**Graduate Gallery** - ***telling and retelling: acts of iteration***
The idea of iteration is indicative of process becoming practice. It is documenting, collecting, compiling. Watching the seed root and grow. Doing the thing, again, doing it differently, learning from it and yourself. Iteration is confrontation, contemplation, and embodiment. This exhibition encourages slow, playful, and deep looking within and outside of the grid to see the patterns of iteration, and the methods employed by each artist towards visual synergy.

**Onsite Gallery -** ***Up Front: Tarralik Duffy***
In partnership with the Inuit Art Foundation (IAF), Onsite Gallery presents *Up Front*, a new series of commissioned digital murals by Inuit artists. *Fresh Pop* is part of Tarralik Duffy’s ongoing examination, which finds her spotlighting the prominence of everyday objects that have become customary to contemporary Inuit culture and iconic in the North.

**Onsite Gallery** - ***On Americanity and Other Experiences of Belonging***
Centered around the notion of “Americanity'' and what it stands for today. This concept has been historically and generally used to name a shared cultural belonging to the American continent. Yet, does Americanity imply the same whether a person lives in Bacatá (Bogotá), Tiohtiá:ke/Mooniyang (Montréal), or Tsi Tkarón:to (Toronto), and whether they were born in Abya-Yala (America) or on another continent?
