GPAG: Artist Talk with Jeannette Sirois

Join us for an Artist Talk with Jeannette Sirois on Saturday, June 20th, 2pm – 3pm. Free to attend, no registration required. All are welcome!

Jeannette Sirois is a queer visual artist based on Salt Spring Island whose work focuses on representation, identity, and visibility. Sirois has exhibited her work in solo and group exhibitions across Vancouver Island and on the Lower Mainland. She holds a diploma in Design, a Bachelors of Fine Arts, and a Masters of Education in Visual Arts. Beyond her own individual artistic practice, Sirois also mentors visual arts students and collaborates with emerging artists and curators on exhibitions intended to foster dialogue and connection. At the Table | The Architecture of Control is a portrait-based exhibition highlighting the lived experiences, identities, and truths of 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, and examining the structures and systems that have regulated and defined trans and queer lives.

Aging with Pride: Stories from Quirk-e

Celebrate Pride with an inspiring afternoon of storytelling from Quirk-e (Queer Imaging and Riting Kollective for Elders), a Vancouver-based collective of queer elders who have been creating, connecting, and advocating together since 2006. Through powerful readings of original work, Quirk-e members share stories of creativity, resilience, and living authentically across generations.

Join us for readings followed by a thoughtful discussion and Q&A.

Registration required.
