In conjunction with the Vancouver Art Gallery’s exhibition, NEXT: Provisional Structures | Carmen Papalia with Co-Conspirators, Rebel Fayola Rose (he/him) will host and facilitate five public Disability Justice Dreaming Sessions (DJ Dreaming Sessions). DJ Dreaming sessions provide participants with an opportunity to imagine an optimistic and visionary world while questioning narrow definitions for those who may experience ableism.

Exhibiting artists Aileen Bahmanipour and Geneviève Marois-Lefebvre explore the nuances of image construction and critically address themes of feminism, diasporic identities, the surveillance society, and the politics of location and identity. Bahmanipour and Marois-Lefebvre explore the multifaceted and intangible nature of our shared reality rooted in individual perspectives by questioning the role of representational images that act as symbols of a dictated reality.

Running October 22, 2022 to November 25, 2023.

Translated from Cree as the act of being contemptible, Aiyana Joe Wood’s multidisciplinary exhibition visualizes the nuances of her identity as an Indigenous trans femme woman and sheds light on her childhood spent in institutions that were established to subvert her autonomy and humanity.

Running September 3, 2022 to October 7, 2022.

A community partnership between Oppenheimer Park/Carnegie Community Centre Association and Gallery Gachet, this annual show began in 2008 in anticipation of changes, challenges, and losses in a pre-Olympic city. Although the world looks very different in 2022, we are proud to carry on the tradition of the Oppenheimer Show for its 15th consecutive year. For some artists, participating in the show is an annual tradition, while others are contributing for the first time. This year's iteration of the Oppenheimer exhibition revolves around futurity and questioning what ‘opening up’ means.
