Ripples was a collaborative research residency between artist Kitt Peacock and the Dirty Dishes Collective, taking place within the Crummy Gallery in front of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria from
July 4-11, 2022 as a part of UNIT/PITT's Wrong Wave Festival.
With the intention of creating a collaborative zine, Ripples explores movement and trace as a way of queering and decolonizing settler relationships to land. Looking to the sea edge’s resistance of colonial mapping and the tidal zone as a space that’s constantly erasing, rewriting, and leaving traces through erosion, Ripples considers the queer possibilities of shapeshifting geographies which refuse finitude.
Functioning as an open studio/community workshop zone, the gallery had a queer zine library set-up so folks could read and visit with the residency artists + curators. Throughout the residency, we also hosted zine-making workshops and talks exploring the themes we are working with.
