Whisperers of Chaos is an exploration of the delicate interplay between order and chaos, as well as the lingering echoes of childhood nostalgia. 

Drawing from her own childhood experiences, Lana Yuan navigates the decayed and abandoned spaces where her imagination once thrived. These spaces, now standing as metaphors for the untouched facets of the psyche, reflect the transient nature of human existence and the shifting socio-political dynamics of urban environments. Through the use of plaster, found objects, and steel tubes, each sculpture encapsulates the essence of these forgotten places. Each piece serves as a vessel for uncovering hidden narratives, revealing the inherent beauty that lies within vulnerability and disorder.

Invisible is a photographic visual essay by Helio Eudoro. Through self-portraiture and collaborations, the artist explores the complex layers of visibility and forms of cultural exclusion through the lens of sexuality, body image, diaspora and aging.

Helio Eudoro is a Brazilian-Canadian multidisciplinary artist based in Toronto. He holds a BFA (Hons.) in Sculpture and Installation from OCAD University (2022). His work explores the intersection of identity, gender, sexuality, diaspora, and aging. Eudoro's art investigates themes of possessions, waste, and the cycle of mindless ownership, seeking to spark dialogues that challenge our understanding of body and identities, as well as material systems and their impact on consumption and disposal habits. He has received several grants and awards, including the 2022 OCADU Carmen Lamanna Award and the 2020 RBC Newcomer Arts Award. Eudoro's artwork has been exhibited in galleries and museums across Canada and Brazil, including the Art Museum at the University of Toronto in 2023 and ArtworxTO in 2022. His art is featured in collections such as the Museu de Arte Moderna da Bahia and the Museu de Arte Contemporânea of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil.

We extend our appreciation to all who ventured through our doors to immerse themselves into the work. Akin thanks all of the artists and our partners, the Neighborhood Arts Network, Toronto Arts Foundation, and Pride Toronto.
