material disobedience is an exhibition of boundary-pushing craft practices that reclaims and revels in what has been minimized as the frivolously feminine, the scandalously queer, or the exotically ornamental. This showcase brings together artists from Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec working in installation art, weaving, embroidery, sculptural ceramics, photography and video. Opening on Saturday May 30th, material disobedience also includes free and accessible grant-supported programming in the form of a panel discussion at Harbourfront Centre’s Studio Theatre (May 30), and a workshop with artist Théo Bignon (May 29).
