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:20251128 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260119 DTSTAMP:20260422T223519 CREATED:20251118T191747Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251119T132504Z UID:10000267-1764288000-1768780799@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Trailblazing African Nova Scotian Women Educators: Paintings by Letitia Fraser 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”]Presented in partnership with Atlantis Conference 2025: Revolution and Resurgence: Celebrating Feminist Publishing  \nCommissioned by the Nova Scotia Women’s History Society\nCollection of Mount Saint Vincent University\, Gift of the Nova Scotia Women’s History Society \nThese paintings\, by African Nova Scotian artist Letitia Fraser\, were commissioned by the Nova Scotia Women’s History Society for a public history installation created in collaboration with the Truro African Nova Scotian community\, unveiled on May 23\, 2025\, at Truro’s Reparations Park. \nThe Truro installation honours four generations of trailblazing African Nova Scotian women\, whose contributions to teaching and leadership in education span over a century.  It includes Fraser’s portraits of educators Martha Eleanor Jones\, Willena Beatrice (Corbin Gabriel) Jones\, Donna Lee Byard Sealey\, and Ann Michelle (Shelley) MacLean\, as well as Bruce Wood’s portrait of Vera (Halfkenney) Clyke\, the long-standing organist of Truro’s Zion United Baptist Church. They are from “the Marsh\,” “the Hill\,” and “the Island\,” all three traditional Black communities in Truro. For generations African Nova Scotians only had access to poorly funded segregated schools\, and racism in education harmed Black students socially\, politically\, and economically—through their leadership and advocacy work\, these women fought to make Nova Scotia’s education system more equitable. Their contributions have had a lasting impact—not only on their students and community members\, but on the lives of future generations of Black students in Truro and throughout Nova Scotia. \nThe Nova Scotia Women’s History Society has generously donated Letitia Fraser’s four portraits and theme motif painting to Mount Saint Vincent University. We are grateful to have Letitia’s work\, which speaks so beautifully to the indelible contributions of African Nova Scotian women on the province’s history\, in our holdings. \nThe Nova Scotia Women’s History Society (NSWHS) researches and makes known the untold stories of the contributions of women in Nova Scotia. Founded in 2013\, the NSWHS has organized conferences\, speaker series\, lectures\, events\, a monument\, and written materials pertaining to women’s history in Nova Scotia. \nLetitia Fraser is an interdisciplinary artist whose work centres on her experience as an African Nova Scotian woman growing up in the province’s Black communities of North Preston and Beechville. Descending from a long line of artists\, Fraser’s creative instincts were nurtured early in life. Through a combination of painting and textiles\, she unearths previously untold narratives and pays homage to her community’s history of quilting. \nRecent exhibitions include Family Patterns with Darcie Bernhardt at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia (2022)\, Every Chain at the Chester Art Gallery\, Halifax (2022)\, Letitia Fraser at MSVU Art Gallery\, Halifax (2019)\, and Mommy’s Patches: Traditions & Superstitions at the Anna Leonowens Gallery\, Halifax (2019). Fraser graduated with a BFA from NSCAD University in 2019 and is the recipient of numerous awards including the 2018 Nova Scotia Talent Trust RBC Emerging Artist Award. In 2022\, she was longlisted for the 2022 Sobey Art Award. Her work is included in several private and public collections including the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia\, Scotiabank\, the Canada Council and the Wedge Collection. In the summer of 2025\, Fraser was an Artist-in-Residence Fellow with the Slavery North Initiative at the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. \n[/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_gallery css=”” type=”image_grid” images=”21374\,21371\,21370\,21372″ image_grid_loading=”default” display_title_caption=”true” layout=”4″ item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”7″ load_in_animation=”none”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/trailblazing-african-nova-scotian-women-educators-paintings-by-letitia-fraser/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/gif:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Martha-Eleanor-Jones-1860-1918-e1763492850988.gif END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250906 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251110 DTSTAMP:20260422T223519 CREATED:20250722T175042Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250911T131202Z UID:10000265-1757116800-1762732799@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Prospect 20: Silas Wamsley | Ceaseless 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”]\nAbout the exhibition\nKjipuktuk/Halifax artist Silas Wamsley’s work is inspired by 15th century Italian Quattrocento painters such as Carlo Crivelli and Cosmé Tura whose work combines the intricate ornamentation and iconography of Gothic era with the meticulous realism and emotional intensity of Renaissance art.  Throughout this transitional period\, religious themes remained a central focus. Gilded haloes disappeared from the heads of Jesus\, Mary and the saints\, giving way to more visceral depictions of the spirit-made-flesh\, but the intent of such artworks remained consistent: they were to aid worship\, provide moral instruction\, and glorify both Church and Empire. \nLike the artworks they reference\, Wamsley’s sumptuous oil paintings express a complex relationship between corporeal and extracorporeal notions of being. His compositionally dense canvasses depict human\, and human-ish\, beings in transitional states\, spouting hooves and horns\, vines\, and thorns. Though rendered with naturalism\, they hold unnatural postures as if they are suspended in time\, floating in opulent spaces unbounded by the laws of physics and gravity. They are adorned with ornate headwear\, capes\, and armor\, and carry delicate\, beautiful\, and arcane objects with ceremonial reverence. \nTo be alive is to be in constant contact with both the sacred and the profane. \nArticulating a productive\, and distinctly queer ambivalence toward ontological distinctions between sacred and profane\, body and spirit\, real and symbolic\, Wamsley’s work eschews the hierarchies\, binaries\, and fixed iconography that gave 15th century religious art its legibility. Instead\, Wamsley explores how bodies\, identities\, and symbols are unfixed and impermanent\, encouraging viewers to interpret his work (and by extension\, the world) through the lens of their own embodied experience.[/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 Fall Exhibitions!\nSaturday\, September 6 at 1:00- 3:00pm \nPlease join us on September 6 from 1:00-3:00 pm for a relaxed reception to celebrate MSVU Art Gallery’s Fall exhibitions\, Prospect 20: Silas Wamsley | Ceaseless and i look to the skies| Jude Abu Zaineh.

