\u00ab\u00a0Alliedoscope<\/strong> is proud to present its inaugural event Mixed Feelings<\/strong>, at The Tangled Art Gallery Vitrines, on Saturday, April 29. An interactive exhibition Mixed Feelings features two multidisciplinary, local Toronto artists’ works; Amber Williams-King and Wy Joung Kou.<\/p>\n

The new, female-run collective Alliedoscope is launching Mixed Feelings with the kind support of Tangled Art + Disability<\/strong> and in partnership with Storywave Collective<\/strong>. Mixed Feelings takes place at Tangled Art Gallery’s Vitrine space: The Tangled Vitrines, S-30 (basement level), 401 Richmond St W, from 6:00pm to 9:00pm, on Saturday, 29 April.<\/p>\n

Mixed Feelings is a multidisciplinary showcase centred on themes of inclusivity, storytelling, and perseverance. The collective’s primary goal is to feature the work of artists with physical or mental disabilities, facing trauma. The event presents pieces of two local artists; Amber Williams-King and Wy Joung Kou. Mixed Feelings offers its visitors the opportunity of an interactive experience through different communication points: a short music performance by Subpac (a small vibrating pack that allows people to feel music), a confession booth and a communal mural where audience members may\u00a0share\u00a0their own stories through painting, writing, and spoken word. The artworks on display will require various interactions as well such as viewing, listening and touching. Artists will be present during the event to speak with guests and describe their pieces. The exhibition aims to encourage visitors to engage with the artists and participate in the works. Through this interactive and joint creative process, Alliedoscope believes in the possibility of a sustainable inclusion.<\/p>\n

Alliedoscope Collective<\/strong>
\nAlliedoscope’s Vision is to\u00a0create accessible and inclusive presentations via showcasing the stories of underrepresented communities. The collective focus primarily on presenting\u00a0the work\u00a0of artists who identify as Deaf, disabled, hard of hearing, Mad, mentally ill, neurodiverse, or chronically ill. The collective’s Mission is to create community surrounding stories of hope and resilience, and to give a platform to those who have felt unheard or excluded; to offer a space that encourages engagement through inclusive interpretation and interaction; to showcase and promote the works of artists from varied experience and backgrounds. Alliedoscope Collective team is made up of five\u00a0female artists and emerging art administrators with extensive backgrounds: Kate Buote, Samyuktha Punthambekar, Maurena Taylor, H\u00fcma \u00dcster and Christina Volpini.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n
