SPAO is pleased to present Slumber Party, a group exhibition.Slumber Party
ON VIEW: January 16 - March 8, 2026
RECEPTION: Friday, January 16 | 5:00PM - 7:00PM
Slumber Party brings together photo-based works by nine Canadian female and gender-nonconforming artists. Leaning into whimsy, fantasy, and camp, the exhibition revels in the subversive power of girlhood aesthetics, often dismissed as trivial or unserious. These artists embrace performativity and play in their work, showing how gender identities are shaped, challenged, and continually remade.
This exhibition is presented as part of a larger collaboration between SPAO and Giant Tiger in celebration of International Women’s Day. The exhibition is accompanied by a limited-edition T-shirt featuring work by Linh VH Nguyen, available in select Giant Tiger stores and online. All proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Canadian Women’s Foundation, supporting critical programs for women and gender-diverse people across Canada.
