Ghostly Makers

“Ghostly Makers” exhibition features artists expressing diasporic identities using craft. Inspired by Avery Gordon’s “haunting” concept, the art gives voice to marginalized experiences. Carmen Levy-Milne, a cultural worker with a Jewish settler background, contributes to the show’s reparative, decolonial, and critical responses. The exhibition also delves into its space’s history and contemporary collection methods to explore cultural identity and memory.

Conversation: Materials and Methods with Olivia Michiko Gagnon, Coleman Nye and Laurie White

Join Olivia Michiko Gagnon and Coleman Nye in a discussion moderated by Laurie White as they explore their responses to the exhibition “Carole Itter: Only when I’m hauling water do I wonder if I’m getting any stronger.” The conversation will delve into the performative, feminist, and ecological aspects of Itter’s art, focusing on her use of found materials, text, language, and choreography to activate space. The talk will be audio-recorded and accessible online, with free admission for all interested participants.
