Changes at WIAprojects!
WIAprojects will
be leaving the Centre for Women’s Studies in Education at OISE UT on Dec 31,
2018. The Centre is closing and it is with much regret that our program must
leave. We are deeply grateful to the Centre for 14 years of office, storage and
exhibition space, research and workshop opportunities, the collegiality of
fellow associates, and the extraordinary support of many Centre Heads.
WIAprojects will
be continuing to develop projects – in research, publication and exhibition - on
an ad hoc basis at different sites across Canada. We will however have an
ongoing presence in Toronto thanks to the support of Phil Anderson and Gallery
1313. WIAprojects@1313 will present
monthly exhibitions in the gallery courtyard window at Gallery 1313. These
exhibitions may be accompanied by courtyard performances.
For 2018 WIA Directors, Leena Raudvee and Pam Patterson will,
as co-curators, present a series of 4 window exhibits by artists and
designers opening with an ARTIFACTS window, Tiny
Homes: Everyone is Downsizing on August 1st. Mary Kainer will be our October exhibitor, Pamela Dodds will be our November window and Berenicci Hershorn will be exhibiting in December.
