SUMMARY:Artist Talk and Reception with Darian Golden Stahl
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Opening Reception to celebrate Lodestone by Dr. Darian Golden Stahl.  \nThe Artist Talk will begin shortly after 7pm\, followed by the reception until 9pm. \nLight refreshments provided. \nThis event is FREE and ALL ARE WELCOME \nAbout the Exhibition:\nLodestone exhibits our complex encounters with medicine in way that is inviting\, wonderous\, and enchanting. Lodestones are naturally occurring magnets\, a near-magical phenomenon that was eventually harnessed within biomedical imaging technologies like MRI machines \nLodestone does not necessarily depict a happy ending\, but a constant state of journeying and becoming. It is vital to introduce more complex and unsatisfying narratives of illness into our\nsociety. Neither triumphant nor tragic\, illness and disability are typical and valid ways of moving through the world. Presented as colorful and surreal prints with a hint of lore\, I aim for this\nexhibition to take up the visual and material culture of medicine and re-present them with affirming sensibilities that centre the patient perspective. Although this work represents the experiences of a single woman\, opening the imagery through translations of printmaking makes space for anyone to relate to the tales within. \nDr. Darian Goldin Stahl is interdisciplinary printmaker working between topics of medicine\, disability\, and well-being. Her work is based on the lived experiences of her collaborating partner and sister\, Devan Stahl\, as well as her own recent experiences navigating healthcare systems while pursuing parenthood. Darian is a printmaking instructor at the University of British Columbia Okanagan in Kelowna\, where she lives and works on the unceded traditional lands of the Syilx peoples. She is also a Research Associate at the National Collaborating Centre for Indigenous Health. This unconventional mix of employment demonstrates her commitment to championing those who have been marginalized and othered in Western medical systems through advocacy\, research\, and art. \nAfter attaining a BFA in Printmaking from Indiana University Bloomington and an MFA in Printmaking from the University of Alberta  that both engaged healthcare topics\, she then went on to achieve a research-creation PhD in Humanities from Concordia University in 2021 that investigated how artists’ books become multi-sensory archives of illness and disability. This work awarded Darian a Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship at the UNBC Northern Medical Program and Health Arts Research Centre\, where she works with patient groups to create artists’ books about their lived experiences within healthcare systems. Darian has exhibited her work all around the world\, but her most notable achievement was the acquirement of her entire suite of artist’s books by the acclaimed medical art institution\, the Wellcome Collection in London\, where her books continue to evoke health discourses with public audiences.

SUMMARY:Printmaking: An Expansive Residency Showcase
DESCRIPTION:From October 2023 – March 2024\, Mountain Standard Time Performative Art (M:ST) and Alberta Printmakers (A/P) have had the pleasure of working with residents Jules de Guzman and Kamika Bianca Guerra-Walker. \nThis exhibition showcases the fruits of their labour and learning during their time participating with: Printmaking and Interdisciplinary Creation: an Expansive Residency\, coordinated in partnership by both organizations. \nJules de Guzman\nArtist Statement:\nHaving begun their membership at Alberta Printmakers (A/P) with Cyanotype Magic with Gloria Gelo\, Jules took Silkscreen in Colour with Morgan Melenka and fell in love with the process and outcomes of printmaking. Within this residency\, they have taken additional printmaking workshops including: Introduction to Etching with Alison Frank\, Botanical Inks with Skye Louis\, Reduction Woodcut with Matt Dunlop\, Photolithography Basics with Jamie Lee-Girodat\, Painterly Printmaking with Christina Krentz\, Secrets of Chine Collé with Myken McDowell\, and Linocut Cardmaking through A/P’s community programming. \nThey began their printmaking practice making works about notions of home\, observing and communicating their diasporic intimacies of displacement\, survival and longing. Working in their personal archives of memories\, personal belongings\, and photographs\, they attempt to bridge gaps in knowledge of fragmented identities through stories of migration\, colonialism and capitalism. They also utilized the archives at Mount Royal University to place themself within larger narratives of queer resilience as a queer\, non-binary Filipino\, finding comfort in the community of ancestors that have lived before them. By understanding ways they have survived in hostility\, they nurture a future of belonging\, healing and joy. Jules also built skills in bookbinding through one-on-one workshops with Barbara Sutherland\, expanding possibilities for self-publishing and art book making. They also learned about creative processes and research practices in creative mentorship with Marigold Santos. Their printmaking explorations were immensely supported by the staff at A/P: Tracy\, Jamie and Rachel. \nJules’ Artist Bio\nJules de Guzman (they/he) is a queer Filipinx writer/poet\, artist and researcher currently based in Mohkinstis. Their work is shaped by their experience as a second generation immigrant in the Filipino diaspora\, their educational background in sociology and creative writing\, and their involvement with local arts and music communities. Decolonial activism and advocacy for marginalized narratives drives their passion for library/archival work\, creative writing and artistic practice. DIY publishing and zine making is foundational in their practice with their poetry and writing being published in several arts and literary publications. They began taking classes at Alberta Printmakers in the summer of 2023 beginning with Cyanotype Magic. Since then\, they have taken 8 more workshops in the past year including photolithography\, reduction woodcut and silkscreening in colour. They are a community taught artist having expanded their artistic skills through workshops and kinship practices of drawing\, painting\, photography\, filmmaking\, music and collage. Jules is moving to Tiohtià:ke to do a master’s in library and information sciences so they can further their knowledge of archives\, libraries and art. \nKamika Bianca Guerra-Walker\nArtist Statement\nAs a 2023/24 Artist in Residence for Alberta Printmakers and M:ST Performative Art\, I have been blessed with the opportunity to dream\, create freely and learn at my own pace. I took on this journey with the intention of exploring unknown territory through the learning of a new medium\, allowing me the chance to adapt my practice with vast modes of expression to share my message. \nThrough AP’s workshops\, I have been able to learn photolithography\, silkscreen printing and etching. I explored ; What inspires me and whom? Who do I want to connect with in this world and why? What figures have been dancing around the inner world of my mind waiting to land onto paper or canvas? When can I let them out… is it safe now? I think so. \nMy creations reflect these thoughts\, honoring a plethora of artists and revolutionaries that have inspired me through their music\, writing or message – giving me a sense of self as a young Afro-Latina Woman.I move onto my next journey of creations through self exploration\, connection to my vast communities and echoing my calls to action; to love one another unconditionally and support the marginalized. \nKamika’s Artist Bio\nKamika Bianca Guerra – Walker of Jamaican and Chilean heritage is a Calgarian\, Multidisciplinary visionary – creating as a visual artist\, poet\, model\, actress\, and excels as a film director\, producer\, and writer. Her films have garnered recognition from prominent organizations for their ability to evoke empathy and change in treatment towards those experiencing mental illnesses\, addictions\, and houselessness. Kamika is the founder of mental health organization -The Walker Foundation\, sits on the board of the Black Arts and Culture Council of Calgary and Latin Artist collective\, Como Se Dice. She has directed short films\, documentaries\, docu-series\, commercial advertisements and music videos. \nKamika is currently engulfed in several professional development residences across Canada producing different works of art in printmaking\, mixed media\, film and poetry. She has been exploring her practice and fine tuning her skills through artist-in-Residence programs by Arts Commons\, The Canadian Academy of Cinema & Television\, Marriott Residence Inn\, Alberta Printmakers and M:ST Performative Art. Her ultimate aspiration is to continue exploring and blending artistic mediums to ignite societal change and inspire individuals to always approach life with compassion as their leading principle\, triumphing over their human instinctive judgment.