At its center is Maqlouba\, a traditional dish that is always shared\, an emblem of hospitality and community of great cultural and historical significance. Maqlouba anchors the work as a layered metaphor for diasporic life\, where food becomes ritual\, soft power\, and cultural preservation\, its ceremonial nature binding intimacy to sovereignty. Here\, Maqlouba becomes an archive\, a vessel for memory\, and a catalyst for transformation. Abu Zaineh works across disciplines including bioart\, video\, sculpture\, and textiles\, layering methods and materials into an evolving constellation of meaning. \nThe gallery unfolds like a contemplative space\, where patterns repeat across engraved architectural forms\, textiles\, glass\, and wallpaper\, enveloping the visitor in a language of visual rhythm and embrace. Archival videos thread through the installation\, carrying gestures\, voices\, and memories forward as acts of preservation within a landscape of erasure. Some of these patterns are cultivated in petri dishes from the remnants of Maqlouba\, from foraged plants\, soil\, and other fragments of everyday life. In these contained microcosms\, transformation\, migration\, and decay occur in parallel\, creating a living metaphor for the shifting nature of culture and identity. The petri dish becomes both container and containment\, a quiet stage for cycles of preservation and loss. \nTo look to the skies is to enact a gesture both intimate and universal: in prayer\, in grief\, screaming\, in disbelief\, in wonder. This pseudo-sanctuary invites contemplation while also confronting the realities of exile\, migration\, and displacement\, holding space for both refuge and unraveling. The works here are steeped in the tensions between comfort and disquiet\, belonging and estrangement\, sanctity and the secular. They carry the emotional weight of Palestinian life under colonial violence while offering a horizon\, reminding us that wherever we are\, we stand beneath the same celestial canopy. Abu Zaineh invites an encounter where the culturally personal and the planetary\, the grounded and the infinite\, exist in fragile contradictions.[/vc_column_text][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=”1/2″ 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 and Artist Talk\nCelebrate our Fall Exhibitions1\nSaturday\, September 6 at 1:00-3:00pm\nJude Abu Zaineh Exhibition Tour: 1:00-1:45pm \nPlease join us on September 6 from 1:00 -3:00 pm for a relaxed reception to celebrate MSVU Art Gallery’s Fall exhibitions\,  i look to the skies| Jude Abu Zaineh and Prospect 20: Ceaseless | Silas Wamsley.

