This workshop considers the tenuous relationship between destruction and construction in the creative act. Through varied processes we will abstract our Ektachrome film through building new images on bleached 16mm, 35mm, and imax stocks.

REGISTRATION REQUIRED

(we are currently sold out for this workshop and collecting names for our waitlist!)

In this 3-hour workshop, participants will learn how to draw their own floral beadwork patterns based on a pair of Métis hide gauntlets Claire rematriated from a private collection in London, England this past summer. Folks will then be guided to bead their floral pattern onto smoked moose hide utilizing the Métis two-needle style. 

All materials will be supplied by ROSEMARY Gallery and Claire Johnston.

This workshop considers acts of exhuming images with film. First, a short lecture will speak to ideas of archives and storytelling. A city walk will be the avenue from which we will create our own personal archives, photographing the experience with Ektachrome film stock.

About the Workshop Lead:

Rhayne Vermette was born in Notre Dame de Lourdes, Manitoba. Primarily self taught, her work emphasizes an interruption of image through collage, photography and analog filmmaking. Her works have exhibited internationally, highlighting presentations at The Toronto International Film Festival, The Walker Art Center, New York Film Festival,  Jeonju International Film Festival, Valdivia International Film Festival, Platform Center for Photographic and Digital Arts and Ociciwan Contemporary Art Collective. Her critically acclaimed first feature narrative, Ste. Anne (2021) was recognized through varied awards, most notably TIFF’s Amplify Voices Award for Best Canadian Feature Film. Rhayne is currently shortlisted for Canada's Sobey Art Award.

In addition to being important symbols of historic gathering and trade, the Red and Assiniboine Rivers in Winnipeg are sites of profound violence and environmental degradation. Performing under the moniker B.P., artist Bret Parenteau will present new sound work at the edge of the Assiniboine River near where it meets with the Red to reflect upon the histories and knowledge represented by this site.
