Achy Awfulness
Rylee Rumble, MFA Thesis Exhibition

September 8 – 28, 2023
Opening Reception: Friday, September 8 from 4-6PM
Achy Awfulness looks at how MFA Candidate, Rylee Rumble, uses colour in her painting practice to archive her raw and vulnerable experiences with depression, anxiety, and ADHD. Having colour be the signifier for memories, feelings, emotions, and objects that pertain to Rumble’s mental health while painting has allowed for her to project her experiences onto the canvas essentially creating a physical archive; one that allows for the artist to shed the weight she is carrying and working through.

Confluency is an interactive art exhibit linking Canada, South Africa, and broader Africa, while inviting visitors to respond and build on the works as co-creators of knowledge towards water justice. The exhibit showcases creative translations of key themes from the 2023 Confluency conference held in Cape Town, South Africa.
This fall the exhibit is coming to Riverfest 2023! Local community members can submit pieces that will supplement the Confluency Colloquium and speak to water justice. The goal of this collaborative exhibition is to raise awareness, spark discussion, and inspire positive change within London and the broader community.
