The exhibition recognizes the importance of earrings throughout history in their various roles, from adornment and status markers, to protest and cultural statements.

Upstart and Crow partners with New Leaf for a fascinating, hands-on, two-day workshop in which attendees can transform a short poem into print form. You’ll learn the essentials of letterpress, including inking and printing techniques, how to set your own type, and how to operate the press yourselves. The end result will be a broadsheet with your chosen, short poem to take home… and, we bet, a fascination for this beautiful and meditative artform. Visit the link to register.
This exhibition explores the persistence of time, continuum, lifecycles in nature, the infinite ebb and flow of matter, and the personification of water as source. Artist Valerie Durant reflects on mortality, aging, and the human condition, touching on themes of loss and human fragility. The painterly images, incorporate analog and digital processes, including scans, reversals, and cyanotypes. This approach honours contemporary photographic practises, while referencing Dutch still-life paintings, memento mori, a reminder of the fleeting nature of life.
