What: “When This is Over” student art exhibition Who: Graduating artists in the Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Media Studies programs When: Saturday, April 23 to Friday, May 6; 10 am to 4 pm daily Where: Creative and Critical Studies Building, 1148 Research Road, UBC Okanagan Visual Arts students with UBC Okanagan’s Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) and Bachelor of Media Studies (BMS) programs host their annual graduation art exhibition this month. “When This is Over” runs from April 23 to May 6 on campus in the Creative and Critical Studies building, which will be transformed into an exhibition space. The show includes a wide variety of student artists who specialize in photography, sculpture, drawing, painting, digital media, interactive media, design, computational art and printmaking. Due to COVID-19, it has been a few years since the annual year-end event was held in person. Graduating BFA student Candice Hughes says the 2022 exhibit promises to be an exceptional display of what the department, and its many talented students, can produce. “After having the exhibition online for the last two years, we are so excited to be back in person to show our work,” says Hughes. “Working behind the scenes and setting up the space has been such a great learning experience. We are looking forward to bringing our work together, to share with the community, in this final show.” This is the first year UBCO’s media studies students are part of this annual exhibition, joining forces with the fine arts graduates to put the display together, explains Visual Arts Instructor Andreas Rutkauskas. “The show will feature 21 BFA artists and nine BMS students who have been working tirelessly to create a diverse, original and engaging body of work to highlight the best they have to offer,” says Rutkauskas. Media Studies Program Coordinator Megan Smith is excited her students are taking part in the long-time annual tradition at UBCO. “This is only our second graduating class of our media studies program, and the first year the students will be showcasing their work in the traditional year-end exhibition,” says Smith. “We are thrilled to be able to share the work of our students from this new program alongside our visual arts students.” The students are eager to showcase their work to the local community and Hughes says this is a great opportunity for people to meet the next generation of emerging artists who reside in and around the Okanagan. “When This is Over” is a free, public exhibit and is open to the public from April 23 to May 6 daily from 10 am to 4 pm.

As the academic year winds to a close, students at UBC’s Okanagan campus are completing final projects, experiments and prepping for exams.

For students in the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies (FCCS), this means completing all the painting, drawing, writing, sculpting, acting and other projects that will make up the 2022 Spring Festival.

The month-long event brings a myriad of events to campus and throughout the City of Kelowna. Many events are free and all are open to the public. Paid parking is available for the workshops and showcases happening on campus.

“The Spring Festival gives the community a glimpse of the exciting world of young and emerging artists while at the same time, building students’ understanding of their relationship, through their art, to their community. It’s a win for all concerned, and we’re so grateful for the support we received from our Presenting Sponsor—TD Bank Group, and additional community organizations,” says Creative Studies Department Head Denise Kenney.

The 2022 Spring Festival will feature events from across the many creative studies programs, with public readings from graduate students and faculty, live performances, art exhibitions and more.

The annual festival kicked off earlier this month with Art on the Line, a fundraiser and auction featuring works from students in the fine arts program, along with faculty, alumni and community members.

Many of the events will be offered with hybrid-attendance options—people can participate virtually in the 2022 Short Story Contest award ceremony on March 31 or the Annual Sharon Thesen Lecture which will be given by Creative Writing Professor Matt Rader this year on April 6.

The public is invited to campus to see what the students have been creating at the Masters of Fine Arts Studio Open House on March 30 at the new Innovation Place graduate maker space.

Graduating Bachelor of Fine Arts students will exhibit their work as part of the year-end show When This Is Over, a collection of sculpture, photography, drawing, painting and more. The opening reception for the exhibition takes place April 22.

If you’re exploring downtown Kelowna this spring, you can also see student and faculty work on the Art Walk between the Kelowna Art Gallery, downtown library, and the Rotary Centre for the Arts. These are just a few of the opportunities to see what FCCS has been growing. The public is welcome to attend all events and exhibits.

The full list of Spring Festival events, and details for each, can be found at: fccs.ok.ubc.ca/about/events-workshops/spring-festival.

