SUMMARY:Classic Cinema Night: Ikiru - April 19th
DESCRIPTION:Ikiru (1952)\nDir. Akira Kurosawa\nJapan | 1952 | 2h 23m \nFree entry\, Cash Concessions\, doors at 6:30. \nIn this gorgeous film\, the legendary Japanese director\, Akira Kurosawa adapts Leo Tolstoy’s 1886 novella\, “The Death of Ivan Ilyich” to tell the story of a bureaucrat\, Kanji Watanabe who learns how fleeting and precious life really is when he is diagnosed with stomach cancer. After  realizing he only has a short time left and concluding his job is absurd\, Kanji’s search for meaning reconnects him to the life he sacrificed for work. After years of stagnation\, the rediscovery and resurgence of his soul is unforgettable cinema and the ultimate memento mori. \nIkiru (Japanese – ‘to live”) is Akira Kurosawa’s answer to his existential musing about what it all really means. Considered by many to be his greatest (Samurai-free!) film\, this masterful study of life and afterlife is profoundly moving and relatable. Do yourself a favour and come on down this April 19th to affirm life by facing death. Free on Dawson’s only big screen at Dënäkär Zho/KIAC Ballroom.

SUMMARY:In the ODD Gallery: Cole Pauls "Iłēge zedle s̱on nes̱it'īn | We See Stars Only At Night"
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to welcome We See Stars Only At Night\, a new exhibition by Yukon artist Cole Pauls\, to the ODD Gallery. \nThis immersive installation brings Pauls’ latest graphic novel into the gallery space in its entirety—featuring 80 pages of original\, hand-drawn comics displayed across the walls. The work expands beyond the page\, with layered collage elements\, zip-a-tone textures\, and repeating shapes transforming the gallery into a dreamlike environment you can move through. \nCreated intuitively without a set script\, We See Stars Only At Night unfolds as a surrealist exploration of Tahltan culture\, storytelling\, and connection to land. The imagery moves between the personal and the collective\, weaving together animals\, regalia\, harvesting practices\, and cultural knowledge. \nBy presenting the graphic novel as both book and installation\, Pauls invites visitors to experience the story in a completely unique way—encountering each page as part of a larger\, living composition. \nCome spend some time with this powerful and imaginative work. \nAbout Cole Pauls \nCole Pauls is a Champagne and Aishihik Citizen and Tahltan comic artist\, illustrator\, and printmaker from Haines Junction\, Yukon. His work blends humour\, surrealism\, and Indigenous storytelling\, with a focus on language\, land\, and cultural continuity. He is the author of four graphic novels\, including Dakwäkãda Warriors\, Pizza Punks\, Kwändür\, and We See Stars Only At Night. \nGallery Hours: \nTuesday- Friday: 10am- 5pmSaturday: 12pm -4pm
