Opening
Celebrate the opening of Let’s Connect Tomorrow and At the Edge of Two Worlds on February 10 from 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm!
We're turning the Atrium into a Dance floor with DJ Axel Sundelin from 9:00 - 10:00 pm!
Let’s Connect Tomorrow, curated by Jason Penney and Cyril Butler, considers the potential metamorphosis that queer identity will experience as we navigate the future and reckon with the past. This show features the artwork of Kai Bryan, Santiago Guzmán, Daze Jefferies, Leeroy New, Mal Parrott, Eden Potter, Tabita Rezaire, and Grace Wardlaw that moves through various ways queer lives may take shape, reckoning with past and future horrors while also sharing the delights of simply existing.
At the Edge of Two Worlds features augmented reality artwork by Chun Hua Catherine Dong that blurs the boundaries of the actual and the virtual. Dong explores the body—often her own body—to activate social commentary on gender, cultural identity, migration and digital diaspora.
Admission to the Art Gallery exhibitions will be free during the event. Refreshments will be available.
