Géorgie Gagné, P’tite indienne.
Registration for this workshop will open at 10am on 14 of January, 2025.
Join artist Géorgie Gagné for a collage-based workshop and collective conversation reflecting on breakups, relationship hardships, and broader community tensions. Participants will explore ways of practicing harm reduction through communication and creative expression when they are directly or indirectly involved in a sticky interpersonal situation, and when intense waves of emotion might impact their abilities.
This workshop takes an Indigenized, intersectional, non-monogamous, queer and trans-affirming approach to navigating relationships of all kinds (sexual, platonic, romantic, friendship, etc.)
The Studio is a place to meet innovative practicing artists from Kingston and across Canada, hear about their work and artistic practice and explore a creative project together.
Géorgie Gagné is is a multi award-winning, mixed heritage Cree and franco-québécoise artist, educator, facilitator, and advocate, dedicated to infusing intersectional approaches, Indigenous ways of knowing, intentionality and care within communities around Turtle Island. Her art practice focuses on physical and digital collage, beadwork, photography, and graphic design. Géorgie’s art aims to create audacious conversations on topics of 2Spirit identities, transness, interconnectivity, dignity, ruptures, and resilient love. Recently, she has participated in Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre’s Coalesce Residency, their annual juried exhibition Playful Encounters, as well as Union Gallery’s group exhibition Gentle Disruptions and Kingston School of Arts’ group exhibition Close to Home.
