CPA Exhibit Opening: Your Wall Can(not) Divide Us

CPA Exhibit Opening: Your Wall Can(not) Divide Us Zoe Beilby Fri, 01/20/2023 - 13:01

This exhibition includes photos of street art pieces from a range of conflict-affected societies and an opportunity to leave your own ‘mark’ on the gallery walls as part of an interactive portion of the gallery. Come explore topics of resistance, political communication, commemoration, and identity expression.

Street art makes an important contribution to understanding local conflict-dynamics and visions of peace. Art created on public walls, signs and structures can reveal narratives about everyday concerns and opinions. It expresses multiple and often contradicting narratives by different artists and communities, which is especially valuable in situations of conflict and censorship.

This exhibit will be open until April 30, 2023.

Unmasking, Breathing, Moving Forward Timothy Saari Wed, 09/14/2022 - 15:12

Life during the pandemic has been challenging for everyone. During this period, the harsh realities of oppression and racism were cruelly unveiled in front of our eyes. The question of how we move forward is often asked, and difficult to answer.

View our newest Grebel gallery exhibit, Unmasking, Breathing, Moving Forward, from September 6 to December 16, 2022. This exhibit is comprised of 17 Black, Indigenous, and racialized artists responding to their experiences during COVID-19. Unmasking aims to offer insights into a way forward that is perceptive to marginalized voices.

Join us on September 21, 2022 @7pm EST for the launch of the Unmasking, Breathing, Moving Forward exhibit at the Grebel Gallery.
