careworn & coil

Friday, November 1st

careworn & coil by Christina Oyawale is exhibiting in The New Gallery’s Main Space from November 1 – December 19, 2024.

Join us on November 1st  from 7-9PM at The New Gallery for the opening reception of careworn & coil.

In careworn & coil, Christina Oyawale also confronts notions of ableism, practicing radical vulnerability through showcasing intimate details and documentation of their lived experience as a Black, mad, and disabled artist. Oyawale creates a space within the gallery for discourse, revelations and moving through uncomfortability into understanding.

Christina Oyawale (b. 2000 Toronto; lives and works in Toronto and Winnipeg) is a self-proclaimed “anarchist punk boy” and emerging multi-hyphenate artist, graphic designer, researcher + curator. Working with film, photography and text, they use memories, shared Black feminist history and knowledge exchange in order to create work that emphasizes curiosity of learning and documenting the necessity of slowness. Currently they are attempting to break free from the expected/frequent uses of identity politics under our current neo-liberalist society, that requires marginalized people to sell their identity in exchange for “visibility” in the art world and academia. Their work and research attempts to foster communal conversation surrounding capitalism, anti-Black racism, queer-/trans-phobia and ableism. Many of these socio-political conditions that they believe we should be fighting to dismantle. Their current research interests and musings surround: Social Reproduction Theory, the works of Angela Davis, Naomi Klein and Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò, queer USSR and Black feminist disability theory.

The CKUA Events Calendar is a listing of music, arts, and culture happenings for the whole province. It is a terrific resource that CKUA offers to the community, to share details about concerts, gallery openings, plays, and films.

Please note that due to the amount of listings, we publish events that focus on music, arts, or culture. While we'd love to publish all submitted items, the sheer number of events means that we sometimes have to decline submissions.

Email details to feedback@ckua.com and the CKUA team of calendar volunteers will do the rest.
