Hi again, Ashley here! For my last IG takeover pos

Hi again, Ashley here! For my last IG takeover post I just wanted to firstly thank ee for having me as their remote artist in residence this summer! And secondly, I want to say that BLACK LIVES MATTER, and that we all have so so much work to do to make the arts a more inclusive and accessible space for black people, and other people of colour. Please, if you can, DONATE MONEY and if you don’t have the money consider what resources and skills you do have that you can offer to black communities at this time. There is so much work to be done, but we can do it together. Stay safe out there ❤️✊🌈

Hi pals, Ashley here!! I really wanted to thank ev

Hi pals, Ashley here!! I really wanted to thank everyone who came out (virtually) to my makers afternoon on Tuesday!! It was so nice to talk to some friends I haven’t seen in a while and to have some company while I worked! I think that it is so important for us to stay connected and support each other as artists, all the time but especially now. If you missed the event or you want to hear more from me I will be doing an artist talk in the near future, stay tuned for details!!

Hi folks, Ashley here for IG takeover round 2! It’s been so nice lately to be able to work in the physical EE studio space! I’m so lucky that the type of work that I do can often be made from home, but it really makes it feel more like work when I am going into a designated space to do it. Tomorrow at 3pm NL time I am going to be hosting a virtual makers afternoon through EE on zoom, and it would be lovely to see some of you there! It will be a time and space for people to work on their own projects, individually but together. If you want to join in send us a message or follow the link in our bio to sign up to receive an invite. I will be working on my “Black Lives Matter” rug and I fully encourage protest sign making as a makers afternoon activity if you want to come but are unsure what to make!!! I hope to see you there! :)

✨🌼Saturday evening, we spent time together li

✨🌼Saturday evening, we spent time together listening to Faune’s Artist Talk as she reflected on her recent work and her residency with EE. Faune discussed her identity as a diasporic artist- from her first times in Newfoundland to hearing about the Newfoundland railway, then moving to British Columbia and many things in between. We saw images of her work with Dandelions and Icebergs as we learned about her thoughts on the diasporic nature of these subjects and how she interacted with them.🌼✨ It was a pleasure to spend this time with you, Faune ♥️ and we can’t wait to see all that you will do with this project in the future! Follow Faune here @wordlessp4commonppl to stay up to date with her practice! 💛💐🌿

This Saturday, June 27th at 6 pm Newfoundland time

This Saturday, June 27th at 6 pm Newfoundland time, come virtually meet with Faune Ybarra to hear about her project, “Archive of Embodied Displacement: Diasporic Gestures Performing the Archive”.🎨✨🌻 Faune’s project at EE asked us intricate questions, facilitated sharing experiences and connection, and was performed through documented actions. This project is still ongoing, and can be observed through @wordlessp4commonppl ⭐️ If you’re excited to know more about Faune’s practice and learn about her remote residency at EE, visit the link in our bio to find out how to access the online event! All are welcome 🤗

Hi again, it’s Ashley here and it’s the last p

Hi again, it’s Ashley here and it’s the last post of my ig takeover! Today I want to get some dialogue going with you folks! Part of my research is collecting photos of weird signage and another part of my research is speaking to people about the old phrases belonging to their family that seem to come from no where and make no sense! So I want you to comment or message me (to the EE account or my personal account @ash_hemmings ) either with pictures of strange signs you have found here in NL or anywhere else in the world, OR let me know a strange phrase that someone in your family says. I REALLY want ones that are related to animals, nature, or the land, but I would still love to hear anything you’ve got even if it is unrelated!! The images in this post are of some of my favourite signs and some of my favourite sayings from my grandmother!! And thanks for following along for my ig takeover, feel free to follow my account for more residency content, or stay tuned for EE to announce my upcoming virtual events!! Thanks! Everyone stay healthy, stay safe and fight the good fight - BLACK LIVES MATTER!!!
