CBC
CBC Windsor wants you to meet three local artists making an impact on the local art scene.
Talysha Bujold-Abu, Jude Abu Zaineh and Julie Hall are all being featured at the Art Windsor Essex gallery with exhibitions that are currently or soon-to-be open to the public.
Bujold-Abu is the curator behind the exhibit Marcel Dzama: Illustration and Other Worlds. It features the work of Dzama with responses by Bujold-Abu through murals painted on the walls.
She pulls on his surrealist symbolism and responds in kind.
Bujold-Abu describes herself as an artist that puts silliness and fun at the forefront of her work.
WATCH l Bujold-Abu gives us a tour of Illustration and Other Worlds:
Illustration and Other Worlds will be on display at the gallery until Sept. 11, 2022.
Palestinian-Canadian artist Jude Abu Zaineh lives in Troy, New York, but she considers Windsor her home away from home.
Her latest exhibit In the Presence of Absence is a personal look at her relationship with her roots, highlighting the stories of others with similar experiences as well.
Featuring family photographs, bio art and a mural, her latest installation is her very first curated solo museum exhibition.
WATCH l Abu Zaineh describes why her latest work is so personal:
In the Presence of Absence will be on display at the gallery until Sept. 11, 2022.
Julie Hall is the artist and horticulturist behind the Depends on the Light installation coming soon to the Art Windsor-Essex gallery.
Located on the gallery's green roof terrace, it features native perennial plants like butterfly milkweed and prairie smoke with garden sculptures woven in throughout the terrace. Still a work-in-progress, the terrace will also feature colourful flags surrounding the garden, as an invitation to bring Windsorites into the space. The roof terrace is a certified Monarch waystation to support a healthy population of Monarch butterflies.
Intelligence regarding foreign interference sometimes didn't make it to the prime minister's desk in 2021 because Canada's spy agency and the prime minister's national security adviser didn't always see eye to eye on the nature of the threat, according to a recent report from one of Canada's intelligence watchdogs.
