Join Robert Chafe for a panel discussion, hosted by Angela Antle of CBC, on his poignant play Between Breaths, about the life of Whale Man, Dr. Jon Lien, who pioneered techniques for rescuing whales entrapped in fishing nets. Afterward, visit our hands-on display highlighting the work done by Whale Release and Strandings Newfoundland and Labrador, the group inspired by the work of Dr. Jon Lien.
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.
