Call for applications - New Caregiver Residency

Residency Dates: November 18-25, 2024
Residency Location: Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts
Deadline to apply: October 7, 2024

Inspired by Cove Park’s (Scotland) Creative Residencies for Carers, this new program is a respite residency for artists to work on their practice away from those they care for. There will be no expectation of production. The focus of this residency is for reading, thinking, research, and production in a communal studio setting.

This residency is for those with a creative practice (now or in the past). The programme will mostly consist of unstructured time in the studio, but will also provide opportunities for collective group discussion and/or workshops in response to the interests of the group.

Applicants must be 18 years and over and be an unpaid carer for an adult friend or family member. As the artists will be living on site for the week, this residency is most appropriate for those who are not the sole caregiver, or for those who have support in place to replace their caregiving responsibilities for the week. Artist’s who have recently but are no longer caring for another adult may also apply.

Fee to attend is $750 +HST. MOTHRA is currently we are waiting to hear about micro-funding to help off-set the costs of this programme for participants.

Residencies at Gibraltar Point are self-catering. The programme fee covers facilitation, transport from the Island ferry dock to Gibraltar Point and back, private accommodation with shared toilet and shower facilities, and shared studios.

Travelling to the island this month? Stop by Gibraltar Point’s Mini Gallery to view recent work by Sara Maston .maston. This installation features a new project by Véronique Sunatori .suna and SK Maston, a post-apocalyptic narrative film that chronicles a day in the life of Vyk, in 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙚: 𝘽𝙤𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝘾𝙤𝙘𝙤𝙤𝙣.

Sara Maston is an interdisciplinary artist who explores the vantage point of animals such as insects, single-celled organisms, domestic horses, birds and rodents. Her work takes the form of ceramics, paintings, and textile installations to articulate parallel lifeworlds that are indicative of a distant ancestor’s sense of physicality or distinct rhythm of nature. Maston holds an MFA from York University and is pursuing a degree in Information Science at UofT to develop methods of archiving and mediating ephemeral nonhuman animal knowledge. Additionally, she is a member of the Asian-pop-girl-band-artist-collective XVK, founded by Maston, Xuan Ye, and Veronique Sunatori.

Welcome to Winter Island 2023, Jedidiah Mugarura ()!

Jedidiah is a storyteller born and raised in Kampala, Uganda. He comes from a community of people, the Banyankore, who are very expressive through dance, song, and oral traditions. When he sits down to write, there is usually folk music from Nkore or the Kitara region playing in the background. From a first draft – often written with pencil, his writing shifts to the laptop for subsequent drafts.

During the Winter Island residency, Mugarura will be completing and revising a book-length poem. The narrative, set in present day rural Uganda after a hailstorm brings down a banana plantation, is a series of verses sang between a banana plantation pit digger and a cattle herder. The poem contends with themes of love, climate change, and religious hypocrisy.

03/20/2023

Atanas Bozdarov () is an artist and designer whose recent projects have explored structures and systems of accessibility; unnoticed conditions of disability and design; and architectural propositions for public space. Atanas is a participant of the 2023 Winter Island Artist-in-Residence Program!

" Incorporating sculpture, photography, and graphic design, my practice is concerned with
exploring the function, use, and uselessness of art and design objects to reveal failures of
structures and systems. An ongoing series of objects that resemble access ramps borrows
strategies from critical design to examine accessible and inaccessible architectural structures
and the extent to which accessibility devices exist and serve their purpose.

Making uselessness apparent in faulty design, absurd material choices, and incomplete construction, the objects’ makeshift construction speaks of urgency, while the absence of viable functionality calls attention to the failure of ramps as a minimal solution."

Environmental scientist and artist Gordon Brent Brochu-Ingram () has begun the 2023 Winter Island Artist-in-Residence program!

Educated in photography (BFA San Francisco Art Institute), digital, environmental and public art (PhD University of California College of Environmental Design) - Gordon works in a range of two and three-dimensional practices combining multimedia with outdoor and indoor, site-based works and performance -- along with field research and archives.

"As a Métis environmental designer and artist, with roots in northern BC while growing up in a W̱SÁNEĆ (Salish) community near Victoria, I experiment with inter-cultural conversations around land, Indigenous ecological legacies, and contemporary Indigenous visual languages often in contested public space.

Based on ĆUÁN (Salt Spring Island) near where I grew up, I work in small collaboratives of artists and scientists on projects spanning traditional Indigenous knowledge, environmental science, and contemporary design and multimedia. With support from the Canada Council and the First Peoples' Cultural Council, I am currently creating sculptures that are homages to Métis and Cree basket weaving used as scaffolding for projection of audio and video storytelling related to growing up as an Indigenous person in absurd intercultural tensions."

Welcome to Winter Island, Gordon!

We're excited to announce Filipina-Canadian artist, writer and organizer Juliane Foronda as a participant in the 2023 Witner Island Artist-In-Residence Program!

Juliane's work is invested in radical care, feminist hospitality, and traditions of gathering. Her practice is marked with an investment in the relationship between architecture/space and emotion, focusing on how domestic practices shape our understanding in cultural, societal and political ways with their ability to preserve and decolonize.