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:20260422T223519 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:20260422T223519 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.

Repetitive acts of human interaction can transform the purpose and history of a place or object\, shaping its significance and meaning over time. \nThrough these selected works from the MSVU Permanent Art Collection\, we invite you to contemplate the ways in which humans have shaped – and been shaped by – nature. From the carefully manicured paths of public parks to the untamed beauty of rural landscapes\, each location tells a story of human influence and interaction. Through photographs of the Halifax Public Gardens\, depictions of public and private spaces and mass-produced objects\, we explore how repetitive acts have left their mark on the environment and how the environment\, in turn\, has left its mark on us.[/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_gallery css=”” type=”image_grid” images=”20859\,20860\,20861\,20862\,20864\,20865\,20866\,20867\,20868″ image_grid_loading=”default” display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”7″ load_in_animation=”none”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/marks-recreation-works-from-the-msvu-permanent-collection/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/1981.004-a.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240621 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240818 DTSTAMP:20260422T223519 CREATED:20240424T135609Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260112T144525Z UID:10000255-1718928000-1723939199@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Collective: Miranda Bellamy and Amanda Fauteux 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]Miranda Bellamy and Amanda Fauteux’s collaborative practice identifies and extends the stories of plants through site-specific research and experimentation. By listening to plants and responding through interdisciplinary projects\, they make space for the critical revision of human and particularly settler-colonial histories and to reflect on material accountability\, reciprocity\, and ways of seeing. \n‘Collective’ has been a process of accumulation. Over several years and across the many seemingly disparate locations the artists have visited\, they have met with and photographed hundreds of marked trees. In their images\, the makers of the varied traces etched into or painted on each tree are absent. We are left to wonder who is responsible for these marks\, and why? \nThe trees and their marks have told stories of loss\, trauma\, healing\, renewal\, cooperation\, and guardianship. Through their work Bellamy and Fauteux consider how we might\, in approaching our relationship with trees through a new lens\, be able to see past ourselves in a way that recognizes the significance of our interconnection.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nLinks\nTo read the essay on ‘Collective’ by Emily Jan for Contemporary Hum\, follow the link: Collective – Contemporary Hum.

Her craft is joyful and beautiful\, while simultaneously interrogating icons of Western colonialism\, such as museum collections\, domestic gardens\, and landscape 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” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][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”]\n \n \n \n Introduction\n Sarah Maloney's Pleasure Ground: A Feminist Take on the Natural World\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Sarah-Maloney-Pleasure-Ground-1-1-1024x683.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/1.-Introduction.mp3\n \n \n Exhibition Information\n Sarah Maloney’s Pleasure Ground: A Feminist Take on the Natural World\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Sarah-Maloney-Pleasure-Ground-1-1-1024x683.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/2.-Exhibition-Information.mp3\n \n \n Milk and Honey\n Material Remains\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Sarah-Maloney-Pleasure-Ground-1-1-1024x683.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/3.-Milk-and-Honey.mp3\n \n \n Botanical Studies\n Sarah Maloney’s Pleasure Ground: A Feminist Take on the Natural World\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Sarah-Maloney-Pleasure-Ground-1-1-1024x683.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/4.-Botanical-Studies.mp3\n \n \n Collect-Arrange series\n Sarah Maloney’s Pleasure Ground: A Feminist Take on the Natural World\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Sarah-Maloney-Pleasure-Ground-1-1-1024x683.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/5.-Collect-Arrange.mp3\n \n \n Pleasure Grounds\n Sarah Maloney’s Pleasure Ground: A Feminist Take on the Natural World\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Sarah-Maloney-Pleasure-Ground-1-1-1024x683.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/6.-Pleasure-Grounds.mp3\n \n \n Skin\n Sarah Maloney’s Pleasure Ground: A Feminist Take on the Natural World\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Sarah-Maloney-Pleasure-Ground-1-1-1024x683.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/7.-Skin.mp3\n \n \n Water Level\n Sarah Maloney’s Pleasure Ground: A Feminist Take on the Natural World\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Sarah-Maloney-Pleasure-Ground-1-1-1024x683.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/8.-Water-Level.mp3\n \n \n Knit and crochet body parts\n Sarah Maloney’s Pleasure Ground: A Feminist Take on the Natural World\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Sarah-Maloney-Pleasure-Ground-1-1-1024x683.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/9.-Body-Parts.mp3\n \n \n Messenger\n Sarah Maloney’s Pleasure Ground: A Feminist Take on the Natural World\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Sarah-Maloney-Pleasure-Ground-1-1-1024x683.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/10.-Messenger.mp3\n \n \n Reflection series\n Sarah Maloney’s Pleasure Ground: A Feminist Take on the Natural World\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Sarah-Maloney-Pleasure-Ground-1-1-1024x683.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/11.-Reflection-series.mp3\n \n \n Collapse\n Sarah Maloney’s Pleasure Ground: A Feminist Take on the Natural World\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Sarah-Maloney-Pleasure-Ground-1-1-1024x683.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/12.-Collapse.mp3\n \n \n Artist Bio -

