Pandora's Collective Presents The Journey: Poetic Weaving by Natasha Boskic In "The Journey” exhibition Natasha explores the intersection of fibres and words, tactile and the virtual. She sees the world as a constant interplay between forces, the exchange of layers of reality that meet and dissolve in time and space. This engagement creates narratives and poetic ripples. The wall-hangings tell stories of different journeys, both physical and imaginary, of love, friendships and memories. They reveal a sense of displacement and erasure, loss and discovery of people and places, heritage, traditions and cultures. Wall-hangings and art for sale. Exhibition open from July 1-July 31, 2024 Special Reception: July 6th, 2024. Artist will be present. Time: Changed to 1:00 - 3:00pm Location: Catching Stars Gallery 479 Bowen Island Trunk Rd Unit #1, Bowen Island, Natasha lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, More about her work at onlywords.ca Contact: [email protected] www.pandorascollective.com |

Pandora's Collective Presents This is When I Am by Rosemary Nowicki: Book Launch A beautiful combination of heartfelt reflections and arresting experiences, Rosemary Nowicki’s debut poetry collection is filled with hope, heartbreak, friendship, love and loss. This Is When I Am is a captivating love letter to this bitter-sweet life, that beckons the reader to pause and enjoy the small, simple delights any day offers. Rosemary brings her imaginative awareness to a poetry collection that is always personal, often observational, and sometimes humourous. Host: Bonnie Nish Time: 7:00 - 8:45pm Location: Sidney and Gertrude Zack Gallery, Jewish Community Centre 950 41st Ave W., Vancouver, BC Rosemary Nowicki lives in Steveston, British Columbia, and hopes always to be close to the Fraser River. Born in Vancouver and raised in Richmond, she has never been far from it. She started writing poetry about fifteen years ago when a lifelong love of words finally overtook her reluctance to put pen to paper. Contact: [email protected] www.pandorascollective.com |
