As a Nigerian-born, Canadian-raised, only daughter of 4, this exhibition works to capture Chidera Uzoka’s journey of rediscovering her Nigerian roots. Many of the pieces are not only a celebration of the culture that she is slowly uncovering, but it is a juxtaposition of her experiences here versus her cultural heritage back home.

The exhibition will create a welcoming space for all attendees to enjoy and engage with the community. It will feature performances from other artists, interactive activities, as well as Nigerian cuisine!

Join us on July 18th for a free community celebration featuring the unveiling of four new murals by Harvey Nichol, Siwon Kang, David Park, and TWEAK.

Enjoy an evening of live music from DJs sleepy&small, DJ Sikwiddit, FRVNZ, and HAIZAY, along with food, drinks, and local vendors; Alcove Centre for the Arts and Like New Vintage. 

We hope you'll join us for an afternoon of art, music, and celebration.

Beneath the Petals is a meditation on emergence, reconstruction, and quiet joy. Inspired by the luminous interiors of flowers, the soft glow of spring sunlight, and gentle rain showers, this collection explores the beauty that reveals itself when we slow down and notice.
