📣 New Exhibitions Alert!

Post 2/2

Introducing, a new exhibition featuring printed works by senior students and recent graduates from
Calgary’s two post-secondary arts institutions: Alberta University of the Arts and the University of Calgary. 🎓

📆 Join us for the opening reception on Friday, May 8 from 7 - 9pm.

About the exhibition:

✨The Latest Edition 2026✨ showcases 9 emerging artists who use printmaking as a means of questioning
and discovery. For each artist, meaning emerges through process. Initial ideas, Images, and concepts
concerning nuanced themes of self, interconnection, and change have transformed slowly through the
materiality, repetition, and layering that is characteristic of printmedia–allowing depth of understanding to
surface.

From the University of Calgary: Gabrielle Arrizza, Aidan Dupuis, Joshua Seguin, and Míša Štorková.

From Alberta University of the Arts: Leafa Christieson, Dana Nell Doshewnek, Kat King, Naia Lisch, and
Dimitri Smith-Kac.

on paper, glued to be 3-dimensional, 3 x 3.5 x 3.5 in.

About the exhibition:

“…As I reflect on the 14 houses that I have moved in and out of over the last decade, I turn to drawing as both an archival and speculative practice. The works exhibited here trace both real memories and imagined scenarios of these homes and the 25 people I shared them with, manipulating the images through techniques of monotype, collagraph, and mokulito to reveal themes of comfort, deterioration, and repair. For myself and many of those closest to me, our paths through the smog of urban housing precarity have been lined with neglectful landlords, deteriorating architecture, personal conflicts, unpaid debts, and threatening property managers. By sinking its teeth into moments in these spaces and the relationships made and lost in them, Ashes! Ashes! wonders — with uncertainty, grief, and sometimes hope— what is left behind, what do we take with us, and where do we go from here?”

Margaret Joba-Woodruff is a visual artist whose practice employs an interdisciplinary approach to printmaking to consider the intersections of land, body, family, memory, and labour. After completing a BFA in Visual Art at the University of British Columbia in 2020, she became a worker-owner of the Vancouver Artist Labour Union Cooperative before relocating to St John’s, Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland) to spend a year in residence as the ‘22-’23 Don Wright Scholar at St Michael’s Printshop. Her work has been supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and Arts NL, and has been exhibited across Canada, in the UK, and Taiwan.
