This Week at Agnes

Public Roundtable

Unpacking Conversation: Intergenerational Archival Engagement

Friday 13 March, 11:30–2:30 pm

This public roundtable event with Arnait collective members presents an intergenerational conversation about the exhibition Inuuqatikka: My Dear Relations and the process of revisiting and remediating the Arnait video archives.

In March, Queen’s University welcomes members of the Inuit women’s video collective, Arnait, for a two-week media-art open archiving residency as part of an ongoing effort to ensure this media art history is preserved and made available according to culturally specific and ethically driven forms of access.

Art and Wellness

Art Hive @Agnes

Thursdays to 2 April, 4–6 pm

“Art Hive is a comforting space where you can come and unwind. I like it because it’s very inclusive, and all abilities are made to feel welcome.”
– Robbie, Art Hive participant

Young adults (18–24) are invited to drop-in for art and wellness. Relax, re-charge and expand your creative powers in the Studio. Art Hive is free; great materials are provided and no prior art experience is necessary. If you are looking for guidance, our art therapist/facilitator offers weekly projects and visits to our current exhibitions.

This program is made possible through the generous support of the Birks Family Foundation.
