Act 3: As Visible as Blood, reimagines the historical archetype of the Black, or Sable, Venus through the works of Rebecca Bair, Silvana Mendes, Keisha Scarville, Kosisochukwu Nnebe, and Kariyana Calloway-Scott. Bridging the thought of Black feminist writers and diasporic histories, the exhibition confronts the visual grammars of empire, slavery, and cultural domination while reclaiming the sensual, domestic, and speculative possibilities of Black womanhood.

Community members are invited to drop-in and participate in an open studio environment with facilitators (Alberta), art materials, and snacks. The facilitation is supportive and there to expand artists' material and conceptual repertoire if desired, or simply there to provide a safe space to create artwork and social connections, on their own terms.

Materials available for participants include pastels, acrylic paint, brushes, felt pens, paper, collage materials, and canvases (dependant on availability).
