    Arnie Lipsey: Past. Tense.

    • Past. Tense. presents a series of narrative portraits by Toronto-based artist Arnie Lipsey that navigate the tension between memory and imagination, revealing the interpretive layers through which family narratives are continually reshaped. 

    Tracey-Mae Chambers: They are loved-an epidemic of grief

    • Functioning both as a site for commemoration and a catalyst for dialogue, this site-specific installation raises awareness of the lives lost due to the opioid crisis in Canada.


      Remix

    • Using collage as a metaphor for the construction and continual evolution of identity, this exhibition considers the various ways in which the act of collage-making mirrors how lived experience, cultural influences, and memories shape our self-perception.  

    Common Threads: Aurora Public Art Festival

    • Common Threads: Aurora Public Art Festival presents three large-scale art installations by Khadija Aziz, Yifu Ding & Zishuo Li, and Roda Medhat in the Mirkopoulos Plateia that explore cultural heritage and identity through diverse textile practices, encouraging audiences to consider their relationship to textiles as symbols of visibility, belonging, and place.
