HOME Residency
MEET THE ARTISTS: Thurs-Sat 11am-6pm
For newcomers, home can be a place left behind, a space in flux, or a future still being imagined. For Indigenous artists, home is rooted in ancestral land, community, and resilience, often in the face of historical and ongoing displacement. This residency creates a space for dialogue between these experiences, revealing shared struggles and points of connection while honoring the complexities of each perspective.
Home Residency brings together five Newcomer and Indigenous artists — Kseniia Koshmai, Yu Chen, Shea Iles, Jona Redwood, and Ezgi Türker — whose practices explore different understandings of home through miniature boxes, portraiture, beaded game cards, dreamcatchers and letters.
The residency creates space for dialogue between these perspectives, fostering connection while honouring the distinct histories, relationships, and experiences each artist carries. Over July and August, the artists will explore what home means to them individually, drawing from their own histories, cultures, memories, and lived experiences while also developing a collaborative artwork and offering public workshops.
