as creative movement\, performance\, wearable art\, or puppeteering. You are invited to interpret this Call creatively and not feel limited by the language used within it. Proposals should envision and bolster your participation in the ways that fully suit and support your needs and desires. Some prompts for contemplation are: \n\nHow will your float or participation contribute to collectively creating sensory-friendly access and quiet? What visual or textural aspects will you include and what will you avoid?  For example\, participants are asked to refrain from using lights\, sirens\, noisemakers\, smoke\, and fragrance.\nHow does your float\, participation\, or contribution move along the parade route? Is it created or moved by bodies walking\, rolling\, or performing? Or by bike\, stroller\, wagon\, or other means? Or is it better suited to take place in a stationary way\, at the beginning or end of the parade route?\nAre costumes\, puppets\, banners\, workshops\, and/or performances involved?\nWhat does low-stimulation celebration\, flourish\, extravagance\, and/or creativity look like?\nQUIET PARADE organizers can facilitate introductions to help you realize your vision: If you are an artist\, would you like to partner with an organization? If you are an organization\, would you like to partner with an artist?\nHow could your contribution facilitate your own access or others’? How might you incorporate other forms of experimental access\, beyond low-stimulation access?\nWhat forms of support do you need to make your contribution possible?\n\nWhile all are welcome to submit a proposal\, QUIET PARADE centers folks who are Mad\, d/Deaf\, Sick\, disabled\, chronically ill\, Spoonie\, Crip\, neurodivergent\, and labelled with intellectual or developmental disability. QUIET PARADE recognizes that disability and language is fluid and that there can be barriers to identifying as disabled. QUIET PARADE holds space for uncertainty about disability identity and for those who do not have a relationship with disability culture\, language\, or community. Proposals that support and prioritize BIPOC (Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Colour)\, racialized\, LGBTQIA2S+\, and multiply-marginalized artists\, creativity\, and communities are encouraged. There are no limitations to who can propose a “float” and both individuals and groups are encouraged to submit proposals\, including individuals\, artists (of all mediums)\, ad-hoc community groups\, or organizations. The proposal review and selection process will be determined by the quantity and scope of submissions received. \n  \nAccess & Accessibility\nQUIET PARADE is guided by the understanding that accessibility is contextual\, varied\, and dynamic. While QUIET PARADE centers low-sensory accessibility\, it’s important that everyone who wishes to participate is able to do so. Organizers are committed to addressing access conflicts and are working to create a range of points of access to QUIET PARADE. Examples of forms of access that will be integrated into QUIET PARADE are visual description\, seating options\, a Loud Zone\, fragrance reduced / low-toxicant products\, ASL interpretation\, and an Access Guide. \nIncluded in the commitment to accessibility is the prioritization of safety and wellbeing within the context of COVID-19.  All aspects in the planning and creation of QUIET PARADE will uphold or exceed public health recommendations and prioritize the needs of participants in this ongoing pandemic. \n  \nFunding\nThere is funding available to QUIET PARADE participants in the form of artist\, production\, and/or materials fees. The purpose of these funds is to support participation in QUIET PARADE and to assist with the creation of floats. Funding allocation will be determined by the scale and scope of each proposal and the total number of received proposals. As such\, examples of fees are not available at this time but funds will be distributed equitably and transparently. Applicants do not need to provide a budget with your proposal. \nIn complement to these fees\, participating artists and groups may seek additional external funding sources\, for which QUIET PARADE organizers can provide support letters as needed. \n  \nThe deadline to submit proposals is June 3\, 2022 at 12:00pm ADT\nApplicants will be notified of the status of their submission by June 30\, 2022 \n[/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”APPLY NOW” url=”https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeVhRPaScpoXJhErY5uIrH1gD-YZOzsza9VSPytZXx227gXyg/viewform?usp=sf_link” css_animation=”pulse”][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text max_width=”750″]\n\nAbout Aislinn Thomas \nAislinn Thomas (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice includes video\, performance\, sculpture\, installation\, and text.
