Healthy Workplace and Carleton University Art Gallery are absolutely delighted to collaborate on two exhibitions-based workshops for staff and faculty.
October: Joi T. Arcand: The Shape of Words
Date: October 29, 2026
Time: 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Join us for a brief tour of Joi T. Arcand’s kā-isinākwahki itwēwina: The Shape of Words, exploring how language, place and imagination can shape the worlds around us. Inspired by Arcand’s vision of an alternate present, we’ll then create our own collage cities, imagining the places, spaces and details that make a city feel like home.
November: Faisa Omer: Threading Roots
Date: November 26, 2026
Time: 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Join us for a brief tour of Faisa Omer’s Threading Roots, exploring how textiles, memory, family histories and cultural practices can shape our sense of identity and belonging. Inspired by Omer’s use of fabric and textile as a way of carrying stories across generations and places, we’ll create our own colourful yarn wall-hangings, weaving together materials, textures and personal meaning.