The FCCS Spring Festival is sponsored by TD, the Rotary Centre for the Arts, the Lake Country Art Gallery, the Arts Council of the Central Okanagan and the City of Kelowna.

It was March 17, 2020, just on the heels of the World Health Organization declaring the as-yet-un-named virus a pandemic, that BC declared a state of emergency.

Schools were closed, offices shuttered, stores locked and people were sent home to face isolation, uncertainty and a looming sense of fear and bewilderment. And now Zoom calls, masks, vaccines and mandates have become part of everyday life across the country.

How has society coped? What has been learned? Has anything changed?

Toronto-based author Naben Ruthnum is spending two weeks this spring at UBC Okanagan as the next Writer in Residence.

While here, Ruthnum will read and provide feedback on manuscripts from local writers, host a public lecture and judge the many entries for the Okanagan Short Story Contest.

The goal of UBCO’s Writer in Residence program is to promote Canadian authors and literature to Okanagan residents and also provide budding writers the opportunity to receive feedback on their creative work, explains Nancy Holmes, Creative Writing Professor with the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies.

“This a great chance for emerging writers to connect with a highly successful professional writer,” says Holmes. “He knows about the current Canadian publishing and entertainment scene and will provide invaluable advice to people who want to get their work noticed out in the world. We are incredibly lucky to have him spend some time with us.”

Ruthnum is the author of Curry: Eating, Reading, and Race and the novel A Hero of Our Time. He has also penned two thrillers, Find You in the Dark and Your Life is Mine,under the name Nathan Ripley. His short fiction has won the Journey Prize and a National Magazine Award. He also writes for film and television and currently has projects in development with Oddfellows Entertainment.

Local writers of fiction, non-fiction or screenplays are invited to submit manuscripts for Ruthnum’s review and feedback. In his role as the 2022 Writer in Residence, he will meet with a select number of UBCO student and community writers who submit their work for critiquing.

Manuscripts must be submitted by Monday, March 7. Information about the specific requirements and how to submit an entry online can be found at: fccs.ok.ubc.ca/about/events-workshops/authors

Ruthnum will also host a public reading on March 29, from 7 to 9 pm in the Creative and Critical Studies Building’s FINA Gallery at UBC Okanagan. And as the judge of the Okanagan Short Story Contest, Ruthnum will announce the winners on March 31 at 7 pm at the downtown branch of the Okanagan Regional Library. Both events are free and open to the public.

What: Art on the Line gala and fundraiser Who: Local artists, Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies students and faculty When: Saturday, March 5 starting at 5:30 pm Where: Charles E. Fipke Centre, 3247 University Way, UBC’s Okanagan campus Cost: $200 per ticket (one ticket admits two people, and guarantees one piece of artwork) or day of entry admission for $20, $10 for students It’s back and in person. After a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19 restrictions, Art on the Line returns as an in-person event at UBC Okanagan. UBCO’s annual fine arts fundraiser is a lively event that has supported local visual arts students for 19 years, explains Abby Bloome, event co-organizer and a fourth-year Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) student. “We invite people to join us for an evening of fine art and face-to-face fun,” she says. “This is our chance to come together as a community and support our local artists. Art on the Line is an amazing event that gives students a chance to grow. And community members can collect one-of-a-kind pieces for their homes.” The event is co-sponsored by the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies (FCCS), in association with the Visual Arts Course Union. It is a black-tie gala evening where original works of art are raffled to guests. There are only 100 tickets sold for the chance to choose from the 150 works available in this one-of-a-kind juried art exhibition. Each piece of art has been donated by local artists, UBCO faculty and fine arts students. FCCS Visual Arts Instructor David James Doody is the emcee and evening host. He describes Art on the Line as a great opportunity to enjoy a beautiful selection of original art, fine food, refreshments and a touch of suspense. “I have been taking part in this event for almost 20 years when I began my BFA in 2002,” he recalls “I still remember as a young artist the first time my art was chosen. It was absolutely the coolest feeling ever. Art on the line is one of the most important exciting events in our students’ calendars.” Proceeds from the evening will help support a number of organizations including the Visual Arts Course Union, the 2022 BFA graduate exhibition and catalogue, the visiting artist program, fine arts student travel grants as well as local non-profit Cool Arts Society, which provides art opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities. Organizers are still collecting two-and three-dimensional artwork to be donated and raffled during the event. Local artists who are interested in supporting this fundraiser can email aotl2022@ubcovacu.org for a submission form and submission guidelines. Donations should be of suitable quality and equivalent to the auction ticket price. The event is planned to be in-person, but will also be live-streamed for those who cannot attend. If current public health measures change, this event will take place virtually. Tickets cost $200 for two people to enter and guarantees one piece of artwork. Tickets will also be available for people who would like to attend, but not bid on artwork; they will be at the door for $20 or $10 for students.

