Manu Mrityunjay Solo Exhibition – Studio M Gallery
2025-12-20
Manu Mrityunjay is a multidisciplinary artist engaged with spaces both within and at the intersections of text, sound and image, continually (dis)locating himself in/with twin planks of crisis and anxiety. His work involves a performance to orchestrate a negotiation between intuition, and allowed accidents. Tracing the shared site of pleasure, beauty, the fear of the unknown and overcoming is the reward at the end. Born in India, Mrityunjay made Canada his second home in the year 2013.
In the next two years after moving to Canada, he published two books (“Away ya Damn poems” 2014, “Swaha” 2019), a dozen essays and produced two music albums (Songs from basement 2015, Su.N Sakhiye 2020).
The exhibit runs till March 28th., at the Studio M Gallery, 951 Lakeshore Rd. East, Mississauga.
Opening hours :
Tuesday – Saturday from 9 am till 5 pm, Sunday and Monday, with appointments

The Ones We Met: Inuit Traditional Knowledge and the Franklin Expedition
2025-12-20
An exhibition exploring the historic Franklin Expedition through the lens of Inuit traditional knowledge.

This interactive exhibit, with an audio-visual station and animated map, displays the retellings of Inuit traditional knowledge (Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit), and the modern archaeological research that assisted in locating the wrecks of ships from the Franklin Expedition (Sir John Franklin’s 1845 attempt to locate the Northwest Passage).
This travelling exhibit, developed by the Canadian Museum of History, in collaboration with the Inuit Heritage Trust, will be on display at Bradley Museum Anchorage Galleries until April 16, 2023. It is presented in Inuktitut, Inuinnaqtun, English and French – the four official languages of Nunavut.

The Ones We Met shares the stories of Inuit in Northern Canada. Locally, the land where the exhibition is being shown has been cared for by different communities of Indigenous Peoples, which continue to grow and thrive today. The lands which constitute present-day City of Mississauga are part of the Treaty and Traditional Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, The Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and the Huron-Wendat and Wyandot Nations.

The Further Apart Things Seem Exhibition - AGM
2025-12-20
On from February 7 to April 9, 2023 at the Art Gallery of Mississauga.
Opening reception: Thursday, February 9, 2023 from 6-8 PM

In a social and political moment where opinions are often divisive, breaking into camps at polar ends of the ideological spectrum, the possibility of finding common ground can seem beyond reach. Debates over human rights, climate change, land claims, and even the politicizing of the pandemic often seem at cross-purposes and irresolvable. How do we respond in times of uncertainty—when do we push forward, when do we give up, and when do we try things differently? In The Further Apart Things Seem, artists follow distinct paths that invent strategies of resistance, often pushing against logic to explore areas of connection between things that might initially appear unrelated or in opposition. By testing the unexpected and playing outside the limits of functionality, they embrace material experimentation and provisionality as productive spaces for building resilience, resolution, and understanding.
Co-curated by Shannon Anderson & Jay Wilson.
Artists: Atanas Bozdarov, Anna Binta Diallo, Barbara Hobot, Adriana Kuiper & Ryan Suter, Brendan Lee Satish Tang, Couzyn van Heuvelen
The Further Apart Things Seem is co-presented by Contemporary Calgary, the University of Waterloo Art Gallery, and the Art Gallery of Mississauga.

About the Artist
“My painting is an energetic and intense process which results in work, deeply felt. The impetus is a response to a visual, an emotional or a musical world, or all three. The shapes are bold and simplified.
Non objective works center on surface images of reinterpreted inner experiences. In my work I seek the resonance of music in reaching for the primordial soul. A universal rhythm is expressed through texture and sometimes through reflective metallic paint surfaces manipulated with implements beyond the brushstroke. Beneath the surface lies an inspiration from myth and music.
The canvas is placed on the floor. The paint is poured or thrown, sometimes manipulated, sometimes not. The hard part is knowing when to stop.
Although many of my paintings are non objective, I have always been interested in the figurative. Many years were spent drawing and painting from the model. Now I am abandoning the model in order to be more expressive, emphasizing feeling, intuition and relationships. Convincing but not accurate.
What is exciting now is that I am combining my love of the figurative with my knowledge and passion for the non objective. These works are large and heavily textured with thick paint and gels. They are sculptural works on canvas, bold, dramatic and emotional.”