column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Low-Beer’s series Specimen has a quality that distinguishes it as a brave next chapter in her practice. Specimen also remains true to the themes that have grounded her practice for decades: the dynamics of human relationships\, the interwoven experience of the physical and the psychological\, and the simultaneous power and vulnerability of the body. The Specimen works are domestic-size ceramic sculptures that integrate other found and modified elements\, including fabric and wire. The assemblages are rooted in abstraction and embrace absurdity\, resisting any easy or conclusive reading. Elements of the sculptures serve as stand-ins for larger human forms and have a narrative quality. Specimen also offers a look inward\, at the insides\, the viscera of the body. Through her work in general\, and most vividly in this recent Specimen series\, Low-Beer speaks precisely about her own experiences and observations\, while simultaneously giving space for the viewer to be triggered\, engaged and enchanted.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner 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” overflow=”visible” 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]\nOpening Reception\nSaturday\, March 9 at 1:00-3:00pm \nAll are invited to a relaxed reception for MSVU Art Gallery’s spring exhibitions\, Susan Low-Beer: Specimen and  Sarah Maloney’s Pleasure Ground: A Feminist Take on the Natural World.

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.

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.

A lot of her recent work wrestles with what it means to be living inside the climate emergency. Her work finds home both in traditional gallery contexts and an expanded field of other public and semi-public spaces and is always created with a keen awareness—informed by a mixed Mexican and European-newcomer Canadian background—that multiple realities exist alongside one another. She has shown her work in galleries across Canada and internationally\, done residencies with Arts House Melbourne\, Santa Fe Art Institute\, Robert Rauschenberg Foundation and Camargo Foundation\, among others\, and received artist grants from the Ontario Arts Council and Canada Council for the Arts. She has a Master of Architecture from the University of Waterloo.[/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”][vc_column_text]\nAbout the Curator\nJosephine Mills is the Director/Curator of the University of Lethbridge Art Gallery and a Professor in the Department of Art. She has worked as a curator and public programmer at art galleries and artist-run centres in Saskatoon and Vancouver. Mills has a PhD in Communication Studies from Concordia University\, Montréal and is a graduate of the Museum Leadership Institute at the Getty Center. Her research interests focus on socially-engaged art and gallery practices\, along with issues of public engagement in art galleries. Mills is part of Mootookakio’ssin (distant awareness)\, a project to connect people living on traditional Blackfoot territory (Treaty 7\, Southern Alberta\, Canada) with non-sacred\, historical Blackfoot items housed in museum collections in Europe through digital imagery\, exhibitions\, and outreach.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container”

