ZJJM (Zhao JingLu and Jessica Morgun)
Jessica Morgun and JingLu Zhao have collaborated since 2021, developing their practice through projects and residencies in Saskatoon, including Biofeedback’s Community Project, Art Placement, AKA Artist-Run, and a Saskatchewan Arts Board grant. Their work articulates loss and isolation among artist-parents. Drawing on Eastern concepts of Qi and Western apophatic traditions, they create an East/West visual vocabulary. Through imagery of mist, domestic scenes, and landscape motifs, their collaborative practice explores caregiving, material relationships, and shared artistic inquiry.

Bokeh Lounge: Javiera Ebner, Nancy Wood, José Luis Fuenzalida, Maryanna Hardy, Constantine Katsiris
A group exhibition of interdisciplinary perspectives from local artists Javiera Ebner, Nancy Wood, José Luis Fuenzalida, Maryanna Hardy, and Constantine Katsiris, ours is a call to resist the urge for immediacy in an increasingly fast-moving society. Whether captured on city streets or in rural landscapes, we offer a reminder that quietude and patience in the present moment can reveal harmony in the everyday, if only we walk slowly enough to engage.
