Dispelling Misconceptions:
A Fresh Perspective on AI
Attendees are encouraged to join the discussion, ask questions, and explore their own thoughts on the intersection of AI and creativity in a collaborative and welcoming environment.
 In partnership with Harbour Collective and First Fridays, artist and mentor Erika Lincoln invite us to reflect on AI and how it has evolved. Through storytelling and critical insights, she’ll challenge common misconceptions and open up a dialogue on the technolgy’s artistic potential.
AI Mentorship Residency: Breaking the System participants, Aderemilekun “Oluuji” Olusoga and Kris Snowbird will bring their unique perspectives to the conversation with a dynamic show-and-tell. They’ll share their initial encounters with AI, key takeaways from their residency, how AI has shaped their artistic practices, and the challenges they’ve navigated along the way.
Attendees are encouraged to take part in the discussion—ask questions, share thoughts, and engage in an open exploration of AI’s intersection with creativity. This final presentation serves as both a celebration of artistic discoveries and the closing event of AI Mentorship Residency: Breaking the System.
The Art Talk will be followed by a guided Art Walk to a selection of galleries, artist-run centres and artist studios open late for First Fridays in the Exchange.
