   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.

   Artist Bio:
   Amanda Marie is a ceramic artist currently based in Lekwungen Territory off Canada’s pacific coast, whose creative practice is heavily influenced and inspired by the alien elements of nature. Amanda’s work endeavours to challenge the traditional techniques of craft and questions the ideas of perfection, defectiveness, and belonging in the medium, bending the structured methods that shape the practice. Utilizing her background in environmental studies and geology, she seeks to enhance the connection to earth, through playing with elements in ceramic processes that so often replicate, distort and remix the natural creative processes that exists in nature. Amanda's studio was founded in 2017 and currently her practice consists of making unique one of a kind ceramics and small batch productions.

   February 17, 2024 06:00 PM      May 27, 2024 12:00 AM

   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
