SUMMARY:Opening Reception: “Threading through Time: Stories of Migration and Resilience”
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time: Thursday\, October 1st at 7 PM – 10 PM\nGallery Hours: Tuesdays – Fridays: 10 AM – 5 PM & Saturdays: 12 PM – 4 PM\nLocation: ODD Gallery\, Dënäkär Zho |  KIAC\nIndigenous Territory: Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in territory\, Dawson City\, Yukon \nJoin us at the ODD Gallery for the opening reception of Threading through Time: Stories of Migration and Resilience\, a solo exhibition by Indian-Canadian multidisciplinary artist Par Nair. \nThrough hand embroidery\, textile-based installation\, and creative writing\, Nair explores the connections between migration\, memory\, cultural heritage\, and belonging. Drawing from South Indian textiles and ancestral practices\, her work honours the women who came before her while imagining diasporic futures shaped by care\, resilience\, and resistance. \nWith deeply personal storytelling and labour-intensive textile practices\, Threading through Time invites us to consider how cultural traditions carry memories across generations\, how displaced identities adapt and survive\, and how creative practices can become tools for healing and imagining new possibilities. \nCome celebrate the opening of this thoughtful and intimate exhibition with us at the ODD Gallery. Everyone is welcome! \n\nAbout the Artist\nPar Nair (she/her) is an Indian-Canadian multidisciplinary artist and educator living and working in the Greater Toronto Area. Her practice explores lived experiences of diaspora through decolonial methods and a return to ancestral practices\, working across painting\, hand embroidery\, installation\, and creative writing. \nPar holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts from OCAD University and has exhibited nationally and internationally\, including at the Textile Museum of Canada\, Craft Ontario\, the Kochi Biennale\, and Nuit Blanche. She currently teaches drawing\, painting\, and critical theory at OCAD University and facilitates painting and hand embroidery workshops in collaboration with libraries and art institutions. \nThis exhibition is made possible through the generous support of our funders and community supporters. \n

SUMMARY:Jaimie Robson | Uprooted Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:February 6 – March 14\, 2026 ODD Gallery\, Dënäkär Zho |  KIAC Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in territory\, Dawson City\, Yukon \n\n\n\nOPENING RECEPTION: Thursday\, February 6th at 7PM – 10PM \n\n\n\nUPROOTED\n\n\n\nUprooted is an immersive shadow installation that explores notions of collective loss and grief as they relate to impending climate change. The work grapples with wildfires that are wreaking havoc on the landscape and uprooting small communities. The project begins on the forest floor\, bringing a microscopic lens to the ground beneath our feet. This up-close perspective serves as an entry point for thinking about larger issues of climate anxiety\, uncertainty\, and the notion of solastalgia. \n\n\n\nAbout Jaimie Robson\nJaimie Robson is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in cut paper/shadow and porcelain. She uses traditional craft-based techniques to create contemporary artworks and installations. In 2011\, she co-founded the artist collective Mere Phantoms\, along with Atelier Make\, a ceramics studio in Montreal. She completed her BFA at Emily Carr University (2002) and an MA (Media Studies) at Concordia University in 2012. She has exhibited in Canada and internationally\, including the Istanbul Biennial (2013)\, Brandts Museum (Denmark\, 2015)\, Grunt Gallery (2017)\, Hamilton Art Inc\, and Surrey Art Gallery (2022). Jaimie has led numerous neighbourhood-based public art projects and brings participatory practices elements into her work. \n\n\n\n\n\nCrédits: \n\n\n\nUprooted bénéficie du soutien financier du Conseil des arts du Canada et du Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec. \n\n\n\nCredits: \n\n\n\nUprooted benefits from the financial support of the Canada Council for the Arts and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec. \n\n\n\n\n\n
