Empty Bowls fundraiser for Corbeil de pain in Pointe-Claire next weekend. Jasmine Steventon, programs manager for the non-profit Corbeil de Pain, tells us about a new program for people struggling with food insecurity in the West Island. It's going to get a boost from the upcoming Empty Bowls event. That's the one where you buy a beautiful, locally made pottery bowl and get it filled with soup!

VENEZIA, 20.04 - 24.11 2024 - BIENNALE ARTE 2024.
Kapwani Kiwanga Represents Canada at the 60th International Art Exhibition—La Biennale di Venezia 2024.
Kapwani Kiwanga is a multi-disciplinary artist who considers how diverse forms of power are manifested, how the histories they suppress are often overlooked, and their impact on everyday life. With Trinket, Kiwanga transforms the Canada Pavilion by way of a site-specific sculptural installation. She invites visitors into an immersive environment through an ambitious intervention on the building’s interior and exterior.