What: Rooted Sentiments Who: Exhibition featuring Maura Tamez, Cassandra Adjetey, Shimshon Obadia and Moozhan Ahmadzadegan. When: Friday, February 11 to Wednesday, February 23 Where: FINA Gallery, Creative and Critical Studies Building, 1148 Research Road, UBC Okanagan campus An art exhibition featuring the work of four Okanagan-based BIPOC artists—Maura Tamez, Cassandra Adjetey, Shimshon Obadia and Moozhan Ahmadzadegan—opens at UBC Okanagan’s campus next week. With support from UBC’s Equity Enhancement Fund and the Black Liquorice Studio, the artist collective presents its inaugural show Rooted Sentiments. The collective is founded by UBCO Master of Fine Arts student Michaela Bridgemohan as part of her ongoing work to create space for BIPOC artists. Rooted Sentiments invites viewers to consider the ways we make a home for ourselves, and the ways we invite or exclude others from doing the same, she explains. “I want to bring attention to the BIPOC artists living in the Okanagan who are students or alumni from UBCO,” she says. “While diverse in subject and medium, this work investigates the way an exploration of roots and intersections of identity can inform and create our sense of home—as a material reality, a network of relations and a place in the imagination.” While Bridgemohan did not plan the exhibition specifically around Black History Month, the timing of the show makes for a perfect connection in highlighting the work of all artists of colour in Kelowna. Bridgemohan understands too well the systemic barriers for BIPOC artists in Canada. In 2020, Canadian Art magazine reported on a research paper and audit, titled “Black Representation in Calgary’s Contemporary Art Scene,” which was co-authored by her along with Levin Ifko, Alicia Buates McKenzie and Uli Savage. Their research illuminated the systemic barriers to BIPOC artists in Calgary, and Canada more widely. While the submissions Bridgemohan received for Rooted Sentiments reflected a diversity of voices and experiences, she saw common threads too, noting some artists withdrew their submissions, thinking they were not good enough for public display. “This lack of confidence is symptomatic of a lack of representation, with many artists believing they are not worthy, not good enough. And this is upsetting,” she says. “All the work I saw was legitimate and gallery-ready. And it reflected a longing to be seen, not just as individuals, but also the conversations they were having.” The exhibition will be open in the Creative and Critical Studies Building’s FINA Gallery at UBC Okanagan from February 11 to 23, and open for viewing daily from 9 am to 4 pm, excluding weekends. To learn more about Rooted Sentiments, or Black Liquorice Studio’s next event at the Lake Country Gallery this September, contact Michaela Bridgemohan at blackliquoricestudio@gmail.com.

What: Fourth annual Life Raft Debate
Who: UBC professors debate to win a seat in a time machine and change history
When: Wednesday, January 26, beginning at 7 pm
Venue: Online, virtual event

Once again, UBC Okanagan professors are being called upon to share their expertise and help save the world. But this year, it involves going back in time to right the wrongs of humanity.

The annual Life Raft Debate is a fun way to showcase the talents of professors by using an “end-of-the-world” premise, explains Lyndsey Chesham, Society of Scholars Program Assistant and a fourth-year microbiology student. The professors must do their best to sway the audience to earn the last seat on the life raft. However, this year it’s a seat in a time machine.

