Art Thrive: Fire | Futures

Join us at this free drop-in event, taking place at the Western Student Recreation Centre on December 4, from 1-4 pm.  

Moving Images: Engaging with fire as a metaphor for transformation, hope, and the illuminating glow of imagining futures, this video art program features films that draw from science fiction and fantasy, Afrofuturism and Indigenous Futurism to dream new worlds of survivance and transformation in the face of environmental devastation.

Featured Artists: Adebukola Bodunrin and Ezra Claytan Daniels, The Golden Chain (2016); Skawennati, The Peacemaker Returns (2018); Rah Eleh, SuperNova (2019); Hiba Ali, A Proposal for Anti-Drone Architecture: Shura City (2013) 

Artmaking Activity: Paint your own ‘stained glass’ tealight holder, in this twist on the classic tealight jar. The first 100 guests will also receive a beeswax tealight to take home.
