About
Overview
KWAG presents two major summer 2026 exhibitions: Boring Earth: spontaneous gift, a new installation by the Earth-based collective convened by Patrick Cruz and Laila Fox; and Rosalie Favell | Belonging (1982-2024), the first retrospective of renowned Red River Métis artist Rosalie Favell, organized and circulated by Onsite Gallery.
Boring Earth: spontaneous gift
Boring Earth is an Earth-based collective concerned with discrepant, more-than-human worldings and the portals that jamb between. Their research considers eclipsed and emergent modalities of socionatural relations, muddling extractive dualities through pluriversal inquiry, elemental knowing, and play. The collective challenges the One-World myth, conjuring plural ways of perceiving/believing/relating across urbanized and invisible ecosystems.
Boring Earth: Key dates

Rosalie Favell | Belonging
This is the first retrospective of renowned Red River Métis artist Rosalie Favell, showcasing a powerful curated selection of her lens-based works from 1982 to 2024. The exhibition celebrates Favell's groundbreaking photographic practice and explores complex themes of identity, empowerment, same-sex desire, community and the nuanced search for belonging through a lens that is both deeply personal and subtly subversive.