“For this year’s debate, humans have made an irrevocable mistake leading to our demise,” Chesham says. “Our only option is an experimental time machine capable of sending someone on a one-way trip to the first known human civilization.”

The catch? There is only one seat in the time machine. Not only must the time traveller win the debate, they must—without any modern technology—be able to influence society to not make the same mistakes. It’s up to them to prevent the downfall of the human race.

“Our traveller must assert the importance of their discipline in order to lead the ancient society, fix the mistakes of the past, and lead us to a brighter, more promising future,” adds Chesham. “But we must also question if it is even worth sending anyone back at all. It’s up to our audience to decide who we send, or if we even bother.”

Competing for the chance to time travel include chemistry’s Dr. Tamara Freeman, creative writing’s Michael V. Smith, engineering’s Dr. Vicki Komisar, psychology’s Dr. Liane Gabora and management’s Tamara Ebl. Associate Dean of Research Dr. Dean Greg Garrard will play the role of devil’s advocate, suggesting no one deserves to go back in time.

After all the words are spoken, the audience—using Zoom technology—will decide if someone does go back and restart society. And who it will be.

“The Society of Scholars brought this student-led event to UBCO to give students a chance to get to know their professors through the scope of a light-hearted and fun event,” adds Chesham. “Our debaters get very passionate and it is wonderful to see the professors speak about their life’s work so enthusiastically.”

New this year will be opening remarks from UBC President Santa Ono and closing remarks from UBCO’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Principal Lesley Cormack.

The Life Raft Debate takes place Wednesday, January 26 at 7 pm. It is a free, virtual presentation and follows with a question and answer session. To register or find out more, visit: students.ok.ubc.ca/life-raft

Artwork from UBC Okanagan’s public art collection will be on display for the first time in Vernon, giving North Okanagan residents a sampling of the largest public art assemblies in the region.

The Ramble On exhibition, currently at the Vernon Public Art Gallery, presents a variety of artistic mediums—sculptures, paintings, prints and video artworks. The work on display has been created by a diverse roster of emerging and established artists including UBCO faculty, alumni, local Indigenous creators as well as international, figurative and abstract creators.

Ramble On is an exhibition of artworks from the UBCO’s public art collection which introduces some of the newest acquisitions including works by Judith Schwarz, Sheldon Louis, Tania Willard and Neil Cadger.

“We are excited to see some of the works from our collection out in the community,” says Dr. Stacey Koosel, curator of UBC Okanagan’s Art Gallery and the public art collection. “This is the first time works from our public art collection are being shown at the Vernon Public Art Gallery.”

Ramble On also features a few well-known Okanagan Indigenous artists.

“Our gallery’s mandate is to prioritize working with Indigenous contemporary artists. At the moment, Indigenous art is under-represented and only makes only seven per cent of the collection,” explains Dr. Koosel. “We’re hoping to improve this number in the coming years.”

Recent acquisitions featured in the exhibition include works by Syilx artists Sheldon Louis and David Wilson, and Secwepemc artist Tania Willard.

UBCO’s public art collection is one of the largest in the region, with a focus on Canadian contemporary art and the Okanagan’s emerging local artistry, says Dr. Koosel. Artwork comes to the collection primarily through donations.

“This exhibition is also the first chance for the public to see brand new works, such as Louis’s cax̌alqs (red dress) and a new acquisition by Judith Shwarz, Grid and Grid II, which just arrived from Toronto this year,” she says.

The exhibition was inspired by UBC Okanagan alumnus Clinton McDougall’s wooden sculpture of a car tire entitled Reinvention (2005). The tread on the tire forms a pattern based on the utilitarian principle of adding grip or traction to move forward. All the works in the exhibition continue this theme using patterns, grids or repetition.

Ramble On includes work by nine artists: Moozhan Ahmadzadegan, Neil Cadger, Sheldon Pierre Louis, Takesada Matsutani, Clinton McDougall, Ida Shōichi, Judith Shwarz, David Wilson and Tania Willard.

A public reception takes place at the Vernon Public Art Gallery on January 20 from 6 to 8 pm, celebrating the opening of four new exhibits at the gallery, including a solo show by UBCO fine arts alumna Coralee Miller. Ramble On runs until March 9.

