RETRACED is an interdisciplinary exhibition that traces the migration of the Takeda and Kamo families across Canada through site-specific portraits and short performance recordings. These works were created in locations tied to dancer Kate Kamo McHugh’s family history of forced removal, relocation, and rebuilding.

Documented by photographer Colin Boyd Shafer (Cosmopolis Toronto), the images and videos form a layered visual archive where body, land, and cultural memory intersect.

1:14am by

In the Northwest Territories, the sun lingers past midnight and a loon drifts across a mirrored lake. The stitched clock fixes the moment — 1:14am — when time seemed to pause.

Rooted in memory and legend, the image suggests that a loon carries wishes into being, reminding us of the wonder held between night and day.

Change of Plans -
In this photo series by Kristofer Sakamoto-Marshall branches and trunks become sculptural forms emerging from Northern Ontario’s waters.

The work draws on (solitude) and shinrin-yoku (forest bathing), inviting quiet reflection. Rooted in wabi-sabi, these weathered fragments embody impermanence, resilience, and the beauty of transformation.

“5 Yents” by .art

Not nickel, not yen — but something in between, a hybrid emblem that questions what we value, what we carry, and what we inherit.
A coin that can’t be spent, only remembered.
