Slow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover the joy of looking at and loving art.

This year, immerse yourself in a mindful exploration of the exhibition Magdalene Odundo: A Dialogue with Objects and take time to observe and appreciate the intricate details, forms, and stories woven into each vessel. Drop in between 11 am – 1 pm to participate in a guided activity and engage in discussion about the works.

About the Exhibition:

Magdalene Odundo: A Dialogue with Objects features the exquisite sculptural vessels one of the world’s most renowned ceramic artists, Dame Magdalene Odundo. Her first exhibition in Canada and the largest ever presentation of her work in North America, the show brings together works spanning the artist’s career, including new pieces directly from her studio. Odundo’s work will be in dialogue with art and artifacts from many time periods and cultures, ranging from ancient Mediterranean figurines to monumental Abstract Expressionist painting, to explore the connections that unite us as humans. These dialogues, and Odundo’s practice, model working trans-culturally in ways that are neither colonial nor extractive, while interrogating the role of museum collections of historical objects as well as hierarchies of Western art. Learn more
