As part of the eighth edition of the Indigenous Contemporary Art Biennial, this exhibition brings together a wide breadth of Indigenous and diasporic artists whose work explores cultural survival, spiritual continuity, and embodied knowledge within their contexts shaped by colonial borders, displacement, and erasure. An ancestral tattooing performance by Megan Samms, Dion Kaszas, and Dr. Mel Lefebvre will take place as part of the reception.

Training event at the end of a day-long event focused on learning various skills. The space is behind the main building so you need to walk outside to the left of the main building that faces the street until you see the sign for 'Recyborg'. This event will be similar to the other ones but it would be helpful to brush up on your skills before our spring campaign begins even if you've come before. This may be the last one before we begin doing the real grafting in May. There will be regular meetups throughout May and June but the plan is for none of them to be focused on learning how to do the technique, discussing the concept of guerrilla grafting, the reasons for doing it, etc. Having said that, if you fail to come to even a single training event, you are still welcome at the events in May and June.

Many, Many Machine Agencies' Writing Workshop. AI Chantier of the Hexagram Network brings together maker-thinkers whose work spans machine learning, interaction design, and experience design, to create a community of practice through a publication process. Prompting potential contributors with an unusual format, Many, Many Machine Agencies asks for recipes, instructions, or games that centre the problem of agency and interaction and the importance of new kinds of encounters with machines. This edited collection is indeed a kind of a cookbook for engaging critically with machines, and as such, we take inspiration from celebrated cookbook authors, like MFK Fisher, who provide recipes and instructions for dishes, while embedding them in a broader biographical and cultural narrative. This cookout session invites contributors to the AI Chantier publication drive to: Learn more about the recipe methodology and its relevance for engaging with machine agencies and AI, To talk about their writing project (share ingredients) and get feedback, Get a clearer picture about what the publishing process will look like. Prospective authors and those curious about the project are invited to participate. This activity is produced in collaboration with Machine Agencies and Milieux Institute's Speculative Life Cluster as part of the 2026 Interdisciplinary Encounters.
