SUMMARY:Opening Reception 記憶犯罪 | Memory Crimes | Les Crimes de Mémoire
DESCRIPTION:Taiwanese-Canadian artist Edward FuChen Juan explores the intersections of personal memory\, collective history\, and decolonization through printmaking and handmade paper. Drawing from Taiwanese Gampi papermaking traditions alongside plants native to Canada\, Juan creates intricate works that weave together family histories\, cultural knowledge\, and reflections on displacement\, justice\, and healing.\n\nThe exhibition considers the legacy of Taiwan’s White Terror alongside contemporary conversations around truth\, reconciliation\, and Indigenous sovereignty in Canada. Through handmade paper\, intaglio printmaking\, and large-scale installation\, Memory Crimes invites visitors to reflect on how materials can carry memory\, preserve histories\, and create space for reconciliation.\n\nTo support this story\, KIAC & SOVA will be jointly hosting a Washi Paper Making Workshop as part of the Print & Publishing course\, open to the public.Saturday\, August 810:00 AM–2:00 PMMore details and registration information will be announced separately.\n\nAbout the Artist\n\nEdward FuChen Juan (阮福辰) is a queer Taiwanese Canadian visual artist working primarily in printmaking\, papermaking\, and inkmaking. His practice combines copper etching\, aquatint\, silkscreen\, chine-collé\, and handmade paper to examine human rights activism\, decolonization\, and the experiences of the Taiwanese diaspora. His work is grounded in oral histories\, material research\, and visual documentation of people and places across Taiwan and Canada.\n\nEdward lives and works in Vancouver on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish)\, and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.\nWe look forward to welcoming you to ODD Gallery for the opening celebration and throughout the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Burnstick Live Concert at Dënäkär Zho / KIAC Ballroom
DESCRIPTION:Burnstick Live Concert at Dënäkär Zho / KIAC Ballroom\nDoors open – 7:30 / Concert – 8:00 \n— \nBurnstick is a Canadian folk music duo forged from passion and unfiltered emotion — where two voices become one powerful musical force. Anchored by the resonant Weissenborn lap slide guitars of Plains-Cree guitarist Jason Burnstick and the rich\, poetic songwriting and harmonies of francophone-Métis vocalist Nadia Burnstick\, their sound is at once cinematic and intimate. Drawing from a decade of life lived fully — as partners in both art and life — their music carries stories of love\, loss\, belonging\, and the sacred ties that shape who we are. Guided by a fearless creative spirit and unafraid to push boundaries\, Burnstick creates soul-stirring landscapes that challenge listeners to feel deeply and reflect inward. Backed by their drummer\, Nadia and Jason perform deeply resonant music that always strikes a chord with audiences. JUNO-nominated and critically acclaimed\, they stand not only as musicians but as storytellers of heart and human connection.

SUMMARY:Michael Cloud Duguay - KINGDOM COME\, KINGDOM GO - Live Concert at Dënäkär Zho / KIAC Ballroom
DESCRIPTION:Michael Cloud Duguay – KINGDOM COME\, KINGDOM GO\nDoors open – 7:30 / Performance – 8:00\nCo-presented by Jazz Yukon \n— \nIn June\, 2024\, Canadian composer Michael Cloud Duguay and collaborators travelled over 1\,500km across Newfoundland in a self-built\, solar-powered mobile studio\, recording seven historic church organs in seven remote communities\, resulting in one of the most unique and imaginative albums ever produced in Canada. \nAt each stop\, the ensemble encountered remarkably different organs with unusual histories. Some were acoustic\, hand-cranked instruments while others relied on foot pedals to generate sound. Some were recently updated and featured digital keyboards and amplifiers. One had not been tuned in 120 years; another was buried beneath a pile of rubble in the upper gallery of a decommissioned Catholic church. \nWhile the foundation for the project’s material began with compositions and improvisational experiments\, the team’s collective interest in field recording\, spontaneous composition\, and responding to their environments shaped the work and enhanced its development. Duguay conducted a series of interviews with church wardens\, reverends\, congregants\, and community members at each location. These interviews explored\, from a secular perspective\, the history of the churches and foregrounded the progressive vanishing of these instruments as churches are shuttered while congregations decrease. \n— In addition to all of the album-focused recording activity\, the ensemble also diligently recorded each organ that appears on the album in order to document and archive them as digital midi instruments. These midi instruments will be released as sample packs to accompany the release of the album\, available for free to musicians\, composers\, and producers around the world for creative use. Duguay + his collaborators (Andrew MacKelvie\, Markus Lake\, Dave Grenon) will be touring and performing this material across Canada in Fall\, 2026\, putting to use the digital organ emulators that were designed and constructed by the team’s engineers. Thus\, the live performance does not require an actual pipe organ. Interpretations of the album material will be reproduced on digital instruments that precisely replicate the sound of the various organs and churches heard on the album\, accompanied by saxophone\, photo\, and live sound design and processing.
