Channelling Currents
Curated by Jonathan Browns and Sarah Patterson, Channelling Currents featured printed matter and a selection of digital videos from the City of Ottawa Art Collection that use water as an allegory to explore themes such as geography, urbanism and mental illness.
I was invited to facilitate a workshop to screenprint designs by The Onaman Collective (artists Christi Belcourt and Isaac Murdoch). The designs were printed by participants in the Routhier Community Centre day camp program for adults with developmental disabilities. These prints were hung as part of the exhibition at Corridor 45|75 Gallery, Rideau O-Train Station, from October 16, 2020 to February 14, 2021.
If you are interested in printing these designs for water and land protection actions from a grassroots level, you can find the designs here.
