Opening this Thursday at the MAG: New Routes: threads across space and time.

Join Mitchell Art Gallery this Thursday, September 18 from 6-8 p.m. in the Allard Hall Main Atrium to celebrate.

New Routes: threads across space and time reflects Raneece Buddan, AJA Louden, Garfield Morgan and Elsa Robinson’s investigations of how their paths as diasporic people connect their distinct artistic practices.

The works featured in the exhibition share common threads and reflect the ideas they shared together over nine months of conversation: diaspora, Jamaican culture and African heritage, reclaiming power and history, and being cultural conduits between their ancestors and descendants. Highly engaged with material and craft practices, the artworks in this exhibition span painting, ceramics, sculpture, fibre and textiles, including an artwork collaboratively created as part of their ongoing conversations.

This event is free and open to all. The evening will kick off with opening remarks at 6:15 p.m., followed by a reception with refreshments and a cash bar. Three of the artists will be in attendance. Head to the MAG website for details.
