Events' Realm

Floating seeds roam the drylands, intending to make deep forms. Floating seeds are vessels searching for potential life, simultaneously suspended and rooted, architects of their own making. We find floating seeds at the porous intersections of landscape and architecture, visually manifesting their underlying networks, ecosystems, and cultures. Making deep forms is a way of reworlding—an attempt to view things differently—refuting binary order to speculate the future. Floating seeds make deep forms on a path toward becoming, being, and knowing by reflecting the complexity of their entangled networks and testing their existence. Floating seeds make deep forms through new structures that emerge as palpable auras of transformation.

Los Angeles-based artist Cybele Lyle explores place and identity by reconfiguring architecture, interior space, and the natural environment in her installation, video, and 2D works. Her first solo museum exhibition, _Floating Seeds Make Deep Forms_, is a site-specific installation that reimagines deserts of North America as liminal expanses for ambiguity within a regenerative ecosystem and positions architecture through the lens of queer space, a responsive site to the natural evolution of identity and environment.

SMoCA’s _Architecture + Art_ series presents ground-breaking projects by individuals whose work explores and challenges the boundaries between architecture and art. Organized by Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art and curated by Lauren R. O’Connell, curator of contemporary art. This artwork is commissioned following W.A.G.E. guidelines. Support provided by World Class Sponsor The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

So much happened before Dorothy dropped in.


WICKED, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle.  Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin—smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.” 


From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story. “If every musical had the brains, heart and courage of WICKED, Broadway really would be a magical place” (Time Magazine).

Katie Wilhelm and Summer Bressette are based in London, Ontario, and have been creative collaborators since 2021. They champion Indigenous knowledge with its deep roots in environmental care. Their new single-channel digital video, called Baapaagimaak, takes its name from the Anishinaabemowin word for the endangered Black Ash tree, a native species which in recent years has been decimated by an invasive insect, the Emerald Ash Borer.

Working in dialogue with Curator of Art Cassandra Getty, the artists made this project for display in the large windows in Centre at the Forks, overlooking the river. The river water, like the Black Ash, is life and supports life; its flow symbolizes change and renewal over time. Baapaagimaak: Weaving Endurance is the result of an outdoor basket weaving workshop led by Faye George who is an artist from the Kettle and Stony Point First Nation, and ongoing land-based research by the artists.

In celebration of Reggae Month, the National Gallery of Jamaica (NGJ), in partnership with the [International Reggae Poster Contest (IRPC)](https://reggaepostercontest.com/), proudly presents the _30th Art of Reggae Exhibition_. Mark your calendars for **Sunday, February 23, 2025**, when the exhibition opens at the **National Gallery of Jamaica, 12 Ocean Boulevard, at 1:00 PM**. Guests will also be treated to a special performance by the talented musicians from the **Alpha School of Music**.

## **Honoring Reggae’s Influence on Hip Hop**

This year’s exhibition will feature the **top 100 submissions** from the **9th International Reggae Poster Contest**, centred around the theme **“The Jamaican Roots of Hip Hop.”** The collection pays tribute to the legendary **Clive Campbell, aka DJ Kool Herc**, the Jamaican-born innovator who laid the foundation for hip hop culture.

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1955, Campbell migrated to the Bronx, New York, at age 12, bringing with him the deep musical influence of Jamaica’s sound system culture. Inspired by Jamaican DJs like U-Roy, King Stitt, and Count Matchuki, he revolutionized music by rapping over riddims and perfecting the instrumental break—leading to the creation of the breakbeat, the very heartbeat of hip hop.

## **The Mission of the IRPC**

Founded in 2011 by the late **Michael Thompson and Maria Papaefstathiou**, the International Reggae Poster Contest (IRPC) is a global celebration of reggae and its far-reaching cultural impact. The contest serves a greater purpose—advocating for the establishment of a Reggae Hall of Fame museum and performance center in Kingston, Jamaica. Additionally, it aims to raise awareness and support for **The Alpha Institute** (formerly Alpha Boys School), a vocational institution run by the Sisters of Mercy. The school provides holistic education and training for underprivileged youth, nurturing the next generation of musicians and creatives.

Join us as we celebrate **reggae, hip hop, and Jamaica’s enduring musical legacy**. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a reggae lover, or simply curious about the roots of hip hop, this exhibition is not to be missed!

For more information and updates follow us on social media.
