  FASTWÜRMS

  #VOLCANO_LOV3R

  Paul Petro Contemporary Art

  Based in the territory of Treaty 18, FASTWÜRMS’ witch queer #VOLCANO_LOV3R is a primordial geo-queer liberation narrative, the super-heated witchcraft of “‘many and more," the vulcanology and libidinal economy of abundance, reciprocity, and generosity. #VOLCANO_LOV3R is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Mukwe Dodem (I Am Bear Clan) by Michel Dumont, a queer, two-spirit, Métis artist from the Robinson-Superior Treaty area.

  Marlene Creates

  Between the Earth and the Firmament: Variations on a Theme, Newfoundland 2015–2022

  Paul Petro Contemporary Art

  This exhibition brings together a selection of photographic works by Newfoundland artist Marlene Creates, depicting connections between terrestrial and celestial natural phenomena—the link between them sometimes direct, sometimes possible, and sometimes poetic. Referencing celestial events through terrestrial images and text, the artist invites us to question the role of artistic authorship in the documentation of the natural world.
