Closing tomorrow! Don't miss your chance to catch The Logline Project, which turns speculative micro-narratives by screenwriters into original movie posters, using the familiar language of film to explore the impact of GenAI on creative workers and creativity.

Expect stories that range from dystopic to hopeful...with monsters, vampiric beasts, corporations, broadcasting networks, and an industry undergoing rapid technological change.

The artists in Over and Over Again are connected by their understanding of people, objects, and ways of life separated by history and distance. Their works reckon with futures that honour tradition while exploring new understandings of space and time.

Featuring Carol-Ann Apilado, Kuh Del Rosario, Sukaina Kubba, and Esmelyn Miranda Orozco. Curated by Ava Clarke.

Opening Reception: September 16 | 3:30–5:00pm

The works in Over and Over Again use abstract interpretations of weaving to tell stories and transmit ideas, with materials that toe the line between natural and synthetic: recycled plastics that act as raw materials, organic matter that performs like plastic, and synthetic textiles that mimic natural fibres.

Stories and myths are retold. Artistic traditions are passed down through generations. The organic world cycles constantly through life and death. And yet, no repetition is ever exactly the same.

Over and Over Again, curated by Ava Clarke, explores repetition, change, and the possibilities that emerge when familiar patterns shift.

When is “the same” not really the same?

A perfect replica of a rare Shakespeare Folio couldn’t fully replace the original. Even a clone of a beloved pet wouldn’t be the same pet. But your morning coffee? You might be perfectly happy to replicate that every day.

At this year’s Annual Jackman Lecture in the Humanities, philosopher Gwen Bradford explores why uniqueness matters and why, for certain important things, no substitute will do.

📅 October 8 | 4–6pm
📍 Room 100, 170 St. George St.
