Dissonance, by the Ottawa-based collective Studio Zone V, encourages viewers to ponder discordances present in our modern reality, including the shifting understanding of gender, the role of guns and societal violence, the treatment of Indigenous people, the vagaries of job security, the fading of historic anchors, and awareness of the origins of daily nutrition. Dissonance explores seven incongruities, each an optic of the modern-day world but often not truly “seen” in daily life.

Exhibition: May 15–30

Reception: May 16, 7pm–9pm
