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 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).

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.

Learn about Simon’s approach to Indigenous material culture through her perspective as a Mi’kmaw e’pit [woman]\, and how traditional Mi’kmaw art forms relate to Indigenous and collective rights. \n\n\n\nThroughout the conversation\, Cheryl will be weaving a basket with techniques passed down to her by her uncle\, Elder Francis Jadis\, who has been making baskets for 60 years. As an artist with a deep connection to quillwork and basketry\, Simon sources and processes her own materials from start to finish\, exercising her Mi’kmaw rights of cultural material harvesting. \n\n\n\n\nGet Your Free Ticket\n\n\n\n\nLimited tickets available. \n\n\n\nAbout the Artist\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Cheryl Simon is a Mi’kmaq e’pit (woman) from Epekwitk (PEI)\, currently residing in Halifax\, who works with porcupine quills\, birchbark\, spruce root and sweetgrass. \nCheryl fell in love with Mi’kmaq quillwork as a little girl studying her mother’s collection of quill boxes. She started learning and studying the insertion technique and design upon moving back to Mi’kma’ki in 2007\, and launched her business\, Mi’kmaq Quill Art in 2011. Cheryl is committed to community education of the artform and has been teaching quillwork workshops for over ten years. She took on her first apprentice in 2015 and opened a short-term studio in Epekwitk in 2016 to begin a program of instruction for three more apprentices. \nWhile Cheryl focuses on traditional quillwork and construction\, she also developed a process for accurately depicting the petroglyphs (rock carvings) after visiting the petroglyph sites in Nova Scotia. Over the past two years\, she decided to incorporate both traditional designs and the petroglyph technique into the same quillwork pieces. This blending of styles lets her showcase the importance quill size can make in enhancing the detail of the design. \nCheryl was recently inspired by contemporary Mi’kmaq art to move beyond the quill box lids\, which influenced her early work to split the design into separate pieces\, adding a vibrancy to the designs. She has taught her children to harvest and quill and is excited to begin the process of teaching them the intricacies of designing in the traditional style. She feels that quillwork requires strong connections and is proud that the community of quillers is expanding to include the younger generations. \nImage and basket by Cheryl Simon.

With a versatile approach that shifts between sculpture\, photography\, documentary film\, and anthropological methods\, Farooq foregrounds community-based models of knowledge production and an array of contemplative practices in order to suggest new ways of narrating our cultural histories. The result is often a collaborative work which counterbalances how dominant institutions speak about our lives: a counter-archive\, new additions to a museum collection\, or a buried history made visible. Together with the public he works to redress the role of exhibition and collection-based practices by employing decolonial\, queer\, and critical race lenses. \nFarooq has held exhibitions at institutions around the world including the Venice Architecture Biennale (2023)\, Rijksmuseum van Oudheden\, Leiden (2023)\, Fonderie Darling\, Montréal (2022); Koffler Gallery\, Toronto (2021); Aga Khan Museum\, Toronto (2017); Institute of Islamic Culture\, Paris (2017); Contemporary Art Gallery\, Vancouver (2016); The British Library\, London (2015); Maquis Projects\, Izmir (2015); Artellewa\, Cairo (2014); and the Art Gallery of Ontario\, Toronto (2011). Reviews dedicated to his work have been published by Art Forum\, Canadian Art\, The Washington Post\, BBC Culture\, Hyperallergic\, Artnet\, The Huffington Post\, and C Magazine. Upcoming shows include the Toronto Biennial of Art (2024) and Jaou Tunis (2024).
