FILM 379 is taught by

“Prosthetics of Care”, by Andrea Malus is currently on view on the Art and Media Lab.

“The installation invites participants to contemplate how material surrogates can take on roles of comfort and grounding, prompting reflection on the blurred boundaries between support, simulation, and the longing for connection.”

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ✨

Annual Juried Exhibition: Mending Ways

🧵 Apply by March 1, 2026

Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre invites members to submit work for our Annual Juried Exhibition, a group show exploring mending as repair, care, and reconnection.

Mending asks for attention, vulnerability, and embodiment. It can be collaborative, reciprocal, and deeply political. In a world shaped by division and conflict, how do we mend our relationships, cultures, societies—and ourselves? Mending Ways brings together works that reflect on how we repair and what repair makes possible.

We welcome submissions across a wide range of media: video, sound, painting, photography, textiles, sculpture, writing, zines, prints, performance, and more. If it can live in a gallery, it can be submitted. Small-scale site-specific installations and murals are also encouraged.

🗓 Exhibition Dates: May 16th – July 18th, 2026
📍 Main Gallery