Publication\nFracture/Suture is a print-based artist book showcasing the work and words of five artists at the intersection of first aid and art. Curator Undine Foulds offers a helpful guide of common first aid frameworks translated for artists and arts workers. The project proposes the idea of ‘wilderness’ as an internal and external reference: an environment that governs itself\, where you’re reliant on the things you’ve carried with you\, on ground that is uneven underfoot. Traveling through\, one may encounter circumstances with potential to hurt\, to injure. How can slips\, blisters\, and breaks and be mended? What helpful stitches connect torn tissue\, and better yet\, prevent more injury from the start? \nArtist contributions by Kit Holden Ada\, Lux Gow-Habrich\, Liv Mansveld\, Dan Merino\, and Amber Santos\nDesign by Copy Shop Books\nIllustrations by Undine Foulds\nPublished by MSVU Art Gallery[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]\nAbout the Curator\nUndine Foulds is an interdisciplinary artist\, facilitator\, and curator of Métis and Irish decent. She knows home along the Kootenay River\, the swah’netk’qhu/Columbia River\, the Salish Sea\, and is currently living with the North Atlantic Ocean\, in Kjipuktuk/Halifax\, where she received an Interdisciplinary BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 2020. Motivated by doing things with and for others (collective art projects\, backcountry hiking\, tanning deer hides\, or sharing dinner)\, she endeavors to connect more than keep separate. Undine often makes things out of clay and is more interested in what a vessel can contain than its name. \nUndine was Halifax’s Young Curator\, 2021-22\, a position shared with Dalhousie Art Gallery\, MSVU Art Gallery and Saint Mary’s University Art Gallery\, funded in part by Young Canada Works – Building Careers in Heritage.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container”

of scholarship from across disciplines at Mount Saint Vincent University. Dissemination of academic research in academia normally involves the written word published in books or scholarly journals. RiV exhibition participants use a variety of mediums such as mixed media\, musical performance\, painting\, photography\, textiles\, sculpture\, and video compilation to explore new and alternative forms of scholarly communication to connect audiences with their research. RiV encourages intentional\, arts-informed practices in research to deepen understanding\, enrich scholarship\, encourage community partnerships\, and enhance public engagement in academia through the creative process. \nDelayed for over two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, the organizers thank the participants of RiV for their perseverance and dedication in remaining a part of the originally envisioned exhibition. We acknowledge SSHRC funding support for this project. Organized by the MSVU Library & Archives and MSVU Art Gallery\, Research in View is on display in the MSVU Library\, located in the E.

in View (RiV) exhibition showcases a visual representation of scholarship from across disciplines at Mount Saint Vincent University. Dissemination of academic research in academia normally involves the written word published in books or scholarly journals. RiV exhibition participants use a variety of mediums such as mixed media\, musical performance\, painting\, photography\, textiles\, sculpture\, and video compilation to explore new and alternative forms of scholarly communication to connect audiences with their research. RiV encourages intentional\, arts-informed practices in research to deepen understanding\, enrich scholarship\, encourage community partnerships\, and enhance public engagement in academia through the creative process. \nDelayed for over two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, the organizers thank the participants of RiV for their perseverance and dedication in remaining a part of the originally envisioned exhibition. We acknowledge SSHRC funding support for this project. \nOrganized by the MSVU Library & Archives and MSVU Art Gallery\, Research in View is on display in the MSVU Library\, located in the E.

