*La version française suivra* <br><br>The FOFA team is excited to invite you to celebrate the opening of our newest exhibitions.<br><br>On view in the Main Space from March 4th to April 12th, 2024 <br>The Nearness of Distance brings together films by Nancy Barić and Steven J. Yazzie, centering relationships with land and water. Alternating between documentary style representation and abstract imagery and sound, the two films explore issues of representation, ecology, and stewardship. The films interweave personal, collective and historical narratives, while speaking of connection and disconnection due to colonialism. <br><br>On view in the York Vitrines from March 4th - May 24th, 2024 <br>Praises Unsung emerges as a poignant exploration of eldest daughter perspectives, within the tapestry of immigrant and African households. The exhibition breathes life into the multifaceted roles the women in Sarah-Mecca' Abdourahman’s family embody beyond the expectation of providing emotional stability and being selfless nurturers. This installation of paintings explores the resemblances between the dynamic and physically taxing roles of the eldest daughter and mother, and weaves a narrative of grace, a tribute to the endurance of these women, and an affirmation that embracing rest is an act of profound strength. <br><br>On view in the Black Box from March 4th - April 12th, 2024 <br>Please whisper (like the wind in the trees) is a selection of texts, zines, and artist books selected by the staff librarians at Concordia’s student-run arts library, the Fine Arts Reading Room (FARR). <br><br>In response to the works Mountain Song by Steven J. Yazzie and Electric Water by Nancy Barić, the library staff has created an offering of resources that reflect the themes of ecology, decoloniality, flow, movement, and the poetics of water. This selection carefully highlights Indigenous artists and knowledge keepers and offers space to reflect on readers’ own relationships with land. We invite you to explore, to linger, to exist, to critique and to wonder within these walls in quiet togetherness, to take time in this space to co-exist with our collection. <br><br>--- <br><br>L'équipe du FOFA est heureuse de vous inviter à célébrer l'ouverture de nos nouvelles expositions. Rendez-vous à la Galerie FOFA pour le vernissage le 21 mars 2024 de 17h à 20h.<br><br>A voir dans l'espace principal du 4 mars au 12 avril 2024. <br>À portée de la distance rassemble des films de Nancy Barić et Steven J. Yazzie, centrés sur les relations avec la terre et l'eau. Alternant entre une représentation de style documentaire, et une imagerie et un son abstraits, les deux films explorent les questions de représentation, d'écologie et d'intendance. Les films entremêlent des récits personnels, collectifs et historiques, tout en évoquant la connexion et la déconnexion dues au colonialisme. <br><br><br>Exposition dans les Vitrines York du 4 mars au 24 mai 2024 <br>Louanges méconnues se présente comme une exploration poignante des perspectives de la fille aînée, au sein de la tapisserie des ménages immigrés et africains. L'exposition donne vie aux rôles multiples que les femmes de la famille de Sarah-Mecca Abdourahman incarnent au-delà de l'attente d'une stabilité émotionnelle et d'un rôle d'éducatrice désintéressée. Cette installation de peintures explore les ressemblances entre les rôles dynamiques et physiquement éprouvants de la fille aînée et de la mère, et tisse un récit de grâce, un hommage à l'endurance de ces femmes, et une affirmation que le fait d'embrasser le repos est un acte de force profonde. <br><br>Exposition dans la Boîte noire du 4 mars au 12 avril 2024 <br>Chuchotez (comme le vent dans les arbres) est une sélection de textes, de zines et de livres d'artistes choisis par les bibliothécaires du personnel de la bibliothèque d'art gérée par les étudiants de Concordia, la Fine Arts Reading Room (FARR). <br><br>En réponse aux œuvres Mountain Song [Chanson de montage] de Steven J. Yazzie et Electric Water [Eau électrique] de Nancy Barić, le personnel de la bibliothèque a créé une offre de ressources qui reflètent les thèmes de l'écologie, de la décolonialité, du flux, du mouvement et de la poétique de l'eau. Cette sélection met soigneusement en valeur les artistes autochtones et les gardiens du savoir et offre un espace de réflexion sur les propres relations des lecteurs avec la terre. Nous vous invitons à explorer, à vous attarder, à exister, à critiquer et à vous émerveiller entre ces murs, en toute tranquillité, et à prendre le temps de coexister avec notre collection.
