   Free Admission! September 9  from 11am to 4 pm   &    September 10 from 10am to 4pm
   In Sight Festival is the result of a unique collaboration between the Arts and Culture Colwood Society and Fort Rodd Hill NHS, Parks Canada. As partners in this endeavour, they appreciate the interconnections between the arts, culture, nature, and historical awareness in building strong community bonds. Expanding on last year's inaugural success, Arts and Culture Colwood president, Laura Davis has bravely augmented this year's cultural offerings with more diverse music and an expanded program. Thanks to Parks Canada, the park admission fees have been waived, which makes it a truly affordable event for everyone and a refreshing approach to bringing the community together.

   A projected video/interactive augmented reality installation by Kemi Craig, City of Victoria Artist in Residence.
   Made in collaboration with Hololabs, and facilitated by Kemi Craig, this interactive and immersive installation will spark conversations, challenge perceptions, and transport viewers into an experiential underwater landscape. The exhibition pulls inspiration from African spiritual practices of Orisha, the little-known history of expert free divers that existed throughout coastal communities in West Africa, and underwater worlds imagined by many artists and storytellers of the African diaspora including the electronic music duo, Drexciya.
   
   Exhibition runs until May 26, 2024

   Somewhere. Something. Sometime. – Matt Trahan at Deluge Contemporary Art
   March 22 to April 26, 2024
   Opening Friday, March 22 @ 7pm
   636 Yates St, Victoria | http://deluge.ca | Wed–Sat noon–5pm
    
   My work explores the possibilities and outcomes of cumulative mark-making, as well as the accidental beauty of found objects, detritus and chance. The slow accumulation of marks, which is common across the majority of my work on paper, transforms a drawing from an image into an object by way of process—sometimes arduous and mechanical, other times meditative and arbitrary. The labour invested in each piece imbues the work with a kind of humanity and the process/time spent returns my focus to the immediate present. In many ways, the work is a meditation on time and a conscious attempt to create something that doesn’t participate in a utilitarian system of meaning.
    
   Matt Trahan holds a BFA from the University of Western Ontario (2009) and an MFA from the University of Victoria (2012). In 2019, he opened an independent art gallery in Victoria called Empty Gallery, which held 13 solo exhibitions by various emerging and mid-career artists from across Canada before closing in 2021 due to the pandemic. He currently lives and works in Victoria.
