SUMMARY:Cyanotype Printmaking with Kwentong Bayan Collective
DESCRIPTION:Spend a fun afternoon making cyanotype prints using found objects and light!  No experience required. Please wear clothes you don’t mind getting messy. Ages 12+. Registration details TBA. This event activates Thin Spaces: the porous places between\, curated by Elwood Jimmy.  						\n				\n				\n				\n					\n							\n					\n													\n															\n								\n														\n												About the Curator\n					\n					Elwood Jimmy is a learner\, collaborator\, writer\, artist\, facilitator\, cultural manager\, and gardener. He is originally from the Thunderchild First Nation\, a Nêhiyaw community in the global north. For close to 20 years\, he has played a leadership role in several art projects\, collectives\, and organizations locally and abroad. His exhibition Thin Spaces: the porous places between explores themes of invisiblized labour and the politics of care work. This exhibition includes artwork by Christine De Vuono\, Justine Langille\, Kwentong Bayan Collective\, and Sal(t) Collective. \n				\n							\n					\n													\n															\n								\n														\n												About the Artists\n					\n					Kwentong Bayan Collective (KBC) is a Toronto-based artist collective. Our artistic mandate is to explore a critical and intersectional approach to community-based art\, labour\, and education. In the Filipino language\, “kwentong bayan” is the literal translation of “community stories”. A major part of KBC’s work is in collaboration with Filipino migrant care workers\, who support Canadian families to care for children\, elders\, and those with complex medical needs.  For 2025-2026\, Kwentong Bayan Collective are participating in the Eastern Comma Artists-in-Residence Program\, an initiative of the Musagetes Foundation that has its roots in a long-time programming relationship with the rare Charitable Research Reserve.  KBC’s comic on the history of the Live-in Caregiver Program was published in the award-winning book\, Drawn to Change: Graphic Histories of Working Class Struggle. KBC created a Visual Timeline of Caregiving Work in Canada poster that examines the 150+ year history of care work by indigenous and racialized women. Subsequently\, this work has been published in textbooks\, taught in high schools\, colleges and universities\, and presented at galleries in Toronto\, Mississauga\, Hamilton\, and Noisel\, France. \n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n				\n							For more information\, please contact Ada Bierling\, Interim Programming and Exhibitions Specialist\, at (905) 522-3003 ex. 29 or ada@wahc-museum.ca.
