Inspired by Mary Anne Barkhouse’s exhibition Ndishnikaaz | Nugwa’am | My name is , this hands-on activity invites you to create a cozy toad house using clay and natural materials. Reflecting Barkhouse’s deep connection to land, animals, and Indigenous knowledge, this project encourages care for the creatures we share our environments with.
“Hell is Empty; All the Devils Are Here” is a new 30-minute performance that navigates the disorienting landscapes of late capitalism, identity collapse and personal transformation. Through a series of fragmented, rapidly shifting scenes, it explores the somewhat demonic collision of self-optimization, consumerism and digital media saturation. Is it still possible to become something else?
Women make up half the population but only 30% of elected officials. People of colour represent 24% of the population but only 18% of elected officials. Unsurprisingly elected women of colour are few and far between and non-existent in Windsor-Essex.
Conversation organized by Jessica Sartori and Melinda Munro of WOW Politics.
The gap between two persons, two points, two ideas and two cultures are captured in Distance. Featuring works by Franco-Ontarian artists, this presentation highlights the duality present in their practices and post-pandemic lives. This artist and curator talk will be presented in French.

Soheila Esfahani is an Iranian-Canadian artist whose work explores themes of cultural translation, displacement, and hybridity. By recontextualizing ornamentation and souvenir objects, she examines how culture travels and transforms across borders. Her practice draws on Homi Bhabha’s concept of the “third space” to challenge fixed ideas of cultural identity and create new, hybrid narratives.
