Inflation, the housing crisis, and gentrification are calling into question the future of our global cities. Affordability, rising food costs, skyrocketing rents and real estate development are pushing people to the margins. Artists and creatives are quickly moving out of urban centres worldwide. Cultural workers are experiencing precarity on all levels, with studio spaces and creative workspaces vanishing at alarming numbers. This exhibition aims to think through how we can imagine an equitable future for citizens in which urban centres are healthy and livable places for us all. The exhibition will discuss this crisis point through art and creativity as a jumping-off point. Exhibiting Artists: Kezleigh Amy, ARTIFACTS, Beverly Daniels, Bret Culp, Douglas Gammage, Carly Friesen, Thomas Hlavacek, Ruth Maude, Joseph Muscat, Frances Patella, Dan Philips, Hye Yeon Shin, Patrick Stieber, Genevieve Singer, Jonathan Stern, Helena Wehrstein and Maddy Young. The Curator: Guest Curator, Ilene Sova is an artist and activist whose art practice focuses on equity and diversity with a feminist focus on creating a dialogue around anti-oppression. She is also heavily involved in arts advocacy, community activation, and curatorial projects that promote pluralism in the arts. Sova is the founder of the Feminist Art Conference and Blank Canvases, an in-school creative arts programme for elementary school students. https://www.helenawehrstein.com/new-blog/2023/8/1/salon17-at-propeller-art-gallery monthly 0.5 2023-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/563a3778e4b00beab7c0e02f/19e9a3f0-6868-4aa2-aa53-ad882b26cfb2/Salon+graphic1.jpeg Blog -

Flowers: from 1940 and 1950s sample books donated by a friend whose father worked in shmata (clothing) businesses and did jobbing of textile related stuff on the side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/563a3778e4b00beab7c0e02f/8ef8a8cd-ac36-43a3-a209-9e863afa8d0a/483+%282%29-ed2_2500.jpg ART 2023 - Make it stand out WE WILL NOT BE CAGED 2023 ~ 43 x 43 x 33 cm Reused ethernet cable wires, burnt metal frame, reused wood, acrylic paint Each wire represents a woman who is fighting to end violence against women.

Times change, I know, but at what cost… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/563a3778e4b00beab7c0e02f/51b24d23-ed67-4ceb-b45b-413b9e3235e7/493+%2825%29-ed_2500.jpg ART 2023 - Make it stand out MY MOM SAID….EAT YOUR GREENS! 2023 ~ 40 x 40 x 5 cm Motherboards and other bits from discarded electronic devices, ethernet cable wires, reclaimed wood, plastic cutlery, screws, acrylic paint.

Things Guatemalan are dear to my heart. This huipil (women’s top) was found in a huge jumbled pile of used ones, in Guatemala. I acknowledge the artistry of the unknown weaver and am inspired by traditional Mayans’ sense of colour and design. The huipil is inside out to expose loose ends in the weaving, like loose ends in my life, and in many people’s lives during the pandemic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/563a3778e4b00beab7c0e02f/be1cfa2c-ba20-426d-9071-22b2996920a6/492+%2844%29-ed_2500.jpg ART 2023 - Make it stand out LET IN SOME LIGHT 2023 ~ 40 x 40 x 5 cm Upcycled CD's, discarded ethernet cable wires, reclaimed wood, acrylic paint.
