  • If we want to change the world, we have to change the way we play.'

There will be a live DJ pumping out the tunes and everyone is welcome to hop on the mic to provide some unique and positive commentary on unfolding games.

VISUAL ARTS

  • Painting by Desiree Martinez

    "Historias de Ceramicas Collection" Sentiments have been my favourite medium to paint, suddenly, clay appeared. And I found myself appreciating everything that had broken me in life. By combining both mediums, I found acceptance of such sorrow. I evolved by liberating myself from control.

  • By Ehiko Odeh

    Womanhood: My collages offer a visual exploration of the dual nature of womanhood. They highlight the traditional aspects of caregiving and nurturing, while also celebrating the liberated, expressive side that challenges societal norms. Through layered textures and vibrant colours, I aim to capture the complex and resilient nature of womanhood through different stages.

  • Whispers Infiltrate Through the Walls

    Three years later the same tea brews on the stove top. Smells of cardamom, cinnamon and cloves flow through the house. Three years after leaving my family’s home and leaving the double life I was living as a closeted queer Muslim teen, I moved back. In this time, I found myself experiencing many conflicting emotions that I couldn’t begin to express and dissect for myself. I photographed myself in various areas of the house in black and white and wrote quotes and drawings over them. Words that have been spoken to me hundreds of times, and the responses I’ve endlessly repeated myself. With this series, I explore how my relationship with religion, family and my own queer identity has grown and how that has manifested in the atmosphere of our home. These self-portraits are a reflection of my journey into navigating and understanding an environment I was no longer familiar with.

SCULPTURE

  • By Chimemelie Okafor

    "Omalicha" meaning beauty in my language igbo, is a redhead sculpture which was sculpted with imperfections to challenge the societal beauty standards. The rough surface, uneven glaze and asymmetrical features encourage viewers to confront their insecurities and embrace them. By interacting with the piece, either through close observation or touch, the viewer is drawn into a reflection about self-acceptance and the beauty found within imperfection.

     "When Contradictions Accumulate" by Kristine White & Heidi Wai-Yee Chan.

    A live audio-visual performance by collaborative duo Kristine White and Heidi Chan, titled after Gaston Bachelard, philosopher and namesake of Chan’s experimental music project, Bachelard says, “Everything comes alive when contradictions accumulate.” Heidi Chan and Kristine White have come together to explore this concept in the context of health and illness, ability and debility, through experimental music, shadow puppetry, and digital projection. 

    Measuring Beyond Extraction by Erica Whyte

    'Measuring Beyond Extraction' is an installation interested in the relationship between water, data, and our global responsibility to water justice. Using original footage of Canada's natural springs, Touch Designer, and pattern recognition, it visualizes the mesmerizing flow of water and caustics, prompting a deeper contemplation of hydrology and bodies of water. Projected onto cascading fabrics the installation blends art and science, challenging how computers quantify and interpret the natural world."
