Suminagashi “Floating Ink” Prints - art activity
7:00 to 10:00 pm
Suminagashi, or "floating ink," is a Japanese paper-marbling technique from the 12th century. It involves dropping ink onto a water surface and gently manipulating it with breath to create swirling patterns. The ink spreads and shifts, illustrating how small changes can have a ripple effect. Inspired by Christina Battle’s exhibition, this activity symbolizes the interconnectedness of all things and serves as a metaphor for environmental awareness: just as our actions influence the patterns in Suminagashi, they also impact the environment. This activity, suitable for all ages, invites reflection on the delicate balance in nature and underscores the importance of mindful interactions with our world.

Juice Joint - musical performance

Juice Joint is a seven-piece jazz-fusion and hip-hop band based in London, Ontario, that got its start working on a student recording project at Fanshawe College. Since then, Juice Joint has played over 40 shows and also organize a successful bi-weekly jam session at a local bar where the band begins with a short-set and encourages attendees to join them on stage and jam. From chill, lofi-inspired grooves to high-intensity solos, this emerging London ensemble delivers a wide range of modern jazz sounds.
