SUMMARY:Nature as Communities
DESCRIPTION:Diyan Achjadi\, PA System & Embassy of Imagination (Alexa Hatanaka and Patrick Thompson\, and youth collaborators: David Pudlat\, Moe Kelly\, Christine Adamie\, Nathan Adla\, Lachaolasie Akesuk)\, Ayoka Junaid\, Becoming Sensor (Ayelen Liberona and Natasha Myers\, with sound composer Allison Cameron)\, Sandra Semchuk\, Jay White and Jennifer Schine. \nFrom speculative fictions to art as storytelling; from indigenous-settler relationships to the “wider-than-human”; from land-based practices to the “Planthropocene”\, Nature as Communities considers how artists across Canada are reimagining our understanding of environment by listening and attending to place. Through situated knowledges and explorations of ancestry\, memory\, history\, and mythology\, these artists suggest how place-responsive works can encourage a re-thinking\, re-imaging\, and re-sounding of more sustainable and livable futures. \nDrawing from environmental justice theorist Giovanna di Chiro’s idea of nature as community\, the exhibition points to artistic investigations into notions of nature\, culture\, and place from within Canada’s multiple geographies. In these works\, Environment becomes environments: multiple and varied\, and culturally\, biotically\, geographically\, and epistemically situated. Knit together by the threads of a consciousness that recognizes the confluence of environment\, sustainability\, and social justice\, Nature as Communities helps us to see the connections between climate and cultural change. Incorporating sound\, video projections\, and other means to re-populate emptied landscapes while exploring political ecologies of place\, power\, and responsibility\, these works are an invitation to reflect on questions of accountability to both human and non-human generations of the future–as well as to those of the past and present. \nNature as Communities is curated by Jennifer Yakamovich\, Master of Environmental Studies candidate in the School for Resource and Environmental Studies at Dalhousie University\, in collaboration with Dalhousie Art Gallery staff. \n

SUMMARY:First You Dream: Celebrating 75 Years of the Nova Scotia Talent Trust
DESCRIPTION:Organized by MSVU Art Gallery in partnership with Cape Breton University Art Gallery and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. \nThe Nova Scotia Talent Trust was founded in 1944 and has been awarding scholarships to visual artists since 1949.

The generational mix of the artists (indicated by the dates of their Talent Trust scholarships) ranges from 1979 to 2016—a span of 37 years. The exhibition includes work by Jordan Broadworth\, Sandra Brownlee\, Lux Habrich\, Sara Hartland-Rowe\, Dan O’Neill\, Lucy Pullen\, Pamela Ritchie\, Despo Sophocleous\, Emily Vey Duke\, and Charley Young. \nThe Nova Scotia Talent Trust and partner galleries recognize the support of the Province of Nova Scotia through the Department of Communities\, Culture and Heritage. \n
