Event 0006

Collaboration

Tickets

The Ottawa Design Club is back with another live speaker event! This time, we’re exploring the concept and process of collaboration—learning to be vulnerable, embracing change, and all the ways this can enhance your work. Three Ottawa creatives will share their experiences with collaboration in their own work, diving deep into the challenges they faced, and the unexpected surprises that made the final outcomes more than they could have anticipated.

Here’s what you can expect at our upcoming speaker event:

Make new creative friends! The first hour of the event is dedicated to networking. Don’t be scared, we promise the ambiance will be super laid back. Grab a drink, have some food and have a chat with a stranger!

Listen to inspiring speakers!
Note: With last minute cancellations from 2/3 of our speakers due to illness, this event pivoted from its originally advertised program into an impromptu open-mic panel discussion with local creatives and zine 004 curators Sandra Ngenge Dusabe and Priya Gurnani. We’re so grateful for our community who showed up for us despite the unexpected turn of events.

Discover Zine 0005! We’ll be releasing Zine 0005 — Collaboration on the same night. Copies will be available for purchase at the zine table at the event. Be one of the first to get your hands on a copy of our final zine!

There will also be food and a cash bar.

IMPORTANT: Please stay home if you’re not feeling well or have symptoms associated with COVID-19. Masks will be available for anyone that wishes to wear one.

Priya Gurnani

Painter, and Emerging Curator

Priya Gurnani, a self-taught artist, creates art that reflects her dreamscape, a haven that hosts vibrant dancing of the Aurora Borealis on mountainous stages. Priya uses various media such as ink, gouache, pencil crayons, and watercolours to capture melancholy movements and accentuates them with minimal linework, embroidery, and found botanical materials.

Inspired by her East-Indian heritage, Priya's latest works beautifully blend elements of traditional Indian art and textile patterns, adding a touch of cultural richness to her artistry.
