This collection of Blac k and White images showcases the results of a specialized portrait worksho p hosted by the Hart House Camera Club\, at the University of Toronto wher e five photographers engaged in a rigorous three-hour studio and darkroom exercise in visual storytelling. \nWhile the participants shared the same physical environment utilizing the same models\, props\, and lighting\, th e resulting images reveal the profound subjectivity of the creative eye. T he exhibition acknowledges that perception is the architect of reality\; t hough the space was shared\, the experiences captured remain deeply person al and distinct… Perception becomes reality. \nCentral to this exhibitio n is the technical artistry of the wet darkroom. The final creative output relies on the delicate calibration of exposure\, aperture\, and contrast to translate a film negative into a finished print. Each frame serves as a moment punctuated in time\, where the tactile manipulation of light and s hadow is used to deliver the photographer’s specific vision and emotiona l voice. \nThe works display in this exhibition were developed during my 2 025-2026 residency. As part of this residency\, which supports The Univers ity of Toronto’s Hart House Camera Club artists in developing innovative darkroom expressions\, I facilitated this workshop that married technical instruction and individual artistic exploration. With the incredible tale nt of these photographers who participated\, this collaboration for ‘Sha dow and Light: Darkroom Edition’ came to be. \nThis exhibition serves as a testament to the intersection of traditional darkroom practices and con temporary storytelling.

Through the F estival\, Polaris creates space for audiences to listen differently\, gath er around important Canadian albums\, and explore how music shapes culture \, identity\, memory\, and belonging. \nCuratorial Statement \nMusic funct ions as both a collective archive and a deeply personal artifact capable o f evoking new forms of memory. As a platform\, the Polaris Cover Sessions challenge pre-established narratives of Canadian music\; rather than merel y replicating songs\, artists unsettle the boundary between origin and int erpretation by asking what it means to reconstruct a track through their o wn lived reality. These works center on the act of translation\, as these artists also explore how a song etched in public memory can become a sonic ally pliable tool for subjectivity and inclusivity. \nThrough gestures ran ging from Pierre Kwenders’ electrifyingly upbeat cover of Jean-Pierre Fe rland’s “It Ain’t Fair\,” to the airy and intimate alterations of Kaia Kater’s take on Broken Social Scene’s “Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl\,” Polaris Cover Session artists imprint their own identit ies and histories onto public memory. Far from erasing the original compos itions\, and while still maintaining an act of homage to the original arti sts\, these radical shifts and subtle distinctions enrich and transform no stalgic resonance into a living\, breathing dialogue. \nUn/Covering Memory – Personal Reinterpretations in the Polaris Cover Sessions asks us to c onsider how collective memory is negotiated\, proving that a song’s mean ing and produced memory is never static\; they are continuously reshaped b y the voices who seek to reimagine it.

Rather than attempting to capture botanic al detail\, the session will encourage participants to identify and record the essential characteristics of a plant\, including its overall form and relationship to its surroundings. The session will focus on observation a nd drawing exercises\, and will explore how plant massing\, texture\, and seasonal character contribute to the overall composition of the landscape. \n​Participants will encounter several of the Lassonde Art Trail’s ar tworks. These sculptures and installations will serve as points of inspira tion and observation\, encouraging participants to consider the relationsh ip between art\, landscape\, and ecology while expanding their approach to sketching in the field. \n​This program is at an advanced beginner leve l. Participants are expected to bring their own materials. A sketchbook an d graphite pencils are recommended. As this is an outdoor program\, we rec ommend dressing appropriately for the weather. Please be aware that the tr ees in the park system are not yet mature\, so there is little shade. \n ​Julie Berry Ourceau is a landscape and architectural designer\, artist\ , musician\, and educator. Having studied architecture and landscape archi tecture in Toronto and Paris\, Julie is a passionate environmentalist and educator. She combines a keen interest in ecological restoration\, and sus tainable environmental design\, with extensive experience in developing te chnical drawings\, graphic maps\, photorealistic renderings\, collages\, a nd hand sketching. She often teaches sketching workshops locally\, which c ombines her love of architecture\, landscape\, teaching\, and travel.

Set into walls in their original form or broken into flat\, re ctilinear pieces\, Blue Willow plates and their luminous blue-and-white su rface effectively framed gods and kings\, creating a multisensory space. \ nTaking the late 19th-century sites of Juna Mahal in Dungarpur and Junagad h Fort in Bikaner as points of departure\, this online talk will explore h ow the design and materiality of Willow ware and its display acquired new meaning and purpose in Indian palaces. \nEvoking the tradition of tiled or namentation and the display of ceramics in the chini khana (“China room ”) in India\, while also referencing European porcelain rooms\, the tran sferware-covered walls reveal the complex cultural negotiations and materi al and political aspirations of 19th-century India. By examining the India n reuse of Willow ware\, which has been largely studied in terms of Wester n responses to Chinese export porcelain\, this talk complicates the conven tional narrative of West looking East and instead highlights the nonlinear and multidirectional flows of ceramic culture. \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n General : P WYC starting at $5\n \n \n \n Students : Free\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n Get Tickets\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n  \n \n\ n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jun agadh Fort\nBikaner\, India\nPhoto: Radiokafka \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n  \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \ n \n About the Speaker\n \n \n \n Heeryoon Shi n \n \n \n \n Heeryoon Shin is Assistant Professor of Art History and Visual Cul ture at Bard College.

Animals and unexpected chara cters often inhabit familiar-looking places\, creating scenes that seem to carry a story while leaving room for viewers to find their own. \nDuring  Artist VOICES\, Jones will share where his ideas begin and take audience s behind the scenes of his mixed-media practice\, from photography and the creation of curated environments through digital composition and\, ultima tely\, the finished work. The presentation offers a rare opportunity to se e not only what an artist creates\, but how an image evolves from inspirat ion to realization. \nJones became a full-time artist in 2013 after leavin g a career in corporate sales. Since then\, he has developed a distinctive visual language that explores the memories and narratives we attach to pl aces\, objects and images. His work has been exhibited and collected throu ghout Canada and internationally. \nArtist VOICES is a WAAC presentation series that brings artists and audiences together for an inside look at ar tistic practice\, inspiration and the many different paths that lead to a finished work.
