Exhibition: New Routes: threads across space and time
Venue: Mitchell Art Gallery, Edmonton
Dates: September 19 – December 6, 2025
Opening Reception: Thursday, September 18, 6:00–8:00 p.m., Mitchell Art Gallery
Starting September 19, four artists of Jamaican heritage will exhibit at the Mitchell Art Gallery in Edmonton, Canada, under the theme: New Routes: threads across space and time. Raneece Buddan, AJA Louden, Garfield Morgan, and Elsa Robinson met each other in Edmonton’s Treaty 6 territory. For nine months, they explored themes of diaspora, Jamaican culture, African heritage, and reclamation of their history, which resulted in the show.
The works in New Routes include painting, ceramics, sculpture, fibre, and textiles, with one standout piece created collectively by all four artists in dialogue. Writer Yaniya Lee developed an essay alongside the artists that offers viewers another entry point into the conversations and ideas at the heart of the show.
New Routes highlights the resilience and creativity of diasporic communities and how heritage is continually reinterpreted across time and place.
The exhibition will be open till December 6.
