HEBREW SPELLED BACKWARDS (תירִבעִ)

Lindsey Tyne Johnson

Open Gallery
January 21 to April 1, 2023

In her exhibition, Hebrew Spelled Backwards, Lindsey Tyne Johnson examines the complexities of identifying as Jewish and the fear and uncertainty that often come with it. Through a combination of modern, spiritual, and Jewish themes, Johnson explores discovering one's ancestry later in life and its connection to familiar experiences and art. By challenging people to learn more about cultures they may not understand, Johnson aims to create a space for dialogue and inclusivity.

WITH THE GATHERING TREE

Open Gallery
October 1 to December 31, 2022

This exhibition narrates children's dialogues with a 50-year-old maple tree located in the middle of the playground in an early childhood education centre in Kamloops. Drawing and dialoguing in the company of the maple tree, children reimagine their relations with the world and its inhabitants. 

Through carefully crafted pedagogical propositions, educators and pedagogist invite children to invent ethical relations with plant companions as they collectively gather around the maple tree. In this way, following slow educational processes, they extend the usual focus on facts and science, and invite children to imagine other possibilities for relating to the world. As the documentation shows, ploddingly, the tree and its companions become central protagonists in children’s relations with the world.
