If I Can't Dance To It, It's Not My Revolution: Virtual* Juried Youth Exhibition
to
Oxygen Art Centre 3-320 Vernon St, Enter from Alley, Nelson, British Columbia V1L 4B7
Oxygen Art Centre presents the virtual exhibition, If I Can’t Dance To It, It’s Not My Revolution featuring five young, emerging artists: Josh Franklin, Meadow Kroeger, Spencer Legebokoff, Katherine Mackay, and Bethany Pardoe.
Selected by jurors Marilyn Lee and Ian Johnston, the group exhibition addresses urgent social catastrophes through the form of a virtual exhibition, launching Friday, April 24, 2020. The virtual exhibition is open to the public as a response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, while also celebrating young artists working today and the need for cultural engagement.
The group exhibition’s title is in part derived from a similar phrase by feminist anarchist and writer, Emma Goldman (1869-1940), and further appropriated by Toronto-based band, DOOMSQUAD on their album, “Let Yourself Be Seen” (2019). If I Can’t Dance To It, It’s Not My Revolution invokes the hope and horror of the contemporary moment. For significant social change to be effective it needs to engage the creative cortex, one that includes both the mind and the heart.
