Introducing the DARC Social Club, open to all our active members. Social Club is a safe space for members to socialize, vent, or simply just exist. Artists often are stressed with juggling multiple jobs/gigs, trying to find that next big idea, or just the pressure to create and learn while building your career. Enter the DARC Social Club, a safe space for artists to hang out, chat, make friends, and relax. This is a place for artists to talk to like-minded creatives and exhale all the outside noise.
Digital Arts Resource Centre is proud to present “(re)collections of imagination,” a screening and artist talk featuring Palestinian – Egyptian filmmaker Nada El-Omari. Constantly exploring new ways of self-narration, the Montreal-based artist will present and discuss her recent experimental short films, which are deeply informed by intergenerational memories, displacement and belonging.
DARC is proud to present My Indian Name for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
My “Indian” Name is a one-hour documentary that takes a look at how having their traditional names stripped away from them has impacted Indigenous peoples. Without their original names, people are often left trying to find how they fit in this world. Luckily today, steps are being taken to reclaim their basic right to their true names.
DARC is proud to present SGaawaay K’uuna (Edge of The Knife) for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Set in the 19th century, the film tells the story of Adiits’ii who, following a tragedy, transforms into Gaagiixid – “the Wildman.” SGaawaay K’uuna is the first feature film made in the endangered Haida language.
Join us for an exceptional evening with Hannah Ranger, DARC’s Expanded Practice artist in residence, as she explores how new technology can enhance the visceral experience of felted artwork. Hannah will share insights from her residency and discuss the evolution of her project.
