SUMMARY:The Play That Goes Wrong
DESCRIPTION:“It would be very wrong to miss this laugh-a-thon” – Calgary Herald\n“An absolute blast…pure comedy gold” – Edmonton Journal \nDespite their spotty track record\, the Cornley Drama Society has high hopes for their new play The Murder at Haversham Manor. Who doesn’t love a 1920s murder mystery set at a grand manor? \nBut if you believe this show will go off without a hitch\, you’d be dead wrong. Thwarted by missing props\, a malfunctioning set and dubious acting choices\, this ill-fated production unravels at an alarming rate. By the end of the play\, solving a murder is the least of everyone’s worries. The Play That Goes Wrong is the right choice if you’re looking for a hilarious night out!

SUMMARY:The Ghosts We Create\, Anja Studer
DESCRIPTION:This newest series of work titled “the ghosts we create” was born in the summer of 2023 at the Venezia Contemporanea Residencies Program in Venice\, Italy. The series features mixed media paintings and papercuts inspired by wildlife and the pressing environmental challenges they face\, causing their numbers to diminish until they vanish. \nThe mixed media paintings feature abstract watercolor washes that loosely evoke landscapes\, playing with the dynamic between nature and emotion. The color washes are enriched with details in ink\, acrylics\, 24k gold and graphite. Each artwork includes a wildlife illustration in graphite. Opting for graphite instead of her usual medium of black ink emphasizes the fragility of our ecosystem and underscores the threat of wildlife extinction due to habitat loss\, exploitation and pollution. The wildlife illustrations consist of simple line drawings and geometric patterns inspired by folk art from all over the world\, and in particular Swiss papercuts. \nFor the first time the Swiss artist is unveiling a limited edition of papercuts as a homage to this old Swiss tradition. The artist has had a love for traditional Swiss papercuts ever since her childhood and her illustrations have long been inspired by this artform and were translated to ink. A workshop in Switzerland in 2018 gave her the needed confidence to explore papercutting within her art practice. Anja’s delicate papercuts depict wildlife in her distinctive graphic style using patterns. The patterns unravel into lines of paper\, echoing the message of wildlife being in danger of becoming extinct and disappearing in front of our eyes. \nThe artist continues to use her work to raise awareness about climate change\, urging action to protect our wildlife before more and more species vanish\, becoming ghosts of the past. \nAnja will be donating 10% of sales from this exhibition to the Manitoba-based Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre. Wildlife Haven’s main goal is to treat injured and orphaned wildlife and to successfully release them back into their natural habitat.

SUMMARY:Brianna Wentz | Warpaint
DESCRIPTION:Brianna Wentz | Warpaint\nOctober 31 – December 14\, 2024\nVagina Witchcraft Performance: Thursday\, October 31st from 7:00-10:00pm\nOpening Reception: Friday\, November 1st from 5-9 pm\nArtist Talk and Livestream: Saturday\, November 2nd from 1-2 pm \nA symbol of sex\, controversy\, and rock n’ roll—excessive\, depraved\, and worshipped without restraint—the Demon embodies every freedom and whim denied to women and gender-diverse people. Warpaint releases the demon in the metalhead fangirl\, who is no longer a passive fan\, but a rockstar in their own right. Rather than being possessed by the music\, alluding to religious ecstasy and demonic possession\, the fan becomes the demon themselves\, challenging oppression and normativity in the scene.\nThis shift speaks to a deeper issue faced by Indigenous\, Black\, and other racialized people—the constant expectation to be strong and resilient. We are told we are resilient\, but why should we always have to be? Centuries of intergenerational trauma\, compounded by everyday racism and sexism\, demand a space where sorrow\, fear\, desire\, and rage can be unleashed. Enter metal\, punk\, and rock n’ roll.\nThese spaces provide an outlet for BIPOC and queer metalheads to build community and reclaim their identities. By honoring punk values\, kinship is cultivated\, because the mere presence of racialized and gender-diverse people in these scenes—and their very existence in a post-colonial society—is metal as fuck. Warpaint depicts these kin in all their unleashed deadliness.\nYet\, racialized women and non-binary people remain underrepresented in metal. Few figures exist in these scenes with whom they can identify. There continues to be undercurrents of white supremacy\, sexism\, and homophobia in factions of metal and punk. Black Metal\, known for its iconic corpse paint\, has been shaped by musicians who openly supported white supremacist ideologies and homophobic hate crimes. These works seek to confront and dismantle such ideologies by depicting the power of the bodies and spirits they seek to destroy.\nThrough this process\, the works in Warpaint empower them to ‘be their own heroes.’ As Leila Taylor writes in Darkly\, “the process of dehumanization is a process of monster-making. But monsters have power.” Being cast as the outsider has created a strength to confront\, reclaim\, and reshape metal by by embracing a raw\, deadly\, and unapologetically defiant spirit—showing that women\, non-binary\, and BIPOC voices lead the scene.

SUMMARY:Kakanacisitacahk: Drumming Our Houses Home
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit brings to light our ongoing efforts to create sustainable\, community-friendly housing that incorporates energy solutions such as solar and wind. It also amplifies awareness of the housing crisis and the disproportional impacts for youth\, 2-Spirit\, and queer individuals within First Nations communities while tracing the historical and ongoing impacts of colonial policies that continue to shape housing conditions today. This exhibit is an opportunity to teach\, learn and grow together as we examine critical issues related to sustainable\, community-driven housing solutions. \nMade possible through the collaboration of our partners: the University of Manitoba\, the University of Saskatchewan\, and Nutana Collegiate’s Industry and Career Education (N.I.C.E.) program\, alongside Making the Shift. Together\, we strive to foster a deeper understanding of housing solutions and promote sustainable\, community-friendly housing projects.
