Grateful to the @canada.council for the recent funding to continue my biomaterials research.
Will be experimenting with new works during my residency @easternedge.arc this spring and showing with some pretty amazing artists at @apexartnyc .
Other projects and happenings also on the horizon, so pretty excited to witness it all unfold~~🦠⚗️✨

Just a few weeks to go @ekwc_oisterwijk .
The past two and a half months have been an incredible, non-stop learning, making, and growing experience.
In greatest part thanks to the phenomenal staff and people here that enable my wild ideas and endless project starts.
Feeling it all, with deep gratitude and conscious joy.

I am absolutely thrilled to be building, experimenting, and firing up new works at the @ekwc_oisterwijk artist residency this summer.
Many thanks to the @canada.council for funding this opportunity for joyful making amidst the ever present day chaos.

Conclusion of Future Worldings [Sep-Dec 2024]
Curated by Lisa Baldissera, Usha Seejarim and Karen Tam, Future Worldings brings Canadian artists Nura Ali (based in Calgary, on the lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy, Tsuut’ina, Îyâxe Nakoda Nations and Métis Nation Region 3), Sun Forest and Xwalacktun (both residing on the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm [Musqueam], Skwxwú7mesh [Squamish] and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh [Tsleil-Waututh] Nations) together with Johannesburg-based South African artists Pebofatso Mokoena, Lebogang Mogul Mabusela, and Wezile Harmans to consider approaches of collective and collaborative “worldmaking.” The project concerns itself with how it may be possible to “world” collectively while retaining the specificities of site, body, history, access, and cultural understandings.