“This exhibition, with work created anytime between 1968 to 2021, will provide visitors with insight towards a variety of different artists, their practices and the various media used to create their thought-provoking, insightful works,” adds Dr. Koosel

Emerging writers are urged to submit their entries for the annual Okanagan Short Story Contest.

This year marks the 24^th year of the contest, which has a long tradition of introducing budding writers to the Okanagan community. Previous winners have gone on to publish with Penguin Random House, Arsenal Pulp Press, NeWest Press, as well as numerous national and international magazines and journals.

Entries are open to fiction writers in the southern interior of British Columbia in a region stretching east of Hope, west of the Alberta border, north of the US border and south of Williams Lake.

“The annual short story contest is one way for developing writers to gain their foothold in the literary world. I’ve seen winners of story prizes use them to find literary agents and book deals,” says Kevin Chong, author and creative writing professor in UBCO’s Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies (FCCS).

The entries must be original stories, between 1,000 and 4,000 words, and writers are welcome to submit as many as they choose. There is a $20 entry fee for each story but no charge for students in the high school category. All proceeds will go towards FCCS creative writing scholarships for UBC Okanagan students.

FCCS is offering cash prizes to writers of the top three stories—$1,000, $400 and $200. The first prize winner also wins a one-week retreat at The Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre in Kelowna. And the top short story by a high school student receives a $200 prize.

Entries must be received by 11:59 pm on Friday, January 31, 2022.

All stories will be judged by UBCO creative writing faculty as well as celebrated novelist, critic and screenwriter Naben Ruthnum.

Ruthnum is a Mauritian-Canadian author with a master’s degree from McGill University. Now living in Toronto, he was raised in Kelowna and won the Journey Prize in 2013 for his short story “Cinema Rex.” He’s since published Curry: Reading, Eating and Race, a collection of non-fiction essays exploring immigrant experience and identity through food and literature. His thriller novel Find You in the Dark, was published under his pseudonym Nathan Ripley. His newest work, A Hero of Our Time, will be published in January 2022.

Winners of the short story contest will be announced in March at a public event where short-listed authors will be invited to read from their work. For a full list of contest details and rules, visit fccs.ok.ubc.ca/short-story

What: Public Reading with Ian Williams
Who: UBCO’s Kevin Chong with guest author Ian Williams
When: November 17 at 7 pm PST
Venue: Live via Zoom

UBC Okanagan is hosting Scotiabank Giller prize winner Ian Williams in an evening of open discussion and a reading from his latest work.

The distinguished author of fiction, nonfiction and poetry is hosted by UBCO’s Anti-Racist Reading Book Club and Kevin Chong, assistant professor of creative writing. Earlier this month, members of the club read Williams’ latest work Disorientation and met to discuss the book prior to this public event.

“An important part of antiracist action is education,” says Chong. “A book like Disorientation allows us to step into the mind of a racialized writer as he grapples, brilliantly, with politics, identity and Blackness.”

The public is welcome to join readers, writers and creative writing students from both UBC campuses to discuss the ways writing and race intersect. Participants will have the opportunity to have an elevated discussion with both Williams and Chong.

This event is partially funded by the UBC Anti-Racism Initiatives Fund and UBCO’s Creative Studies department. Participants will hear Williams’ perspective on how reading and creative writing are affected by racism.

Disorientation examines the role that racism plays in the daily life of ordinary people. Williams’ earlier novel, Reproduction, won the Scotiabank Giller Prize and has received international acclaim.

His collection of poetry, Word Problems, uses the language of mathematics and grammar problems to discuss prevalent ethical and political issues. The collection won the Raymond Souster Award, and his previous collection Personals was shortlisted for the Griffin Poetry Prize and the Robert Kroetsch Poetry Book Award. Not Anyone’s Anything, a short story collection published in 2011, won the Danuta Gleed Literary Award for the best first collection of short fiction in Canada.

Chong, the author of six books of fiction and nonfiction, most recently the novel The Plague, will host the reading series.
