Beginning at 630 Yates Street, continuing into downtown Victoria
While the exhibition Life Stories gives space to the objects and associated memories that inhabit our lives, Connie Morey’s (UVic Alumni, MEd ’07, Phd ‘17) performed sculpture Hearing Voices explores the voices and stories of life in seemingly uninhabited spaces. As a way to extend Life Stories beyond what we see and hear in the Gallery into the surrounding downtown neighbourhood, Connie will carry a collection of abandoned spaces on her back as she walks through the streets and alleys of Victoria. Through walking, she activates spaces that are seen as inactive, exploring what it might look like to hear the voices of those who inhabit spaces deemed vacant. What is the voice of a decomposing building, of the overgrowth of nature on concrete walls, of the layered processes of graffiti on unkept structures? What are the life stories of the spaces we don’t often see?

Join us for an afternoon of art discussion with David Ellingsen, a local Victoria artist whose work focuses on environmental themes such as climate, biodiversity loss, and deforestation. During the talk, Ellingsen will discuss some of the pieces featured in the gallery’s current exhibition, Promise to Place; Building Relationship with the Land. Works currently on display include pieces from several of Ellingsen’s projects such as Silent Sea, Unknown Entities, and The Last Stand, all of which provide unique commentary on environmentalism and the relationship between humans and the natural world. At the end of the artist talk, there will be a 20-minute question-and-answer period. We have provided the link for the artist talk below. We hope to see you there!