Predominantly through object, intervention, and text, she's influenced by (found and fabricated) structures, built environments, and hidden labour. Her work negotiates how these notions play with the tension between reality and possibility, truth and imagination, and knowing and not knowing.

Mixed media textile artist Anélia Victor () is a participant in the 2023 Winter Island Artist-in-Residence Program!

Anélia creats art pieces with used and new textiles as a primary material - alongside mixed media such as plants, flowers, natural dyes, discarded food and more. Their work revisits methods and discourses from the past to innovate a new trajectory for the future and to give life through texture and feel. They rely on the act of re/membering; talking and feeling the body in the present about the past and the connections to self and others.

Anélia's work seeks to explore the depths of their own identity and culture to tell stories that have been forgotten or tucked away. Their founding themes are identity, herbalism and Africanfuturism with a focus on Black and Q***r Histories, Caribbean textile history, textile sustainability and food cultivation and access from farming to cooking.

Welcome to Winter Island, Anélia!

We are thrilled to welcome Sadia Awan to the Winter Island 2023 Artist in Residence program!

Sadia (they/ them) is a q***r transdisciplinary artist whose practice traverses many realms, including the physical, the virtual, and the energetic. Their experimentations seek to articulate the enmeshment of internal phenomena with the tempo-spatial reality through video, installation, and sound.

Sadia recently presented an installation at Nuit Blanche TO exploring chimeric hybridization between the Self and the space it occupies. Visitors were encouraged to use their body as a navigational tool within the interactive multi-media projections. This cyborgian embodiment in an emancipatory digitized dimension highlighted the value in blending borders of defined categories.

During their time on the Islands, Sadia will delve into themes of hybridization, immanence, and fractals. They intend to document and evaluate environmental data using sound and the moving image. Much of visible reality remains obscured from us because our brains can only compute so much. In harnessing the computational power of synthesizers to process field recordings, Sadia aims to extend perceptual limitations beyond biological capacities.

Calling all painters and those who work in the expanded field of paint (sculpture, installation, performance, and site responsive work)!

Apply now for 'i made it through the wilderness', a two-week visual arts residency led by painter Lisa Cristinzo (). This residency is for artists creating work about and within landscape and who wish to spend time contemplating what it means to be an artist at this point in our climate history.

'i made it through the wilderness' will be examine the importance of landscape art in the context of the deforestation of 85% of the world’s forests, uncontrollable wildfires, and catastrophic climate hazards that disproportionately affect the most vulnerable.

This residency is an attempt to collectively understand more deeply through the practice of art the vibrancy and agency of the world around us. Although the theme of the residency sounds somber, participants will be encouraged to access this knowledge through gratitude, play, and emergent experiences in co-authorship with the site and with each other. There will be a full program of guest artists, studio visits, studio time, time outside and fireside chats.

Rolling applications for MOTHRA: Artist-Parent Residency are open! In 2023 MOTHRA will be offering four artist-parent, child-inclusive, artist residencies.

'MOTHRA is interested in bringing together the parent child relationship in the artist residency setting, not separating the child from the adult for art making purposes. The children are why this project exists, and we want to include them as contributors.

Our main questions: How does art practice change when we admit to these relationships in our lives? Particularly the parent/child relationship? And, Why do we continue to accept modes of professionalism that deny these relationships?

MOTHRA are looking for artists who have worked with or alongside their child(ren), or who want to try this, and who are willing to experiment. This is a chance to work these things out in practice.

Program Dates: March 13 – 20, July 4 – 17, September 18 – 25, November 13 – 20

Artists, heads up! Applications for Winter Island 2023 close this Sunday, December 11 2022 at 11:59pm!

The program is a unique, juried artist-in-residence program aimed at emerging, mid-career and established artists focused on community-engaged art. The program offers options for two weeks or a month-long residency.

For Winter Island 2022, Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky installed 'The Guest's Shadow'. 'The Guest’s Shadow' is a travelling, evolving installation combining the intimate, offhand format of a picnic with the communal, parodic and carnivalesque spirit of lantern festivals. ⁣
⁣
The Guest’s Shadow installations appear to be picnics left out in the night, made dream-like by virtue of a gentle light emitting from the objects laid out on the gingham cloth. The food in the picnic is a collection of handmade paper lanterns, produced by the artists by photographing food items, then printing the images and folding them into three-dimensional shapes holding reusable led lights. ⁣
⁣
Staged in various locations across Toronto in 2021 and 2022, the picnic has grown with each event, as lanterns were added by visitors.

Join us at on the Island, in a distraction-free environment - designed to support you in the development of a new work that engages and activates the local artist community.

It was incredible to host Blue Rock Collective during Winter Island 2022. During their amazing workshop, folks from the community spent a beautiful Saturday afternoon weaving nests that were eventually combined to form a larger nest sculpture, 'Human kind, Forest Mind'. This piece lives on the grounds of Artscape Gibraltar Point.

“Each nest woven by community members is unique and contributes to the whole; each becomes dependent on the other, integrated into an installation. Nests embody the fostering of new life in the shape an infinite circle, a union”⁣
