Balayez pour voir le texte en français

Join us Thursday, October 15 at 1pm for a curatorial tour of one of our current exhibitions, The Earth We Carry. Throughout the guided tour, the curator, Hanss Lujan Torres will introduce the key themes, the works on view, and the ideas that bring the exhibition together, followed by a Q&A. This exhibition brings together six Indigenous artists whose practices move across land, body, and technology, treating these not as separate spheres but as interconnected domains. The exhibition is up until November 20, 2026.

The curatorial tour will be presented in English and is open to the public.

For those attending the University Art Association of Canada (UAAC/AAUC) conference, we’re pleased to share that Hanss will be chairing the panel “The Earth We Carry: Indigenous Technics Across Land, Body, and Digital Space” at Concordia University on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, from 3:30–5:00 PM.

The panel will feature artist Amanda Lickers, whose work is included in this exhibition, alongside Stacey Koosel and Laura Grier.

For more information about the conference and panel, visit the UAAC website via the link in our bio.

Hanss Lujan Torres is a writer, curator, and researcher of Quechua and Spanish descent (Mestizo) from Cusco, Peru, currently based in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal). His work engages with object relationalities, alternative temporalities, and future imaginaries.

Join us on Tuesday, September 29 for a hands-on dyeing workshop as we prepare for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Led by artist Abby Maxwell, this workshop will introduce participants to the process of natural fabric dyeing using cosmos plants. Participants will also engage in a discussion about the history and significance of Orange Shirt Day and the Day for Truth and Reconciliation

This event is by donation and open to the Concordia community. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

York Vitrines and Courtyard from September 8 – November 20, 2026.

Where you have not first of all to uproot a whole forest

Kandis Friesen

Vernissage / La Rentrée : September 10 4:30pm – 7pm.

This exhibition brings together Friesen’s recent works in video, photography, and wood carving. The exhibition works through a series of graftings that amplify displaced artistic, architectural, and political histories of Soviet Kazakhstan. Grounded in a developing notion of the dispersed monumental, the works trace forms of dislocated historical memory through unofficial archives, land, architecture, and sound. From Stalin-era repressions to post-war Soviet modernism, Friesen approaches histories of exile, incarceration, and dislocation in the former Karlag gulag region of Karaganda, and in Almaty, Kazakhstan’s former capital.

-

Vernissage / La Rentrée : 10 septembre de 16 h 30 à 19 h.

Dans les Vitrines du corridor York et la Cour extérieure du 8 septembre au 20 novembre, 2026.

Cette exposition rassemble les œuvres récentes de Friesen en vidéo, en photographie et en sculpture sur bois. L’exposition se déploie à travers une série de greffes qui amplifient des histoires déplacées, qu’elles soient artistiques, architecturales ou politiques, dans le Kazakhstan soviétique. Ancrées dans une conception émergente du monumental dispersé, les œuvres retracent des formes de mémoire historique délocalisée à travers des archives non officielles, le territoire, l’architecture et le son. Allant des répressions de l’époque stalinienne au modernisme soviétique d’après-guerre, Friesen aborde les histoires d’exil, d’incarcération et de déplacement dans l’ancienne région du goulag du Karlag, à Karaganda, ainsi qu’à Almaty, l’ancienne capitale du Kazakhstan.

The Earth We Carry

Vernissage / La Rentrée : September 10 4:30pm – 7pm, with performance by Moe Clark at 5:30 pm.

Curated by Hanss Lujan Torres, this exhibition brings together six Indigenous artists whose practices move across land, body, and technology, treating these not as separate spheres but as interconnected domains. This gathering unsettles the false division between nature and machine, asserting that humans are constituted through both. We are made of earth, and we are makers of technology. We carry the earth within us and bear responsibility for the technologies produced from its resources.

With artists: Destiny Chescappio, Moe Clark, Kite, Amanda Lickers, Taylor McArthur, Skawennati.

Vernissage / La Rentrée : 10 septembre de 16 h 30 à 19 h, avec performance par Moe Clark à 17h30.

Dans l’Espace principale du 8 septembre au 20 novembre, 2026.

Commissariée par Hanss Lujan Torres, cette exposition réunit six artistes autochtones dont les pratiques explorent les relations entre la terre, le corps et la technologie, non pas comme des sphères distinctes, mais comme des domaines interdépendants. Leur mise en dialogue remet en question la fausse opposition entre nature et machine, et affirme que les êtres humains se construisent à travers ces deux dimensions. Nous sommes faits de terre, et nous sommes les créateur·trices de la technologie. Nous portons la terre en nous et avons la responsabilité des technologies que nous développons à partir de ses ressources.

Today, we are looking back on Kaude Nalebuff’s performance, The Cycles, from July 23, 2026. For this iteration of the performance, the artist was joined by Luiza Dale, Hope Kronman, and Emma Zakes Green. The working script is avaialable for consultation in the gallery.

Thank you to all of those who participated and attended!

Rachel Kauder Nalebuff’s performances—often about love, the body, and solidarity—have been staged at REDCAT, The Skirball Center, The Public Theater, and La Ferme du Buisson (in collaboration with artist Emily Mast). Rachel created Our Red Book, named a best book of the year by the San Francisco Chronicle, and the New York Times best-selling My Little Red Book, two anthologies that bring together voices from around the world to reflect on transformative journeys surrounding menstruation. Most recently, Rachel is the author of Stages: On dying, working, and feeling, a hybrid collection of writing and interviews with end-of-life care workers that “feels truly revolutionary, in both form and in content” (Elif Batuman). Together, with director Caitlin Ryan O’Connell, she approaches theater-making as a way to enact a small-scale version of the world we wish to live in. She currently directs 3 Hole Press, a small press for experimental drama, and teaches creative writing at Yale University. Last but not least, she is the mother of a wild animal/toddler.
