JOIN THE CONVERSATION: What Everyone Gets Q&A Thursday, November 4, 5-630 PM ET with artists in attendance where the prompt is death and all the grief that comes with less life; moderated by Lee Henderson a Toronto-based artist and educator who’s practice investigates association networks of human intellectual-emotional investment, more commonly known as “meaning.”

Moving Homeward explores the use of the personal and familial archive as a tool for auto-ethnographic investigation and speculative reconstruction of home, family, and affections. In the context of migration, displacement, and loss, how can artists research, deconstruct, reconstruct and expand archives to work through grief, uprootedness, assimilation, and intergenerational trauma?

Pleasure Dome’s Ecologies of Industry exists halfway between nature and industry, presenting experimental works that exist within this dichotomy. Industry has begun to replace nature by mimicking its aesthetics, creating a simulacrum of humanity’s image.

Curated by Shahbaz Khayambashi (PD Co-Chair)
