This workshop is offered IN-PERSON or ONLINE
IN-PERSON: Participants will be invited to work directly on the gallery walls, building upon Gentle Disruptions–an exhibition that explores how covert and playful acts can lead to a more kind, equity-amplified environment.

ONLINE: Remotely, folks will learn how to prep, design, and create DIY wheatpaste projects that they can spread as they wish. Abby’s favourite wheatpasting locations are public washrooms and quiet bus stops.

Morgan Wedderspoon (she/her) is a Katarokwi-Kingston based visual artist and a settler of Scottish-English descent. She maintains an arts practice in print media including book works, sculpture, installation, and participatory projects. Rooted in collection and observation practices throughout her urban environment, her work engages with the uneasiness of living in the ruins of late capitalism and the possibilities for collective change in the face of climate breakdown. She is a graduate of Queen’s University (2009) and holds a Master of Fine Arts in Printmaking from the University of Alberta (2016). She is an educator and community arts advocate.

Abby Nowakowski (she/they) is a queer interdisciplinary artist and art educator who is driven by curiosity and kindness. Through printmaking, illustration and handpoke tattooing, they spread advocacy for care, share stories, and make space for radical softness. Their practice extends into art facilitation with a range of collaborations including workshops, performances, and community weaving opportunities. Abby currently lives and works as an uninvited guest on the traditional land of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabek.