MSVU Art Gallery Collections Assistant\, Kelsey McLaughlin\, and Gallery Technician\, David Dahms\, will transfer select artworks from storage to the Gallery in order to photograph each piece and update collection records. The focus will be on works by Alice Egan Hagen (1872-1972)\, a renowned Nova Scotian ceramicist and MSVU alumna. The university’s permanent collection holds over 100 paintings and ceramics by Alice Egan Hagen\, which were donated to the school by the artist in 1966. \nThis documentation work by Kelsey and David will take place in the Gallery\, alongside a selection of paintings by Alice Egan Hagen and other artists from the permanent collection. \n  \nAbout Alice Egan Hagen\n\nAlice Hagen was born in Halifax to Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Egan and his wife Margaret. Starting in 1882\, she studied at the Mount Saint Vincent Academy and later enrolled in the Victoria School of Art and Design. In the 1890s\, Hagen studied with the Nova Scotia artist Bessie Brown and later with Adelaide Alsop Robineau\, the American painter and potter\, in New York. While she worked in both oils and watercolours\, china painting was her first passion. By 1896 she had acquired a sufficient degree of fame to be 1 of 16 artists commissioned to paint a state dinner service for the Governor General. Hagen is considered to be the founder of the studio pottery movement in Nova Scotia although it was only in 1931\, at the age of 60 and after a tour of Europe\, that she set up her own pottery studio and kiln in Mahone Bay. She studied with Robert Prescott\, a potter located in Lantz\, Nova Scotia\, and began to work with local clays. She remained an active potter into her 90s.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/documenting-the-permanent-collection-work-s-on-view/ CATEGORIES:Nova Scotian Artists ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/1966.1.45-AEH-scaled-e1667339250791.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20221015 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20221016 DTSTAMP:20260422T223519 CREATED:20220429T174814Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230711T144941Z UID:10000242-1665792000-1665878399@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:QUIET PARADE 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” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][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”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text max_width=”750″]Organized by Aislinn Thomas\, in collaboration with 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. At the parade\, Access Team members will be at a Welcome Table and circulating through the site should attendees need assistance or information at any point during the event. Thank you in advance for helping to make this event accessible. QUIET PARADE takes an experimental approach to collective access and organizers hope that it will be a positive experience for all![/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][image_with_animation image_url=”19891″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_target=”_blank” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”small_depth” image_loading=”default” max_width=”custom” img_link=”https://goo.gl/maps/myzGTm2qvgLP7pur9″ max_width_custom=”90%”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text max_width=”750″]A = parade route on a flat\, paved path\nB = accessible parking\, accessible washrooms and accessible entrance to the park\nC = paved path that goes uphill\nD = parking lot and entrance to the park with a paved path that goes uphill\nE = paved path and stairs into the park \nPlease consult the Access Guide for additional details about the park and parade route. \n[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][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=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”19882″ image_size=”medium” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” img_link_target=”_blank” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” img_link=”https://docs.google.com/document/d/16v1eOhJVUH6YFHkRefDJjPpSVk6YenJlgHUyl6SwAJ8/edit?usp=sharing”][vc_column_text]\nAccess Guide\n[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]The Access Guide outlines the access needs and supports that have been integrated into QUIET PARADE\, such as COVID-19 safety protocol\, live visual description\, seating options\, guidelines for how to reduce fragrance and toxicants\, ASL interpretation\, artist info and more.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”2″ divider_color=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]QUIET PARADE is guided by the understanding that accessibility is contextual\, varied\, and dynamic.

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.

With tender attentiveness to the land and its inhabitants\, MacDonald planted these gardens across the land known as Canada from 1995-2003. He also created a series of accompanying video works\, using his documentation of the gardens and their butterflies. One of the first gardens was located on the Mount Saint Vincent University campus as part of the 1997 exhibition Digital Garden. Since 2019\, MSVU Art Gallery has been in conversation with curator Lisa Myers and the Finding Flowers project\, seeking to renew the quiet\, contemplative nature of Mike’s work through revisiting and re-planting his original butterfly garden. Lisa Myers visited MSVU Art Gallery June 27-30 to begin the re-planting of the butterfly garden.[/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_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]\nGarden Location\nThe garden planted in 1997 was located along a section of a retaining wall that borders the parking lot on the north side of Seton Academic Centre.

MSVU Art Gallery is wanting to re-build the garden with the help of others who share those values and a love of plants. If you would like to donate a plant\, in the form of a small transplant from your garden\, germinated seeds\, or other form of plant sharing\, it would be most welcome. Each garden that Mike created was unique and this re-planting will include the same plants as the original. We have already secured donations for a number of plants but are still hoping to find a few more – if you would like to donate a plant from the list below\, please contact claire.dykhuis@msvu.ca (before June 30 if possible) and indicate which plant you would like to offer to the garden.

