Following their forced exile after the Second Maroon War with the British\, Jamaican Maroons were exiled to Mi’kma’ki and the British colony of Nova Scotia in 1796. Despite sustained resistance and protest\, the majority of Maroons departed Nova Scotia centuries ago\, however\, many Maroon descendants still live in this province where the legacy of Maroon culture endures. In this exhibition\, Tyshan Wright creates a staged Maroon house and settlement that includes expertly handcrafted iterations of the ceremonial and everyday domestic objects that Maroons were forced to leave behind in Jamaica\, as well as those they use today. This staged settlement imagines Jamaican Maroons and Maroon life thriving across time and place. Maroon Town celebrates historic Maroon resilience and present-day acts of sovereignty that build a vibrant and connected tomorrow for Maroon descendants.[/vc_column_text][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=”1/1″ 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]\nAbout the Curator\nJulie Hollenbach is a queer\, white-settler artist\, curator\, and cultural historian teaching craft histories and material cultures on unceded Mi’kmaq territory at NSCAD University.[/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”][vc_column_text]\nAbout the Artist\nKjipuktuk (Halifax)-based artist Tyshan Wright works at the intersection of contemporary art and traditional Jamaican Maroon culture and craft.

MSVU Art Gallery and with support from Eyelevel\, QUIET PARADE is a low-stimulation parade and celebration taking place in Kjipuktuk/Halifax as part of Nocturne 2022. As its name suggests\, QUIET PARADE will be a parade but also a platform to experience a vibrant\, extravagant\, sensory-friendly 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 collectively creating and sharing space. \n  \nDate: Saturday\, October 15 at 2:00pm\nLocation: Fort Needham Memorial Park – park map with route below\nRain Date: Sunday\, October 16 at 2:00pm \n  \nWhile QUIET PARADE centers low-sensory accessibility\, all are welcome and it is important that everyone who wishes to participate is able to do so. To help ensure an enjoyable and accessible experience for all parade attendees and participants\, organizers have created an Access Guide with information on the many aspects of the parade\, event site and access supports and resources available.

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.

Dugas set out to interpret the UNESCO-designated Fundy Biosphere. Working in reference to the historical Apollo 11 moon landing\, and seeing parallels with extraterrestrial landscapes\, LeBlanc and Dugas adopted the personae of astronauts to consider the relevance and beauty of their home planet from a different perspective. Over the course of three years\, LeBlanc and Dugas chronicled their exploration of this coastal area with recorded images\, sound and notes. Fundy presents this material in a video-installation\, accompanied by found objects\, props\, photographs\, and other documentation.

But living rooms are private spaces packed with emotions and history\, as well as social and political investments. The kind of living room we create can reveal our background\, our values\, our social position\, and our aspirations. Even the privilege of having a living room speaks volumes when so many people live in precarious situations\, are without shelter\, or have been displaced from their homes and traditional lands. \nThis exhibition explores the many dynamics of domestic environments by staging a radically re-imagined living room in the gallery space. Unpacking the Living Room will host thoughtful community discussions about craft and art\, amateurism and professionalism\, leisure and labour\, and the private and the political. Through playful and insightful interventions\, Unpacking the Living Room invites community members to reflect on the histories and ideologies that ground understandings of self\, home\, belonging\, and resilience. \n– Julie Hollenbach\, curator[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default”

The first phase follows a group of friends as they attempt to construct self-portraits. The second phase of the performance sees the friends forgo the arduous task of performing femininity to perfection. Opting instead to glitch\, disembody and otherwise intervene in the prescriptive works of mainstream feminine gurus such as Jane Fonda\, Martha Stewart\, Sheryl Sandberg\, and Iliza Schleslinger. This phase of the performance witnesses the friends’ collective embrace of the queer pleasure of gender failure. Visitors are invited to drop-in or attend the whole performance. Financial support for this performance from Arts Nova Scotia is gratefully acknowledged.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit”
