SUMMARY:Nocturne Artist Talk - Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Dawn Shepard\, Ryan Gray\, Lance Sampson(Aquakultre)\, Sonia Chow and Seamus Gallagher build worlds in their art and the communities around them. Curator Shuvanjan Karmaker brought them together as Nocturne 2024 Anchor Artists to create work that inspires us to build worlds of our own.  \n\n\n\nWe will be discussing the impact of matriarchs in African-Nova Scotian families\, the place of Circus in Atlantic Arts culture\, the concept of Crouching Tiger and\, the intersection of gender reveal and climate disasters. \n\n\n\n\nGet Your Free Ticket\n\n\n\n\nAquakultre: \n\n\n\nAquakultre is the artistic voice of Lance Sampson — an uncommonly versatile singer\, rapper\, composer and storyteller from Halifax\, Nova Scotia. He has released multiple singles\, eps\, collabs and two full albums\, 2020’s Legacy and 2022’s Don’t Trip\, both of which were long-listed for the Polaris Music Prize.Coming up in Uniacke Square\, Aquakultre traces his roots to Africville\, East Preston\, Weymouth Falls\, Liverpool & Delaps Cove; back two hundred years to the arrival of the Black Loyalists from the American colonies. Driven by his passion for history and culture\, Lance is currently developing a theatrical production in collaboration with the internationally acclaimed 2b Theatre Company. He recently delivered the first season of GeneratioNS: Black Memories\, a TV documentary series that he created\, directs\, and hosts (airing fall 2024). All the while\,he has been doing deep research and collecting oral histories from African Nova Scotian communities for his next record\, titled 1783 in homage to his Black Loyalist ancestry.Aquakultre’s installation for Nocturne is inspired by his deep love and respect for the elders\, their long memories and cherished stories of love\, loss\, hardship\, and triumph. Having grown up in a community that experienced so much loss of connection\, family lore\, and culture in the razing of Africville\, he is driven to make art that preserves and celebrates all that remains for the benefit of the next generations.Through all his works\, Aquakultre is on a mission to share his love for his unique and beautiful corner of the diaspora. Through his community work\, his recordings\, performances\, and collaborations\, Aquakultre delivers a poignant reflection of his personal evolution and his place in community as a Black Nova Scotian. \n\n\n\nBreaking Circus: \n\n\n\nBreaking Circus Collective (BCC) is a collection of contemporary circus artists working out of Kjipuktuk (Halifax\, NS). Breaking Circus sets and breaks their own rules in order to create\, explore and engage with the full spectrum of our human experience. The company reaches into the unknown and finds new ways to weave stories through cross-discipline experiments and integration of technology.The collective includes 3 core members plus a small roster of artists and new recruits/ interns. BCC is Black-led with at least half of its members being IBPOC-identified since its inception in 2016. The BCC is deeply committed to inclusion\, diversity\, equity and accessibility and was formed out of the desire to create a supportive ecosystem for IBPOC artists and artists from other underrepresented groups. \n\n\n\nDawn Shepherd (Co-Founder\, Breaking Circus): Dawn Shepherd is a multi-disciplinary aerialist and former elite trainer at the École nationale du cirque de Montréal. She is also a dancer\, rigger\, producer\, actor\, director\, and choreographer among other talents which are fully utilized at Breaking Circus.

Whether investigating materials\, processes\, function\, or form – I let the work inform me\, both as mentor and muse. I am happiest when working with my hands\, and enjoy the challenge of transforming what has been overlooked and coaxing meaning from the undervalued. I am always on the lookout for crouching tigers within the discarded. (In Chinese culture\, a “crouching tiger” is one who is underestimated and denied opportunities to reach their full potential.)”Sonia Chow is a designer\, artist and educator. She lived in Tokyo and Hong Kong from 2002 to 2018 before moving to Halifax\, and now is focused on making art from textiles\, wood\, words\, salvaged materials and found objects.

Sonia was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts for Graphic Design in 2011 for a body of work spanning branding and identity\, publication\, packaging and interior graphics.

Sonia created three art suites of snow and ice for Icehotel Sweden with her partner (2016\, 2018\, 2022); was artist-inresidence at Centre for Craft Nova Scotia’s wood studio (2022-23) and at the Textile Museum of Canada (2024).

SUMMARY:Creative Minds: Erasure Art Collective
DESCRIPTION:BLACKOUT is an interdisciplinary art project that recreates historical slave ads using ‘erasure’ or ‘blackout’—a form of poetry created by erasing words from an existing text to create a visual poem.  \n\n\n\nThe project uncovers messages in ads that appeared in local newspapers during slavery—a legal practice of buying and selling human beings that saw millions of Africans and people of African descent enslaved over hundreds of years. BLACKOUT reworks slaveholder’s texts to reveal new narratives honouring those who challenged one of history’s most inhumane systems\, and championing their bold acts of resistance.  \n\n\n\nPresenting the art of erasure poetry in non-traditional form\, this presentation of BLACKOUT combines poetry with visual art\, short film\, and live performance collaboration with African Nova Scotian musicians.  \n\n\n\nThis event is offered in recognition of African Heritage Month and is presented in partnership with Halifax Public Libraries.  \n\n\n\n\nGet Your Free Tickets\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nLocation: Paul O’Regan Hall\, Halifax Public Library\, 5440 Spring Garden RoadHosted by Portia Clark \n\n\n\nThis event is free to the public. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Erasure Art Collective:\n\n\n\nErasure Art Collective (EAC) is an interdisciplinary arts group committed to researching and reinterpreting archival texts using visual\, poetic\, and performative erasure. Co-founders Shauntay Grant and Tyshan Wright have been collaborating and exhibiting together since 2017 when they created the multimedia artwork ‘Abeng’ for Canada: Day 1\, a national group exhibition presented by the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21. EAC’s inaugural project\, called BLACKOUT\, has been presented at Nocturne (2022)\, Atlantic Arts Symposium (2022)\, the Canadian Association for Theatre Research Conference (2023)\, and Nocturne (2023). As artists with ancestral ties to the arrival of Black Loyalists\, Jamaican Maroons\, and Black Refugees to Nova Scotia in the late 1700s and early 1800s\, creating art that illuminates African Nova Scotian and African diasporic histories and experiences is a vital part of EAC’s research and creative work. The collective’s work is multilayered and highlights a research-creation approach to interpreting archival texts\, with BLACKOUT championing a multidisciplinary creative approach to the study and presentation of slavery in Atlantic Canada and beyond.   erasureart.com \n\n\n\nAbout Creative Minds:\n\n\n\nThe Creative Minds series hosts community leaders and creatives to respond to current events\, exhibitions on view\, or artworks in the Gallery. Through conversation\, music\, poetry\, or movement\, these events aim to provoke new ideas\, explore the unexpected and create more understanding for everyone involved. \n\n\n\nIn partnership with
