The Art of Noticing is a group exhibition featuring art practices that embody what it means to notice. Artists Michele Anne-Marie Dickson, Naomi Beth Hill, Sophia Kyungwong Kim and Don Kwan engage with themes of belonging, interdependence, countering indifference, and slow process. Noticing re-imagines what care as a trusting, relational approach looks like, holding space for other possible promising narratives. The exhibition welcomes everyone to share-in, discern, and catch sight of these stories of care: care of geographical landscapes, care of the body, care of personal and communal grief, and care in motherhood.
