SUMMARY:Fermata: Charcoal drawings by Liz Charsley
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours Tuesday to Sunday\, 11 am to 5 pm\nOpening reception Tuesday\, March 31\, 5-8 pm \nFermata is a musical term meaning a pause of unspecified length. For Liz\, who sings with the choir Ensemble Laude\, a walk in the woods or along a beach can deliver a visual fermata\, caused by light glancing through the trees or bouncing off the water. Her charcoal drawings\, many of them rich in detail\, capture these moments\, preserving them in the dreamy stillness of soft monochrome. \nLiz studied art and theatre at UVIc before moving to London\, UK\, where she worked as a theatrical propmaker for many years. The long hours and drafty workshops took their toll\, eventually\, and Liz went back to her art practice and did an MA in Drawing at Camberwell College of Art. Liz joined a burgeoning art group\, South London Women Artists\, exhibiting with them for 10 years\, and was appointed Artist in Residence at Dulwich Picture Gallery in south London for their Painting Canada exhibition. \nMoving back to Canada in 2020\, spending the covid years in Calgary\, then back to her original home of Victoria\, Liz rekindled her joy of the wild outdoors in the forests and wild coastlines near the city\, from which she draws inspiration for her work.

SUMMARY:Tea Creek // A free film about Indigenous food sovereignty in Victoria
DESCRIPTION:(Please note venue has changed to Ambrosia Banquet & Event Centre at 638 Fisgard St! After selling out in 10 hours\, we have switched to a venue across the street to accommodate a larger audience.) \nPlease register for this free documentary film screening. Everyone is welcome but space is limited so register early!

This event is brought to you by Victoria Urban Food Table\, and the City of Victoria. \nIn three short years\, Indigenous food sovereignty activist Jacob Beaton has transformed his family farm into Tea Creek\, an Indigenous Food Sovereignty training center with a mission to revive the abundance that once defined Turtle Island. Tea Creek works to rediscover and reveal the Indigenous expertise that historically outperformed colonial agriculture practices… until that knowledge was erased by colonial systems and residential schools. Now\, we follow Tea Creek as they reintegrate traditional agricultural knowledge through the growing season\, and resist the ongoing impacts of colonization\, led by a passionate leader with a vision for change\, healing and abundance.
