Upcoming Community pArtners Gallery Exhibitions

These series of works are an excerpt from a previous exhibition 'TADHANA'. These works explore the views as newcomer’s common concept that "fate brought us here" and the most common Filipino outlook of "bahala na" / "come what may" attitude which is prevalent to anyone. However, this attitude is not only a visible trait for newcomer alone, but these are also actually a day-to-day outlook of everyone just varying on expression and terms. The exhibition aims to finds parallels within culture to create better understanding of each and everyone’s' disposition in life.

This community-driven exhibition brings together a curated collection of culturally significant fabrics contributed by members of the Yorkton community. Each piece carries with it a story—of heritage, migration, tradition, celebration, and identity.
From intricate patterns to vibrant colors and time-honoured textiles, the exhibition invites visitors to explore how fabric serves not only as material, but as memory. Through these woven expressions, the gallery becomes a space of connection—where diverse cultures are honoured, stories are shared, and a collective identity begins to take shape.

As part of this exhibition we will host a culture days event, Woven Stories: Fabrics of Our Community, where people can gather and share the importance of fabrics in their cultures that can inspire, educate and celebrate cultural heritage.

A Selection of Specimens is a solo exhibition be artist Kristin Teetaert. This exhibition features drawings, felt sculptures, and painted tiles. Kristin states: "The specimens came to life in 2012 in the form of a charcoal gestural sketch. The idea of sculpting them in wool followed. Wool allowed me to use bright colours and to create sculptures that were malleable. A tactile person, I wanted to play with my sculptures. This idea of being able to play with and manipulate the sculptures inspired the tiles; they are all able to interconnect with each other on all four sides. An important aspect of them was the ability to create different paths between the specimens by physically moving the tiles, or as a viewer, by following the shapes as they weave through the installation.

The Burden of Street brings together paintings that depict contradictory compositions to provide distinct visual experiences while exploring the complexities of our surrounding built environment. The element of the wall plays a significant role in this body of work as public sites for dwellers to engage with the political and social fabric of society. These paintings aim to explore the dichotomy of walls as both tools of control and platforms for resistance. They delve into how authorities use these walls to impose their ideologies and values upon the people, while also emphasizing the agency of dissidents who transform these spaces into channels of protest and expression.
