A year-long research project that explores the practices of established Canadian artists through three in-depth interviews, led by upper-year OCAD U students. The project creates a safe space for students, established artists, and cultural advocates to ask questions and share knowledge.

Join us for an open conversation with celebrated Canadian artist Evergon, whose visionary practice has helped shape the contemporary art landscape and queer representation in Canada. As both a pioneering artist and a dedicated educator, Evergon continues to challenge how we perceive ourselves and the world around us.
