untilLegacy Downtown | 630 Yates St. Under the Shade of the Lotus Tree: Pari Azarm Motamedi and Rozita Moinishirazi is an exhibition that delves into the deep impact of leaving one's homeland and the need for a connection to one's roots. This show explores the power of Persian poetry as a foundation of cultural preservation and self-expression via the works of Persian-Canadian artists Pari Azarm Motamedi and Rozita Moinishirazi. Motamedi and Moinishirazi expertly translate and modernize classic Persian symbols, and stories, uncovering hidden messages in poems and tackling socio-political challenges in their nation. These artists inspire us to consider the complications of displacement and the everlasting value of art in bridging cultural barriers with powerful vision and elegant brushwork. Organized by the West Vancouver Art Museum. Curated by Hilary Letwin and Anahita Ranjbar. Free & open to the public. Image: Rozita Moinishirazi, The Valley of Unity (detail), 2022.

Out of Place; Solo exhibition by Connie Morey
UVic Legacy Art Gallery posted an event in Ongoing Events
untilOut of Place delves into the relationships between the ground beneath our feet and the roofs over our heads. Through sculpture, photography and stop-motion projection, artist Connie Michele Morey explores ecological displacement (a colonial separation from the earth as home) and its impact on labour and housing dislocation. The exhibition grows out of tensions embodied in the artist’s mixed settler and Indigenous identity, alongside her personal experiences with housing insecurity. Emerging from travel to over fifty former village and industry sites on the east and west coasts of Canada, Out of Place questions what it means to be at home with the body, community, and earth.

Along with moderator Eli Hirtle (Indigenous Curator, Open Space Arts Society), join us for an interactive art experience reflecting on kitchen table talks. 'Metis Kitchen Table Talks' were started by Cathy Mattes and Sherry Farrell Racette, two Métis scholars and knowledge keepers. Many Métis people have fond memories of their mothers, grandmothers, fathers, aunties and uncles passing on knowledge in the heart of the home, the kitchen. Bring some tea and your latest project materials to work with as we gather around our computer screens to bead, eat, craft, share, laugh, smoke, cry, and bitch together. Everyone welcome!
