The Visual Arts Lecture Series presents talks by leading Canadian and international artists, curators, and academics.

Join Adriana Kuiper, Visual Art faculty from Early Career Banff Artists in Residency program and a highly acclaimed interdisciplinary artist and professor at Mount Allison University for an afternoon talk. Focused on the intersection of sheltering spaces, fear, protection, and human fallibility, Kuiper's work invites a deep reflection on the capacity of structures to provide safety and refuge against formidable forces, whether natural or otherwise. Through inventive strategies of reinvention, Kuiper reexamines the dynamics of security, questioning how our built environments respond to overwhelming challenges. Gain insights into the artist's extensive exhibition history across Canada and around the world, offering a glimpse into the evolution of her thought-provoking and socially relevant artistic practice.
