Created this piece for .art ‘s KINSHIP Artist Showcase at April 25th from 7-11pm. Come visit it (and a few others from me) in person and witness a collection of visual & performance art from 30+ multidisciplinary creators, who will be sharing their works surrounding the theme of “kinship: connecting with the land and to each other.” DM me for a link if you’re interested in getting tickets!
The Invitation:
Join us for a one-night exploration of visual art, written art and performance art by over thirty artists from across Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.
Hosted by Reclaiming Art Collective and in collaboration with Oldhand Coffee and The Imagination Forge and Oblique Media, our artists will invite you to reflect on the relationships all around us. From poets to painters, rappers and dancers, this artist cohort will take you on a journey, connecting to Land, lineage and each other.
Kinship is an exploration of the relationships that hold us - our ties to each other, to the land, to the waters, and to the unseen currents that move through all living things. Kinship invites us to notice the ways we are shaped by the places we come from, the communities that support us, and the responsibilities we carry in return. Kinship calls us to remember that we are part of an ongoing exchange in every ecosystem in both the natural and human world.
Through Kinship, we gather to celebrate relationship as living practice, rooted in belonging, stewardship, and art.
The Program:
Doors & Gallery Open: 7:00pm
Performances Begin: 7:30pm
Performances End: 10:30pm
Gallery Closes: 11pm
About Reclaiming Art:
We are a collective of artists and creatives located in the Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley Region of Southern BC. We reclaim art to explore all the parts of ourselves. Reclaiming art as our voices. Reclaiming art as a protest. Reclaiming art as healing. Reclaiming art as part of what it means to be a person in the world today.
