The screening will be followed by a 45-minute panel discussion facilitated in partnership with CBC NL and Prajwala Dixit. A catered reception in the Level 2 lobby will conclude the event. In partnership with the Association of New Canadians and sponsored by IOC Rio Tinto.
Events & Programs
Reimagining the classic bedtime story, Matthew-Robin Nye explores how spaces of imagination can transcend categories like child and adult, inviting reflection on how we learn, feel, and connect to artwork across generations.
Through this work, he asks what it means to build environments that are open, attentive, and alive to shared experience—places where visitors can simply be, and where curiosity and presence unfold at their own rhythm.
