Join the OAG at Pique: Spring Edition.
Featuring groundbreaking performances, striking art installations, and thought-provoking presentations, Pique is a convergence of creativity and innovation that welcomes international artists and communities.
Taking place on International Women’s Day, the Pique spring edition spotlights women and gender nonconforming people who demonstrate artistic innovation and leadership, and kicks off the festival’s 5th season with its signature curatorial eclecticism by bringing together club futurism, intercultural ambient-electronic, jazz-hop vanguardism, vocal experimentation, leftfield pop music, drag brilliance, soft sculpture installation, and lots more.
Admission to Pique is pay-what-you-can and all-ages.
Celebrating the opening of Grotto: The Bill Staubi Collection, the OAG will host an interactive fiber arts performance by Saivani Sanassy (Ubuntu Art House). Weave and mend stitches through the metamorphic life cycle of a cicada and explore what has been buried beneath the surface. This performance will be taking place on March 8 from 6 PM – 8 PM in the Grotto exhibition space (4th floor galleries).
Meet the Artist
Saivani Sanassy is a Mauritian-Canadian artist based in Ottawa who loves to explore natural and fantastical subjects through water colour, ceramics, and jewelry. Art has been an important part of their life since they can remember, it has been an expressive and therapeutic tool in understanding herself, her identity, and methods of pedagogy.
A Pique ticket is not required to see the Ubuntu Art House performance.
