April 5 to May 31, 2025

Presented in collaboration with Jennifer Chrumka and the Climate Disaster Project.

Climate change is causing untold damage to lives and livelihoods in Kamloops and beyond. Too often, there has been a failure to tell the many human stories about climate disaster: from heat waves and floods to wildfires and droughts.  As a result, we can feel as if we are fragments on the frontlines of climate change, disconnected from one another’s experiences and sometimes even our own. This exhibition features the stories of nearly two dozen people across British Columbia who have lived through climate change and offer lessons of what’s to come. Their testimonies are based on reporting conducted by students from Thompson Rivers University participating in the Climate Disaster Project, an award-winning international teaching newsroom that works with disaster-impacted people to share their stories. Under the instruction of Jennifer Chrumka, these environmental journalism students co-created stories of survival, community and hope.

Honouring the Past, Celebrating the Present, Inspiring the Future

February 1 to March 29, 2025

Presented in Partnership with Hardley Williams and the Unique Get Together Society

This exhibition tells the story of Black history in Kamloops across generations. It honours the pioneers who paved the way, the leaders shaping today, and the youth who will carry the legacy forward.

Through art and storytelling, we celebrate resilience, culture, and community. Our history is still being written—together, we continue to make an impact.

Through a series of intergenerational collaborations, artists created these works to record narratives that honour the past and educate future generations on Black history in Kamloops.

Presented in collaboration with Early Childhood Educators of BC and Early Childhood Pedagogy Network

re:materia exhi’pit is a participatory artistic installation and exhibition space launched at the Early Childhood Educators of BC (ECEBC) Conference in May of 2024 as an invitation for early childhood educators and their allies across the province of BC to take up the difficult labour of disrupting the capitalist citizenship that supports the extractive cycle of consumption and waste production. The installation is hosted by the re:materia program, a partnership between the Early Childhood Pedagogy Network (ECPN) and ECEBC that invites early childhood educators to creatively and critically reimagine pedagogical processes and curriculum-making around waste.
