Join us this Saturday, 21 February at 7:00pm for BATH OPERA by Julia E. Dyck—the closing performance of 𝘞𝘦𝘵 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘢𝘭 at Platform Centre (100 Arthur Street). BATH OPERA is a participatory sound-theater performance inspired by rituals of public baths and collective practices of listening and singing, emphasizing the transformative power of communal experience. Structured as a participatory performance in 4 acts, BATH OPERA engages audiences in the immersive experience of sound, scent and movement in an installation setting. The piece brings together three bathing practices: Finnish Sauna ritual, Queer Bathhouse Culture and Sound Bathing. All voices are welcome in the BATH OPERA—come and sing! Julia E. Dyck is a Canadian artist and hypnotherapist based in Brussels whose multidisciplinary practice weaves sound, performance, and altered states of consciousness to explore the porous boundaries between the body, technology, and the (sub)conscious. Working through relational and speculative methodologies, she invites audiences into immersive experiences of collective transformation, using voice, vibration, and narrative as portals into new modes of perception and presence. Trained in hypnotherapy, Dyck creates participatory works that foreground sonic imagination and expanded listening. She is a member of Audio Placebo Plaza, a feminist project in radical sonic care and placebo aesthetics, and part of t.r.a.n.c.e, a community hypnosis initiative exploring shared states of awareness. Dyck’s practice is grounded in the politics of listening and the poetics of suggestion, seeking to dissolve rigid boundaries between audience and performer, inner and outer worlds, the self and its many possible versions. Her recent research moves through queer ecologies, psychoacoustics, and the subconscious as a site of resistance, repair, and renewal.

Join us this First Friday, 6 February for 𝘞𝘦𝘵 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘢𝘭's second performance, 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘔𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, by Nancy Nguyen, from 7PM - 9PM. This performance and exhibition is co-presented with @send.receive Nancy Nguyen’s performance uses water not as subject, but as collaborator. Working live with suminagashi, a traditional Japanese paper-marbling technique, Nguyen paints charcoal ink onto the surface of water, allowing chance, movement, and gravity to shape each image before transferring it onto rice paper. Rooted in a process-driven and meditative practice, the performance emphasizes letting materials lead rather than controlling outcomes. Titled When Nature Meets Chance, the work reflects Nguyen’s interest in the moment where intention and unpredictability align. The performance invites audiences into a contemplative space where images emerge as fleeting records of water, time, and attention. BIOGRAPHY Nancy Nguyen is a multidisciplinary artist of Vietnamese descent, born and raised in Winnipeg MB, Canada. She received her BFA studying graphic design at the University of Manitoba and moved to British Columbia for 8 years to work as a graphic artist. There, she was able to practice traditional forms of Asian art such as Ikebana (Japanese flower arranging), Gong-Fu Cha (Chinese tea tasting), and Sumi-e ink painting, as well as music production. Currently based in Winnipeg, in 2024, she won third place at her first local beat-making competition and continues to venture into music as a way to expand her practice. Her sound can be described as dark, experimental and nasty. Nancy has always had an interest in reimagining her cultural roots through non-western forms of art and philosophy. Themes of Buddhism and spirituality are explored through her experimental process of making and she sees her curiosity for various art practices, as a way of life.

PLATFORM centre and send + receive are thrilled to co-present 𝘞𝘦𝘵 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘢𝘭, an intermedial group exhibition of works by Bret Parenteau (MB), Julia E. Dyck (BXL) and Nancy Nguyen (MB). This exhibition will be activated by 3 performances. Join us for the opening reception and first performance, 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘱𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘚𝘱𝘢, by Bret Parenteau on 10 January, 7PM - 9PM at PLATFORM. OPENING RECEPTION & PERFORMANCE | Loops for Spa, by Bret Parenteau - 10 January, 7PM - 9PM PERFORMANCE | When Nature Meets Chance, by Nancy Nguyen, 6 February, 7PM - 9PM CLOSING RECEPTION & PERFORMANCE | BATH OPERA, by Julia E. Dyck, 21 February, 7PM - 9PM 𝘞𝘦𝘵 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘢𝘭 brings together works by Bret Parenteau, Julia E. Dyck, and Nancy Nguyen that explore sound, water, and image as interconnected systems of transmission. Across recording, performance, print, and moving image, the exhibition considers how signals behave when filtered through bodies, liquids, and porous surfaces; where listening becomes tactile, images carry sound, and water acts as both medium and metaphor. Moving between ritual and noise, intimacy and interference, 𝘞𝘦𝘵 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘢𝘭, invites audiences to listen with their bodies. The exhibition proposes a shared condition of immersion, where signals are never clean or dry, and meaning circulates through wet systems, communal baths, feedback loops, breath, and vibration. Curated by Cam Scott and Meganelizabeth Diamond Generously supported by Manitoba Arts Council BIOGRAPHIES Bret Parenteau is a sound/noise artist based in Winnipeg. Under Wasauksing Sniper and the initials B.P., Parenteau creates noise, field recording, sound collage & tape manipulation. Julia E. Dyck is a Canadian artist and hypnotherapist based in Brussels whose multidisciplinary practice weaves sound, performance, and altered states of consciousness to explore the porous boundaries between the body, technology, and the (sub)conscious.

This Sunday, October 26th, TakeHome QTBIPOC Arts House and send + receive partner for an intro to beatmaking workshop with Hassaan Ashraf and Nancy Nguyen. Hassaan and Nancy will introduce their music making processes and workflow, and Hassaan will discuss how to repurpose old and accessible gear and the right to repair movement—no gear required! The workshop takes place at TakeHome (100 Arthur Street, 6th floor) at 5pm and is suitable to all skill levels. Currently based in Tiotia:ke, colonially montreal, hassaan has been making sounds for over 25 years. Staring her journey in Lahore as a metal guitar player, over the years she’s bloomed in to a multi-instrumentalist producer and composer with her work in improvisational powerhouses like Satan’s Chewtoys (winnipeg), visual direction with Overload (Lahore) and after many years of wait, she’s laying the foundation to launch her cassette label for marginalized musicians in montreal/winnipeg/lahore. As a staunch advocate of the Right to Repair movement, hassaan has specialized in keeping old smart devices functioning and useable as an effort to reduce e waste, she believes in the refusal to participate in the unethical extraction of cobalt through genocide, exploitation and child labor in Congo perpetuated by far west nations, their evil tech companies like apple, google, samsung and many others. Nancy Nguyen is primarily a visual artist and traditional East Asian art enthusiast. She has been practicing various traditional forms of art, such as sumi-e ink painting, Ikebana (Japanese flower arranging) and more recently, music production, while living in Vancouver, BC where most of her musical influence came from. She started experimenting with GarageBand during quarantine in 2020 and won third place in a beat making competition in her hometown Winnipeg, MB in 2024. Her music can be described as experimental, South East Asian, and nasty.
