SUMMARY:OUR PAINTED HOUSE
DESCRIPTION:Check out Our Painted House at the Gallery! \n\n\n\nThis drop-in activity is inspired by Maud Lewis’ iconic Painted House. Using a variety of materials\, you are invited to create your own artwork shingle to add to the painted house\, an almost-to-scale image of Maud’s home. Inspired by Maud’s keen observation of the world around her\, create something that reflects on these ideas: \n\n\n\n\nWhat do you notice outside your window\, at home\, or in your community?\n\n\n\nWhat are the things that are important to you?\n\n\n\nWhat patterns\, designs\, or images tell a story about your interests?\n\n\n\n\nThis project will run from November 2022 until May 2023 and will bring together hundreds of individual adorned shingles by visitors to the Gallery\, creating a large\, colourful installation-a reimagining of Maud Lewis’ Painted House and our collective communities.

SUMMARY:KEY FRAMES: TYRANNY
DESCRIPTION:Photo credit: Norman McLaren\, Neighbours\, 1952. Live action film\, 8:08 minutes. Courtesy of NFB. \n\n\n\nKey Frames presents contemporary film pieces selected in response to works on view at the Gallery. Exploring parallel themes\, subjects\, and contexts\, these screenings invite audiences to see the meaningful dialogues taking place between Canadian artists and filmmakers today. \n\n\n\nIn its first iteration\, this four-part film series draws on both animated and live-action shorts from the National Film Board collection to expand upon themes presented in the ongoing exhibition\, TYRANNY. \n\n\n\nIn examining issues and concerns that are intertwined with the systems of influence\, authority\, and control\, this permanent collection exhibition brings a fresh outlook on today’s society and political landscape to the forefront. Through the critical frame of their work\, the artists in TYRANNY highlight art’s ability to give voice\, raise awareness\, and challenge the status quo. \n\n\n\nKey Frames presents a response to the practices of four artists currently on view in TYRANNY reflecting their timely and universal themes and connecting them with the wider cultural discourses being held by talented filmmakers across Canada. \n\n\n\n\nPurchase Admission\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, February 2nd – Key artist: Lucie ChanIn her multi-layered\, multi-dimensional practice\, Lucie Chan makes heard the unspoken connections that bind us together. Moving\, inspirational works from Canadian animators speak to themes of love\, spontaneity\, and family. \n\n\n\nThursday\, February 9th –  Key artist: John ScottThrough his striking work\, John Scott illuminated a dark world where chaos and control blend in unexpected ways. Incisive\, insightful works from Canadian filmmakers explore notions of survival\, civilization\, and transformation. \n\n\n\nThursday\, February 16th –  Key artist: Garry Neill KennedyIn his trailblazing career\, Garry Neill Kennedy shaped conceptual art in Canada with his keen gaze into the systems of authority that surround us. Canadian filmmakers tell intuitive stories about warfare\, isolation\, and resilience. \n\n\n\nThursday\, February 23rd – Key artist: Camille TurnerThrough heroic performance works\, Camille Turner tells stories from our ignoble history to shed light on truths that resonate in the present. Imaginative Canadian filmmakers explore ideas surrounding accountability\, progress\, and the importance of perspective. \n\n\n\nThis film series is presented in partnership with

SUMMARY:Heritage Day: Rita Joe
DESCRIPTION:This Heritage Day honours the legacy of Elder Rita (Bernard) Joe\, a member of the We’koqma’q Mi’kmaq Community and published author. Rita Joe was instrumental in paving the way for other Mi’kmaq authors. \n\n\n\nJoin us on the AGNS YouTube Channel on February 10th to listen to performances inspired by Elder Rita Joe by four Mi’kmaw poets (Tiffany Morris\, Danica Roache\, Raymond Sewell\, Rebecca Thomas). Indigenous students from schools in Kjipuktuk (Halifax\, NS) came to celebrate with the poets at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia and we’re excited to share this experience with you all virtually! \n\n\n\nSwing by the AGNS on February 20th to watch it in our Windsor Foundation Lecture Theatre from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm with free admission! \n\n\n\nThis event is a collaboration with The Writer’s Federation and the Province of Nova Scotia. \n\n\n\n\nPurchase Admission\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Artists\n\n\n\nTiffany Morris is a Mi’kmaw/settler writer of speculative fiction and poetry from Kjipuktuk (Halifax)\, Nova Scotia. She is the author of the horror poetry collection Elegies of Rotting Stars (Nictitating Books\, 2022). Her work has appeared in Uncanny Magazine\, Nightmare Magazine\, and Apex Magazine\, among others. She has an MA in English with a focus on Indigenous Futurisms. She is a member of the Speculative Fiction Poetry Association and the Horror Writers Association\, and her work has been nominated for Elgin\, Rhysling\, and Aurora Awards. \n\n\n\nDanica Francis Roache is a mixed-ancestry mother of four\, born and raised in Kjipuktuk. The daughter of Mi’kmaw journalist and educator\, Trina Roache\, Danica’s Mi’kmaw family is spread out across Kjipuktuk\, Glooscap and other communities in what we now call Nova Scotia. A past participant of the Alistair Macleod Mentorship Program\, Danica is working on her first novel\, The First Five Years. \n\n\n\nRaymond Sewell is an l’nu poet\, singer-songwriter\, and English professor from Pabineau\, First Nation\, New-Brunswick. Since a young age Raymond has been writing and producing creative works. Raymond currently lives in Bedford\, Nova Scotia and is inspired by the ocean. \n\n\n\nRebecca Thomas is an award winning Mi’kmaw poet and activist who does not want to be a poet or activist. She just happens to be good enough at poetry and persuasion to get people to listen but her ultimate goal is to make Canada a better place for her Indigenous community because so many people tend to forget they were here first. She has accidentally found herself as the former Poet Laureate of Halifax. She has performed with the Halluci Nation and has spoken and lectured at conferences and coffee houses from coast to coast. She writes kids books about growing up the child of a residential school survivor. Her first book I’m Finding My Talk has been shortlisted for the First Nations Community Reads Award. Her most recent collection of poetry called “I place you into the fire” was listed as one of CBC’s top 20 books of 2020. Her book “Swift Fox All Along” was a finalist for the 2020 Governor General’s Award for children’s literature. She has an upcoming children’s book called “The Chair” set for a 2024 publishing date. She pays her bills by helping students who are overwhelmed with life and studies as a Student Services Advisor at the Nova Scotia Community College.
