Threads: Weaving Narratives
Metchosin ArtPod Gallery presents Threads: Weaving Narratives, an exhibition delving into fibre and threads as both material and metaphor.
Discover powerful stories and connections through artistic themes of memory, identity, and community. Experience a vibrant tapestry of creativity, where every thread and fibre narrates a unique story, weaving together the rich narratives of our lives and community connections.
This fibre-forward exhibition welcomed submissions in any medium — painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, textiles, digital work, mixed media, installations, and more — that responded to the idea of threads as connectors, storytellers, and agents of disruption, transformation, and renewal. Work that uses fibre or thread directly, as well as work that interprets their qualities or symbolism through other materials and approaches are included in the exhibition.
This exhibition was curated by Phyllis Schwartz (2010) and a curatorial team from the Metchosin ArtPod Collective. It was juried by Elizabeth Carefoot.
Show Gone: Performance by Ame Henderson Projects (Toronto) + Provincija (Croatia)
A new duet that plays with light and darkness to explore the experience of endings.
The Dance Centre and Vancouver International Dance Festival present the acclaimed Canadian choreographer Ame Henderson and Croatian director Matija Ferlin in Show Gone, a new duet that plays with light and darkness to explore the felt experience of endings – political, social and personal ones.
The “snap to black” and the revealed tableaux that follow become a motif exposing the impossibility of controlling the narrative. Again and again a new world appears, fit for their back-and-forth of confession and revelation. From endless endings gradually emerges the feeling of a beginning.
