Macaulay House Studio Residency
Cheryl and Lisa at Macaulay House
C. Hamilton and Lisa G.
February 3rd – February 27th , 2026
K\’emk\’emeláy̓ (Vancouver, BC)
We’re excited to welcome C. Hamilton and Lisa G for a four-week residency at the Macaulay House! There, they will be developing CO-DEPENDENT, a new multimedia installation exploring relationships, collaboration, and queer experience with humour and critical insight.
Lisa G is a queer filmmaker, storyteller, and performer living on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. A founding member of Vancouver’s Iris Film Collective and producer/mentor with Our World, their award-winning work spans animation, analog film, digital media, and performance.
C. Hamilton is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose practice includes drawing, painting, printmaking, film, and sculpture. Influenced by comics, surrealism, queer and counter culture, her work blends humour with bold visual language.
Collaborating since 2017, the married artists will use this residency to create new works investigating “codependency,” shared histories, haunting, and relational systems. Working with found Super 8 footage and site-responsive performance, CO-DEPENDENT asks: Is collaboration a strength? What does interdependence mean in our current world?
During their time here, they have connected with SOVA faculty and students and participated in their annual DUMP RUN project, and their project Motorbike Superdyke has had a spot in our very own ODD Gallery in past years.
