Come mek mi hole yuh han
Churchill Square
“Come mek mi hole yuh han” or “Come, let me hold your hand” is inspired by traditional Jamaican Maypole dancing, folk songs and costumes. It is a reunion with my childhood and the gift of learning with community, while acknowledging the gradual loss of traditional practices within the younger generation.

Out of Many, We Became One
The Westin Edmonton
A collection of pottery by Buddan ranging from 2019-2024. These works bloomed from the Artist’s interest in learning more about her ancestors through their art forms, hand-building pottery techniques and textiles. She fuses West African and Indian techniques and textile motifs to create hybridized self-portraits of her cultural identity.

Glimmers
Churchill Square
Glimmers encourage kids (and kids-at-heart) to discover small instants that spark joy. Embrace your child-like sense of wonder by crafting a magical world using pint-sized props. This kid-friendly activity highlights the benefits of glimmers—micro-moments of happiness. Requires no artistic skills, just a willingness to get creative and enhance emotional wellness.

Hidden Realms
City Hall
In Hidden Realms the drawing process reveals imaginary landscapes inspired by the confluence of technology within our environment. Repetitive mark-making acts as a meditation, immersing the artist and viewer in the moment and acknowledging the temporal nature of everything.
Instant Places
BellCurve
Churchill Square
BellCurve activates the City Hall carillon and plaza speakers with bell sequences and a text-based sound work. The piece is inspired by a dream-like story: "It's a hot summer in the late 60's, the one before Apollo 11. You're on your bike heading up the road to Star..."

Worlds of Resistance
Churchill Square
Three paintings cluster, revolving slowly. Installed on steel branches from a single vertical support they are powered by motors. Right now, millions of humans agitate the global status quo into streams of electro-magnetic energy affecting space/time. Spinning paintings re-present enormous public actions, for and by actual participants from diverse global communities.

Beastly Two-Eyed Festival See-er
Churchill Square
Previously loved pieces of wood have been chopped and reincarnated into a lookout where you can view the Works Festival. Wild Woods Bison are herbivores with eyes on the sides of their heads, living their lives through Two-Eyed Seeing. Introducing the Indigenous Lens this way reminds us to be conscious of our ecological footprints.

CANOPY sponsored by Stantec
Churchill Square
CANOPY represents an innovative approach to providing amenity for the public realm. Tree canopies typically provide natural beauty, filtered sunlight, and an area to relax. In dense, concrete environments that experience extreme heat as the climate changes, CANOPY provides shelter for the public to sit and appreciate art.

What Lies Beneath?
Don Wheaton Family YMCA
Genetics, history, media, perception. How are we influenced by phenomena and where are we beneath the surface of our existence? When is it really “us” and when is it extraneous? Can we truly sep-a-rate? Who are we and what are we?

Generations (2022) & Land and People (2024)
Churchill Square
My works are two pieces that complement each other with each capturing distinct and yet interconnected aspects of Edmonton's rich heritage and vibrant community. The piece titled Generations, 2022, focuses on the layers of history and the diverse communities that have shaped Edmonton. The piece, titled Land and People, 2024 celebrates the multicultural landscape of Edmonton.

Bridging Light and Time
Rice Howard Way Alley of Light
Photography involves bridging a variable gap, connecting light and time to take a photo. This is true in daylight and at night, when artificial light comes into play. Bridges in Edmonton are my photographic playground where I create unique images that allow light to appear both stationary and in motion.
Slovia
Tearing Into Art
Churchill Square
Slovia welcomes you to her world of mixed-media art. Together, we will create greeting cards using mixed-media collage. We will observe reference images, tear shapes from beautiful papers, glue them in place, then add depth and highlights to create your special brand of magic. Dive into the possibilities!

Cleaves
City Hall
Each painting in my exhibit Cleaves renders a significant concept in social justice theory. “Cleaves” is a semantic enigma that simultaneously means to sever and to adhere. Using the metaphor of a flower as proxy for people and embodied institutions, I express the divisions and cohesions of our global economies, intergenerational tensions, disabilities and prejudices while imagining hope and joy.

SUPERGARDEN
Churchill Square
Gigantic flowers are arranged together to form an eccentric garden from another world. The vivid blooms shrink viewers to the scale of insects as they approach the massive forms. Once the viewer has visited with the flower to satisfaction, they move along—carrying with them a lingering, floral memory, like sparkling dust on the antennae of a pollinator.
SJP Artists 4 Palestine
The Fruit of Resistance
Churchill Square
The watermelon has stood as a symbol for Palestine since the flag was first outlawed in 1967. The Fruit of Resistance is an all-ages art-build that speaks to Palestinian resistance and resilience, challenging the colonial violence of censorship and erasure. SJP Artists 4 Palestine invites you to stitch a felt watermelon pin of your own.
José Luis Torres
Trojan Horse
Churchill Square
Playfully and with a touch of irony, Trojan Horse gathers together an impressive number of colorful objects from our daily environments. The monumental work erected in the middle of the crowded square faces the visitor with notions of expansion and excess. This installation is seducing and playful while questioning our excessive tendency to consume.

We live in an unpredictable world that fosters a sense of powerlessness. Let’s explore this concept together through the act of collage. Contribute on the collective level to a collaborative piece or on the individual level with a small piece. Take back power by creating new and meaningful narratives from the chaos.
