VP Learning Laboratories – In Place (Jason Kahn)

What does it mean to listen, as opposed to just hearing? How do we interact with the social and physical spaces we move through each day by listening or not listening? How can we raise our awareness of the world around us by paying more attention to its sounds and how they influence our lives? In this workshop we’ll explore these questions and consider what listening can mean in our everyday lives.

Welcome Iyunade Judah!

VP would like to enthusiastically welcome our new Creative Programs Manager, Iyunade Judah.

Iyunade (he/him) is coming to VP fresh after graduating from the University of Winnipeg’s film program and brings with him a deep-seeded interest in experimentation and exploration through creative practices. As a visual artist, Iyunade’s focus is largely on photography, film and sound, using re-imagination and symbolism to investigate the relationships between blackness and masculinity, tradition and love.

We’re excited about how this will fit with VP’s focus on exploration and technology, and are really looking forward to Iyunade getting settled with us and helping guide the VP ship into new explorations with art and technology.

Please join us in welcoming Iyunade to the VP team!

Chukwudubem Ukaigwe | Tracing Currents

Originally developed from his Scott Leroux Fund for Media Arts Exploration Residency, Tracing Currents is a new, immersive multi-channel installation that cites multiple degrees of casual and fleeting happenings. This work colligates both extensive and distinct records of Afro-diasporic mappings by means of juxtaposing ambient and evanescent videos of African life with documentations of Black families dining together in Canada.
