MAKE/SHIFT Exhibit Curator's Tour
- Date: Wednesday, October 7, 2020 - 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM
The Trent Centre for Aging & Society (TCAS) invites you to join us on a private tour and interactive workshop with curator Hannah Keating.
With safety measures in place, our small group will view the works by artist Alexis Bulman, hear insights from the exhibit's curator, and share reflections on the experience together.
"This exhibit is exciting for its textures and the sensations it elicits, and it is thought-provoking regarding care and community. Its innovative presentation will be of interest especially when reflecting upon what is referred to as the Aging/Disability Nexus (2020) where aging and disability intersect, sometimes visibly, sometimes invisibly. Aging with and into disability, and disability with and into aging occur as life experiences. MAKE/SHIFT invites reflection upon access and accessibility for these experiences and diverse audiences." - Dr. Nadine Changfoot, TCAS Executive Member.
Registration is required and space is limited to allow for physical distancing. Register here.

About the Artist
Alexis Bulman is a Prince Edward Island-born artist with a studio practice currently based in Montreal, QC. After acquiring her BFA from NSCAD University in 2013, she began developing an artistic practice as a facilitator, collaborator, and builder of sculptures, installations, performances, and video works. Employing methodologies informed by her diagnosis of double curvature Scoliosis, Bulman translates the patterns of her physical movement and bodily occupation of space into visual form. She is particularly curious about the many ways a person’s experiences are shared and communicated versus how they are perceived and “accommodated” by others. Bulman’s work has been exhibited across Eastern Canada, Quebec, and Ontario in site-specific installations and in galleries such as Eyelevel Gallery, The Confederation Centre Art Gallery, and The Robert McLaughlin Gallery. She has completed numerous artist residencies, including at Art City in Winnipeg, MB, Connexion Artist Run Centre in Fredericton, NB, and Centre[3] for Print and Media Arts in Hamilton, ON. In 2019-2020, she was in residence at OBORO and Spectrum Productions in Montréal, QC as a contributor to the Interrogating Access series.
