Playlist
Get pumped for the Demo-lution Party on 17 August, 2-4pm
 Only a few more days until Agnes blows the roof off (not literally) Queen’s campus with our Demo-lution Party! To get you pumped up, team Agnes has put together a themed playlist all about breaking down walls, knocking things over and shaking things up!
Demo-lution Party celebrates the artwork Transformations and its creators, Oriah Scott, EronOne, HONE, HUNGR, AJ Little and Emily May Rose (+ invited guests). With beats by DJ Kid Koncussion, artmaking with Alejandro Arauz and Eronone, and food by Jerkbago, this FREE all-ages party will be one for the books.
Unfortunately food tickets have all been given away, but come out for the music and free artmaking and bring a picnic! Register today!

Exhibition
Toronto Biennial of Art 21 Sept - 1 Dec 2024
Toronto artist Sameer Farooq is Agnes’s Stonecroft Artist-in-Residence for 2024. This past summer, Sameer has been busy in his Kingston studio, shellacking flatbreads and constructing the sculptural armatures for his work Flatbread Libary, which will be on display next month at the Toronto Biennial of Art.
As part of the residency, Queen’s students Kelby Paquette Anderson and Isabella Machado Altoé had the opportunity to assist Sameer during his production weeks in Kingston. Additional technical assistance provided by Ryan Laidman.
The Toronto Biennial of Art opens 21 September and runs until 1 December 2024. This co-commissioned artwork will be located at one of the Biennial sites, The Auto Building at 158 Stirling Road.

Off-site
East wall of Macintosh-Corry Hall, behind Richardson Hall
If you’ve strolled down University Avenue in the last few weeks, you’ve likely seen the gorgeous golden image, overlooking Queen’s campus from Macintosh-Corry Hall.
This is Echoes of Devotion, a large-scale mural by Scarborough artist Anthony Gebrehiwot, incorporating pieces from Agnes’s Justin and Elisabeth Lang Collection of African Art and in collaboration with artist Winsom Winsom, who is featured in the work.
