Find on Campus Map
Take time to slow down and deeply observe works in the exhibition Who is Belle Island?. Guided by Agnes docents, this contemplation practice allows for relaxation and new insights.
At Deep Looking, we aim to facilitate conversations around artworks shaped by participants鈥� unique perspectives, rather than promoting a singular reading. We ask that participants come with a willingness to listen, share and collaborate.
Kingston artists, Billie Kearns (aka Billie the Kid) and Jill Glatt collaborate on an exhibition that asks, 鈥渨hat does it mean to be a local artist?鈥� and 鈥渉ow can we honour the land with stories we tell?鈥� They propose Belle Island is 鈥渁 being who holds those who are both from this land and those who have come here from far away and live here now.鈥� Agnes鈥檚 Atrium is adorned with sound and tapestries coloured with natural dye and embroidered with poetry and quotes from stories contributed by local community members.
