🎉🌍 BIG NEWS! 🌍🎉

We’re thrilled to announce that Onsite Gallery was awarded the Artistic Creation Grant from the Canada Council for the Arts | Conseil des arts du Canada to support Metipso World: Connect!, coming to Onsite Gallery in 2027! 🚀✨

🌐💫 Art. Technology. Connection. Across borders.

Developed by the Metipso Portal Collective and curated by Lisa Deanne Smith, Metipso World: Connect! is a multi-site, immersive media-arts installation featuring live broadcasts and real-time experimentation.

The Metipso Portal Collective’s three core members are Canadians Joel Richardson and Susan de Freitas and Kenyan Mathew Birir.

🇨🇦🤝🏾🇰🇪 Connecting Canada and Kenya, the project brings artists and communities together through collaborative artmaking and technological exchange—creating new ways to connect, share, and imagine together.

🌱💻 At its heart, the exhibition asks how art and technology can help us build stronger connections while engaging with urgent questions around cultural polarization, community, and the protection of our natural environments.

We’re so excited to bring this project to Onsite Gallery and can’t wait to share more with you! 💜

2027, here we come! 🎉🌍✨

✨Yesterday at Onsite Gallery! ✨

Thank you to everyone who joined us for 'Women of Wampum,' a lecture and workshop led by artist Katsitsakatste Lindsay Delaronde 💜🌿

As part of the public programming for the Canada Pavilion exhibition "Skennen'kó ken? (Do You Carry Great Peace?)" currently on view at the 2026 Gwangju Biennale in Korea, we gathered for a meaningful afternoon of learning, reflection, and connection through Haudenosaunee teachings and knowledge. 🌎

Delaronde shared teachings on the enduring roles of Haudenosaunee women as spiritual leaders, knowledge keepers, and architects of peace, drawing from Sky World, the Creation Story, the Great Law of Peace, and the Peacemaker narrative.

Together, we reflected on how these teachings continue to shape understandings of governance, balance, reciprocity, relational accountability, and collective responsibility. 🤝🏽🌱

A heartfelt thank you to Lindsay for sharing her knowledge and teachings, and to everyone who joined us and contributed to such a thoughtful and meaningful gathering! 💫

📸 Thank you to everyone who helped make the afternoon so special!
