This exhibition is part of Creating Space 17: Off the Charts.
Rotary Centre for the Arts and Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art, Kelowna, BC.
Unsilenced Stories: Off the Charts invites submissions exploring the stories, knowledges, and experiences that exist beyond, between, and outside the records, systems, and narratives through which healthcare institutions define and document human experience. The exhibition asks what remains undocumented in healthcare and what is lost when complex human experiences are reduced to records, diagnoses, data points, and institutional narratives. Artists are invited to consider the stories that live beyond the chart, challenging dominant narratives, revealing hidden histories, documenting alternative ways of knowing, and reimagining what counts as knowledge within health and healthcare.
