Irma Gutierrez - Embassy of Mexico

September 8 to October 21, 2021

Those hands that are whispering to you. Those hands that talk are driven by thoughts. Thoughts that have been swaying in constant dance on a paper, plate, or canvas for 24 years. This exhibition brings a selection of pieces (Printmaking, Encaustic, Drawing, Painting) that are fueled by constant questioning, redefinition, and reinvention.

No Borders Art Festival

September 18 to October 3, 2021

No Borders Art Festival acknowledges that the festival is on unceded, unsurrendered Anishinaabe-Aki territory. NBAF’s belief is that the process of decolonization and liberation of knowledge must be a collective action based on respect and solidarity. NBAF is calling on people from different disciplines, backgrounds, ages, sex/gender identities, ethnicities, abilities, incomes, nationhood, and nationalities to come together in celebration.
