Artist Daze Jefferies and guest curator Emily Critch discuss Jefferies’ new major solo exhibition, stay here stay how stay.
Daze Jefferies, a white settler artist, writer, and educator, delves into oceanic narratives, crafting counter-narratives of queer, trans, and sex worker worlds. Through her creative pursuits, Jefferies skillfully employs a counter-historical approach to transfeminine belonging in Newfoundland and Labrador. Emily Critch, a Mi’kmaw and settler curator and writer, brings a rich curatorial background with projects such as "falling through our fingers" and "these are our monuments." Their discussion will spotlight their unique collaborative journey and Jefferies’ creative research practice.

An advance peek of our new exhibition Erica Rutherford: Her Lives and Works with visiting curator Pan Wendt.
Most recently presented at the National Gallery of Canada, Erica Rutherford: Her Lives and Works surveys the fascinating and multifaceted career of Erica Rutherford (b. Edinburgh, 1923 – d. Charlottetown, 2008), the first Prince Edward Island artist to be featured at the prestigious Venice Biennale.
Rutherford’s work explores themes of persona and gender, home and landscape, and her life was shaped by the search for identity and community. The exhibition includes over 100 works, accompanied by memorabilia and photographs. The exhibition opens to the public on November 21, 2025.
