Past Curated Programs:

Fogged!
Film is fogged when light impacts the negative in an unexpected way. Fogged! captures that effect, the tone and language of super 8 and 16mm experimental film to explore the idea of place through the lens of women. It explores how new condo developments affect this neighbourhood, transforming the environmental, social, and economic aspects of working class life. Read more about the program here
Curator: Sebnem Ozpeta
Artists: Lisa G Nielsen / Zoe Kirk-Gushowaty / Lindsay McIntyre / prOphecy sun / Amanda Thomson

The Illusion of Movement
There is an ongoing demand for the resources required to accommodate Mount Pleasant’s urban developments, which aim to increase densification of the neighbourhood. This contributes to an influx of inhabitants and traffic. The Illusion of Movement presents six works by contemporary experimental animators, aiming to generate a dialogue with the neighborhood by making visible the complications of urban development and gentrification that continuously alter the landscape and lives of the inhabitants. Read more about the program here.

Isolation Boy
Kevin House‘s project originates in his experience with isolation and self-reflection. Isolation Boy is composed of daily visual and text-based reflections, speaking to our present period of COVID-19 isolation. Selections from House’s ongoing project screened on the MPCAS throughout 2020.

open link in new tab
Room magazine and Indigenous Brilliance are proud to showcase the brilliant work of ten Indigenous women, Two Spirit, and Indigiqueer artists in open link in new tab. These artists weave together texts, video, and artwork to give us small glimpses of their thoughts and lives in this time of self isolation and physical distancing. Read more about the program here.
Curator: Jessica Johns
Artists: Helen Knott / Cassandra Blanchard / Molly Cross-Blanchard / Justin Ducharme / Francine Cunningham / Edzi’u / Jody Okabe / Karmella Cen Benedito De Barros / Jade Baxter / Jaz Whitford

Poetry is Bad For You
Stemming from the Poetry is Bad For You reading series chapbook, Justin Ducharme curated this collection of poems and digitized them to bring text-based works to the MPCAS and to recognize the work of local poets who contribute to these vital environments that harvest creativity and community with these spaces and initiatives that as we know are far and few between in this city’s ever changing landscape. Read more about the program here.
Curator: Justin Ducharme
Artists: Brandi Bird / Aja Moore / Adrienne Yeung / Myles Black / Samantha Nock / Jane Shi

proximities: contemporary musings on place relations
Since time immemorial, Indigenous people have practised careful and diligent methods to carve out relations between themselves and specific time and place. proximities: contemporary musings on place relations explores the ways in which indigenous video artists have related to space within their specific mediums and what questions arise from these almost new found forms of relationship building. Read more about the program here.
Curator: Justin Ducharme
Artists: Emma Joyce Frank / Russell Wallace / Terry Haines / Tyler Hagan / Shelley Niro / Joleen Milton

RAPTURE
As queer indigenous bodies existing in a society that doesn’t always feel necessarily for us, and finding ourselves creating work about those experiences in tandem – we forged this own second coming. One outside of the typical religious institution and one that celebrates a rapture and celebration of our two spirit kin to a place of utopia. Read more about the program here.
