buckskin hide tanning workshop
buckskin hide tanning workshop
Bear Spring Eco Retreat, Beasley BC
30 May - 2 June, 2025
This workshop invited hide tanners of all skill levels to learn the process of making smoke-tanned buckskin. Facilitated by tanner Mara Cur, this workshop was organized with support from the Sinixt / Arrow Lakes and Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. This workshop aimed to strengthen the local fibreshed, textile, and leather working community; to invite hide tanners to learn an organic, non-chemical method for making leather; to invite artists working with textiles to learn a new land-based craft; to invite hunters, butchers, skinners, and farmers to learn an artistic skill that utilises their animal waste products; and to foster cross-cultural exchange through craft.

Kitchener Waterloo Art Gallery
5 October 2024 - 26 January 2025
Borrowing the title from a somatic ritual written by poet CAConrad, This dream pays for its space in my heart frames the featured artist’s work through poetics.
Poetry exists in each repeated gesture throughout the exhibition; the marks, weavings, and chirps of the artists’ work encompass a poetic sensibility that undoes the logic and language of capital. Considering the fluid relationship between one’s body, the language it speaks, and how it navigates land and grief, the artists emphasize that these relationships are porous, and that sites of ancestral history hold memories and feelings. The exhibition features work by Derya Akay, sophia bartholomew, Darby Minott Bradford, and Eve Tagny.

public bathing forum
public bathing forum
Hearth, Toronto ON
3 December 2020
an online forum with contributions from Richard Fung, Jess Misak, and Fan Wu. This forum was offered as an opportunity to think collectively about pleasure and social intimacies through queer, architectural, somatic, and sexual frameworks of public bathing. How do bathhouses shape our relation to each other? Our relation to strangers? How do public bathing sites cultivate intimacy in the architectures of our city? How do the gestures of public bathing—cruising, washing, sleeping, meditating—translate into a mode of interaction, a way of moving together as a community?
