๐˜“๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ opens at The Gallery at Evergreen Arts from June 6, featuring artworks from Jordan Bennett, Eric Allan Cameron, Eugene Isaac, Cindy Mochizuki, Carley Mullally, and Couzyn van Heuvelen.

Featured in this exhibition is Jordan Bennettโ€™s installation ๐˜๐˜ค๐˜ฆ ๐˜๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ (2014) in which the artist recreates the experience of fishing for an urban audience. Through the work, Bennett showcases the vitality of culture, family, storytelling, and the water beneath our feet.

Lure is generously supported by the Deux Mille Foundation.

In the middle is a faux snow pile on wooden flooring, with faux ice shavings and woodchips surrounding the perimeter. In the middle of the snow pile is a black circle screen with an image of light blue ice around the perimeter. To the left is a small fishing rod sticking out of a smaller faux snow pile. The fishing line from the fishing rod appears to go into the black circle screen.

Weโ€™re closed for installation of our next exhibition ๐˜“๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ, featuring the work of Jordan Bennett, Eric Allan Cameron, Eugene Isaac, Cindy Mochizuki, Carley Mullally and Couzyn van Heuvelen.

From subsistence to livelihood, from sport to ritual, fishing links people from coast to coast to coast. This thematic group exhibition includes work by Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists across Canada with ties to the Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, and the freshwater bodies that flow between. Together the artists explore the complex social and cultural significance of the ancient yet everyday activity of fishing.

๐˜“๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ will be on view at The Gallery at Evergreen Arts from June 6 to August 23, 2026.

The gallery will re-open on Saturday, June 6, at 12:00 p.m. Bring a friend, spend time with the work, and let yourself be drawn in.

The photograph was originally printed on canvas, then distressed by the artist with rubbing alcohol to represent the blurring, or loss, of memory. For this exhibition, the artist re-photographed and enlarged her artwork to encompass the viewer in a scene of memory and ambiguity.

This is the final weekend to view Zalamea's exhibition.

This exhibition is part of the 2026 Capture Photography Festival Selected Exhibition Program.

"I really think about photography as a mode of encounter. For me, this project, especially is about returning to my parents homeland, to [my] heritage, and to the Philippines. And I didn't quite know how to approach that, as a Canadian born Filipino. It was this idea of returnโ€”but what am I returning to, exactly? And so for me, as an artist, it makes sense for me to do that through the medium of photography." โ€”Karen Zalamea

To Karen Zalamea, her family's ancestral home also acts as a intergenerational archive. In ๐˜š๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜Ž๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ (๐˜š๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ฆ), Zalamea merges together photographs of the marble steps from the home where her mother grew up in the Philippines to create a giant amalgamated marble stone, printed on banner. These marble steps represent an archive of how members of Zalamea's family interacted with their immediate surroundings, showcasing how the family home, and by extension, any surface, can act as a archive of memory and identity.

This exhibition is part of the 2026 Capture Photography Festival Selected Exhibition Program.

ID: A photograph of the Art Gallery at Evergreen. The photograph showcases the inside of the gallery, the grey ground, and the ceiling with exposed piping. The left wall partially shows a monochromatic image of trees on vinyl, and a small rectangular photograph mounted on dibond, depicting a quarry.

The ropes hang from ceiling piping as well as over the temporary wall. The ropes descend to a short and wide white plinth on the ground. The right wall partially showcases a grey paper didactic with text and four framed cyanotypes of various plants and flora, hung in a horizontal line. In the middle of the gallery space on the ground is a large banner depicting marble stone resting on multiple cinderblocks.

mumbling
the language of ancestors"

This past weekend we celebrated the mothers in our lives. Their love connects across time, distance and generations.
