Mi’kmaq By Design is a series of artist talks coinciding with the exhibition Souvenir. Invited Mi’kmaq artists will speak about their creative practice and discuss the extent to which L’nu visual culture and history informs and/or inspires their work.
Join Ryan Rice and Lisa Deanne Smith for an in-depth tour of Jordan Bennett x2: Souvenir and pi’tawita’iek: we go up river.
Led by Diane Borsato and Amish Morrell of Outdoor School, Brother Nature (Isaac Crosby), Ella LaForme, and Stefan Herda, this informal foray in the Highland Creek Valley will provide opportunity for participants to gather and study wild mushrooms and other local plants, learning more about their linguistic, historical, cultural, edible, ecological and medicinal properties, while enjoying and celebrating nature.
The fundamentals of quillwork are covered in this three-hour beginner’s course. Spaces are limited with priority given to Indigenous students at OCAD U. The workshop is a co-presentation and partnership with OCAD University’s Indigenous Visual Culture program and the Indigenous Student Centre.
The exhibition features several OCAD University community members who, in addition to being faculty, are artists and parents. The works in the exhibition reflect their experiences raising children, teaching and maintaining a studio practice amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Art Amy Swartz as well as Associate Professors in the Faculty of Art JJ Lee and Natalie Waldburger are featured in the show.
You’re invited to view this online exhibition of student artwork, select works that are the culmination of the six-week English for Art & Design pathway program, coordinated by the Writing & Learning Centre at OCAD U.

Navigating Belonging: Understanding Place and Positionality
Artists: Angie Ma, Vicky Talwar, Siheng Wang
Curator: Ella Taylor
Location: 113Research Project/Gallery, OCAD University, 113McCaul Street, 5th Floor Hallway.
Opens: May 11, 2-3.30 PM and runs until Sept 2022.
Drawing on shared experience, artists Angie Ma, Vicky Talwar, and Siheng Wang in Navigating Belonging explore the complexities of racialized cultural identity through self-reflective creative practices. The individual works present a narrative viewing of the artists’ past and present experiences relating to immigration, belonging, and identity. Viewed dialogically, these artworks offer a framework for engaging with the entangled layers of cultural identity and intercultural relations.
Also, as art educators, the artists consider how the application of creative storytelling in learning contexts can reveal and support the diverse experiences of students. Their uniquely critical and creative approaches can assist their students in acquiring deeper understandings of the complexities of their cultural identities.
Navigating Belonging then becomes a representation of artistic process and acts as a visual manifestation of how art educators can contend with these “troubling issues” in pedagogy.
The exhibition encourages viewers to consider how creative storytelling can facilitate a critical reflection of subject positions and how this reflection may inform or change how we think about identity.
Part of OCAD U's Academic Year Welcome, this keynote panel brings together three diverse Ontario-based teachers and language scholars, Shirley Williams (Trent University), Sheila Batacharya (University of Toronto Mississauga), and Shahriar Mirshahidi (OCAD University). They will share their lived experiences, explore strategies for incorporating linguistic justice into the process of decolonizing education and invite the university community to take these ideas up in their pedagogy for the new academic year.
Who or what defines on what is alive and what is intelligent? Can artificial forms of life be empathetic? What does the cooperation of human beings and artificial agents look like? What ethical questions arise? The exhibition »BioMedia« invites visitors to learn about and discuss possible forms of cohabitation between organic and artificial forms of life.
