Visual Arts Open Lecture Series: Germaine Koh
Advertisement
Location: Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Bldg, 204
Join us for an afternoon Visual Arts Open Lecture with Governor General’s Award-winning artist Germaine Koh, who works across disciplines.
Looking at the significance of communal experiences and the connections between people, technology, and natural systems, Koh’s ongoing projects include the Slow Fashion Season events, encouraging sustainability in textiles and clothing; the Home Made Home initiative, exploring alternative forms of housing; the League project, focused on play as a form of creative practice; and a land-based artist residency. Her presentation will focus on the value of hands-on making.
Koh is on faculty for the Summer Banff Artist in Residence (BAiR) program. Open to visual artists working across mediums, BAiR combines the freedom of a self-directed residency with the supportive benefits of an organized program. As well as receiving the space to create, research, and experiment, participants are part of an international community of contemporary artists committed to developing and expanding their practice.
This event is part of the Visual Arts Open Lecture Series, which presents talks by leading Canadian and international artists, curators, and academics.
Visual Arts is supported by Fondation DRG and the Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Outstanding Artist Program.
Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity is excited to bring together world-renowned musicians, artists, and writers, as well as passionate audiences for the 2026 Banff Centre Summer Arts Festival. Running throughout May to September, the 2026 festival invites audiences to experience a season of artistic discovery of over 100 free and ticketed events.
