Poster for An Evening

2013 · ★ 4.5 (2)

In the minutes that it takes for a day to lose itself to darkness, we see a house that has suddenly become empty. It is the home of Maria, who has recently passed, and who has left her mark in every corner of every room. A portrait of absence is also an attempt to resurrect the dead, perhaps even a moment of magical thinking. The winter outside is well settled, snow accompanies each thought. Based on a poem by Zofia Bohdanowiczowa.

Poster for Porosity Valley 2: Tricksters

2019 · ★ 0.0 (0)

A sequel to "Porosity Valley, Portable Holes" (2017), this piece expands upon the previous work through a fictionalized depiction of the migration of the migrant/mineral/data cluster known as Petra Genetrix. Juxtaposing refugee migration with digital migration, both of which characterize migration in the 21st century, the work creates a speculative space-time by interrogating the “ways of existence” and the “ways of representation” of the Yemeni refugees who recently arrived in South Korea. Reflected here is the state of affairs in which refugees are treated as a kind of malware or virus that threaten the immune system of the nation state.

Poster for Accueil du grand âge, la méthode Montessori

2026 · ★ 0.0 (0)

As Western populations grow older and cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease become increasingly prevalent, how can we rethink the way we care for and accommodate the elderly? More broadly, how should we approach our relationship with aging and old age? The Montessori method, originally developed and recognized for fostering children’s development in educational settings, has proven particularly well suited to older adults. More than simply a practical tool, it represents a genuine shift in perspective on aging, one that is also revolutionizing approaches to care.

Poster for Colonization Road

2016 · ★ 10.0 (1)

In towns throughout Ontario, there are startling reminders of the colonization of Indigenous territories and the displacement of First Nations people. Anishinaabe comedian and activist Ryan McMahon takes us to his hometown of Fort Frances and down its main drag, which is called Colonization Road. Similar streets have similar names in towns and cities across the province, direct reminders of the Public Lands Act of 1853 and its severe impact on First Nations, their treaties and their land in the name of “Canadian settlement.” On his journey through Ontario, McMahon explores the history of these roads, meets with settlers in solidarity and raises significant questions about “reconciliation” and what it means to “decolonize.”
