SUMMARY:Nuit Blanche 2024: Love Across Distance
DESCRIPTION:For Nuit Blanche 2024 an installation piece titled Love Across Distance will be presented at The ArQuives. \nLong distance relationships are a reality for many LGBTQ2+ individuals\, particularly in remote areas of Canada\, as online technology now allows many people to connect with others across geographic distances. \nThe installation offers a sense of experiencing love despite a geographic distance from a romantic partner. Social media\, dating apps and online dating have made it possible for people of all backgrounds\, genders and orientations to meet and connect\, despite geographic distance. But how are the sensorial experiences of love and intimacy experienced? Is it possible to truly feel sensations\, to develop trust and learn about one another if technology\, video and sound are the only methods of communication while apart? \nUsing a combination of sound and infrared technology\, this interactive installation allows audiences to ponder these questions\, while considering\, is it possible to experience true love across distance? The installation piece features two interactive stations with a representation of a partner or lover\, visible in one of the windows of our heritage house. Particularly for LGBTQ2+ people in remote parts of Canada\, meeting lovers or romantic partners may only be possible through technology\, sometimes across great distances. \nJordan King is a Canadian multi-disciplinary artist\, performer and writer. Her practice is rooted in performance\, archival research and intergenerational dialogue. Jordan’s work is generative\, intersectional\, and exploratory. \nNathan Bruce is a projection and lighting designer working in theatre and interactive installation. He is a Bachelors of Fine Arts Graduate of York University (2020) in Theatre Production & Design\, with an extensive and rapidly expanding resume. \nJordan and Nathan have co-designed the interactive installation for “Love Across Distance”. \nRead an interview with the artists \nVisit the official Nuit Blanche listing

SUMMARY:Of Kin and Other Impossible Homes
DESCRIPTION:Building home is an act of defiance in a world that has not made space for it. For many trans and gender-diverse individuals Asians across the Asian diaspora\, kinship has been created in the absence of precedent\, forming beyond traditional structures of belonging. Of Kin and Other Impossible Homes traces these histories of care and connection through personal narratives\, photographs\, and archival materials. By weaving together past and present\, this exhibition honours the ways queer kinship reshapes what home can be\, even in the most unlikely places. \nCurated by Jae Kim and The ArQuives Curatorial Committee. \nPlease join us for an opening reception of Of Kin and Other Impossible Homes on May 29th from 6-8 pm. \nExhibitions runs May 29th – July 11th\, 2025. \nOpen to the public:Fridays 4:00 pm – 8:00 pmSaturdays 11:00 am – 3:00 pmSundays 11:00 am – 3:00 pm \nThe exhibit is closed on Saturday\, June 28th and Sunday\, June 29th.

SUMMARY:Community Ties Online Session (Thurs.\, 12 June)
DESCRIPTION:Help Shape the Future of The ArQuives\nThe ArQuives is gearing up for an exciting new chapter and we want you to be part of it! With support from Women and Gender Equality Canada\, we launched Community Ties: Our Future Together\, an initiative to strengthen our organization and expand our impact across Canada. \nIn February and March\, we conducted in-person community conversations in 12 cities across Canada\, and now we’re hoping to reach more folks from around the country through our online national survey and community conversations\, and one-on-one interviews that will be scheduled individually with participants. \n\nRegister for an online community conversation:\n\nThursday\, June 12 from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM EST (in English)\nFriday\, June 13 from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM EST (in English)\nSunday\, June 15 from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM EST (in English)\nSaturday\, June 14 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 PM EST (in French)\n\n\nRegister for a one-on-one interview (to be scheduled individually)\n\nPlease note that spaces and honoraria for our online community conversations and one-on-one interviews are limited. This brief questionnaire is designed to help us prepare for each session. Please share these links with others in your community\, especially those from historically marginalized communities. \nWe especially want to hear from: \n\nLGBTQ2+ community members who already are or might be interested in our programming;\nresearchers\, academics\, and media who already or might use The ArQuives’ collections in their work; and\npartner organizations\, including libraries\, archives\, museums\, arts and heritage organizations\, cultural institutions\, and other LGBTQ2+ organizations.\n\nThe ArQuives values diversity and is committed to addressing historical inequities within our organization. We would love to hear from LGBTQ2+ communities that have been systematically marginalized\, including from rural communities and those who are Indigenous\, women\, trans\, nonbinary\, gender non-conforming\, Black\, people of colour\, newcomers\, and persons with disabilities. \nThanks for your assistance and collaboration! Your insights will be crucial in building a stronger\, more connected future for The ArQuives and the communities we serve. \nIf you have any questions or want to chat more about the project\, please reach out to Nico Mara-McKay at projectcoordinator@arquives.ca.
