[more+]

Tresses in the Tide represents the intersections of Black identity and natural acts of defiance, weaving together the strength of human and ecological survival against all odds. This body of work stems from years of personal research by Calgary-based artist eva birhanu. It explores themes of racism, colonialism, diaspora, and survival, with a particular focus on the enduring strength of Black bodies in the face of historical and ongoing oppression.

As a seasoned weaver and textile artist, birhanu employs techniques rooted in traditional and digital weaving practices to delve into these narratives. This exhibition presents a new series of large-scale tapestries, most of which were created during a two-week residency at the Praxis Fiber Workshop Digital Weaving Lab in Cleveland, Ohio. Utilizing the advanced capabilities of the TC2 Jacquard loom, these works embody a convergence of technology, craftsmanship, and conceptual depth.

The inspiration behind Tresses in the Tide lies in the parallels between Black communities and the defiance of natural ecosystems, particularly coral reefs. Over centuries, Black populations have demonstrated extraordinary acts of survival and resistance in the face of systemic violence and exploitation. Similarly, coral reefs—despite facing environmental degradation, climate change, and industrial encroachment—continue to adapt and endure, nurturing life and ecosystems around them. These dual narratives of defiance and thriving form the conceptual core of this series.

This selection of work is part of a broader exploration within birhanu’s practice that unpacks ideas of diaspora through the concept of portals or gateways. She views portals as a means of communicating a liminal space—a time in between, a link to another world, or way of being. These portals often take the form of natural entities such as the ocean or manifest through metaphor in text. This phenomenon overlaps with her practice’s foundation as an introspective, research-based journal of her lived experience as a Black woman living and working in the Canadian Prairies.

By threading together the stories of coral reefs, Black histories, and the notion of portals, Tresses in the Tide creates a space for reflection on the profound capacity to resist, adapt, and flourish against all odds.

Thanks to JP Albert for the generous loan of work that led to this retrospective of Floyd Kuptana's career.

-

The ongoing display of stone carvings throughout the gallery began as a memorial to master sculptor Floyd Kuptana after he passed away in May 2021.

-

In 2022 the gallery staged a major exhibition of Kuptana's paintings, pastels and sculptures with the contribution of many pieces belonging to the artist's longtime collaborator and friend, Jean-Paul Albert. At the time curator deborah harris wrote: "It is still hard to imagine that [Floyd] is not here with us, working, laughing, growling. We miss him."

-

Since then many of the sculptures have remained on display in multiple rooms throughout the four-floor gallery building, becoming part of the changing installations devised by harris. See below for a list of our individual spaces as well as our Eventbrite profile for current shows.

-

Floyd Kuptana was born on February 14, 1964 at Cape Parry, Northwest Territories. The arctic landscape ran through him as did the concrete shoreline of Lake Ontario, and the city streets he walked on. He made his home where he was. He left behind an extraordinary wealth of creatures some of which you can see displayed at Gallery Arcturus, a regular destination of the artist during the latter part of his career.

-

Here Kuptana engaged with other artists which often resulted in unusual collaborations or mutual challenges to work in new media including paint, pastel and collage. Much of this work is recorded in books published by the gallery and available for sale or free viewing on our websites.

-

We invite you to spend time with the sculptures [as well as the books available in our libraries] and to meet Floyd through his work. On view in the main floor gallery is "prayer for creation", the latest installation by the curator.

-

Voyage through nine exhibit spaces from Tuesday to Saturday, 12 noon to 5:30pm. All areas require stairs to access.

Each theme is available for a limited time and we are excited to introduce “Heist at the Nine-Nine” in which players are transported to the 99th Precinct and only have 60 minutes to escape to win or they declare themselves losers of the heist!