The exhibition 50 Bits and Pieces: an MSVU Art Gallery Retrospective marks this semicentennial. With the support of an Arts Nova Scotia Commission Grant\, Lisa Bouraly and David Clark\, two collaborators invested in archives and digitization\, were invited to scour the MSVU Art Gallery archives—media holdings\, exhibition files\, catalogue collections\, collections\, and other historical records—to find out what was reflected about the Gallery’s history. Culled from more than 700 exhibitions\, 1000 workshops\, and 800 objects in the collection\, 50 Bits and Pieces presents 50 unique yet illustrative moments from MSVU Art Gallery’s past. The original exhibition was to open in 2020\, however\, the global COVID-19 pandemic forced a change in plans. The installation was moved to the fall of 2021 and this extended timeline presented an opportunity for new ways to engage with the archival material. The result is an online interface\, created by David\, that offers collages of the “bits and pieces” selected by Lisa from the archive\, including passages and excerpts from documents\, speeches\, research notes\, exhibition installation photographs\, videos\, and media coverage. The exhibition is a culmination of these 50 moments and their corresponding archival material\, adapted into an immersive installation at the Gallery\, commemorating its 50th anniversary.[/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” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ 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” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”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_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ 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” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]\n \n \n \n Exhibition Information\n 50 Bits and Pieces: an MSVU Art Gallery Retrospective\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1-1-1024x574.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/01-Exhibition-Information-1.wav\n \n \n Curator Statement - Lisa Bouraly\n 50 Bits and Pieces: an MSVU Art Gallery Retrospective\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1-1-1024x574.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/02-Curator-Statement-Lisa-Bouraly.wav\n \n \n Artist Statement - David Clark\n 50 Bits and Pieces: an MSVU Art Gallery Retrospective\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1-1-1024x574.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/03-Artist-Statement-David-Clark.mp3\n \n \n About the Curator - Lisa Bouraly\n 50 Bits and Pieces: an MSVU Art Gallery Retrospective\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1-1-1024x574.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/04-About-the-Curator-Lisa-Bouraly.wav\n \n \n About the Artist - David Clark\n 50 Bits and Pieces: an MSVU Art Gallery Retrospective\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1-1-1024x574.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/05-About-the-Artist-David-Clark.wav\n \n \n No HTML5 audio playback capabilities for this browser.

Celebrating a 50-year history (1971-2021)\, MSVU Art Gallery’s anniversary represents a unique opportunity to attempt to answer this question. During a year-long collaboration\, we worked with visual and textual archives from MSVU Art Gallery to produce an online interface designed to make our findings breathe new life into the Gallery’s history. Drawing from dispersed and fragmented archives\, a selection of 50 representative moments has been curated to encapsulate the Gallery’s 50-year history. This interface is an invitation to explore and revisit an institution which has devoted a significant part of its activities to the representation of women as cultural subjects and producers. The interface itself works as a navigation system and as an artistic and alternative database\, offering a constellation of 50 activities that encompasses the Gallery’s mission\, its work with surrounding communities\, and its support to artists from Atlantic Canada. Navigation of the interface is neither chronological nor thematic: the serendipitous discovery of Bits and Pieces content is punctuated by digital and animated collages that weave and layer sound\, video\, and other multimedia elements. This interactive navigation is meant to enable visitors to create their own connections\, impressions\, and interpretations of the Gallery’s archives. \nThis project would not have been possible without the invaluable support of the Gallery team: David Dahms\, Claire Dykhuis\, Laura Ritchie\, and Traci Steylen. We are also very grateful to Faiza Abdulle\, Adrian Fish\, Susan Gibson Garvey\, Ingrid Jenkner\, Connor Mackinnon\, Lori Mombourquette\, Kaya Panthier\, and Wiebke Schroeder for their contributions to this project. \n– Lisa Bouraly and David Clark \n[/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_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ 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” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”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\nLisa Bouraly is a researcher in Museum studies and a curator of contemporary art.
