A ribbon of blue neon accentuates the peak of an azure-coloured architectural gateway perforated with Islamic ornamental patterns. Several similarly constructed shadow boxes are located throughout the gallery defining a semi-circular area for contemplation and interaction.

MT Space presents a special edition of TELL! in partnership with Textile and UWAG.

Please join us at the University of Waterloo Art Gallery on February 11, where we will be hosting TELL! as part of i look to the skies an exhibition by Palestinian-Canadian artist Jude Abu Zaineh. 

TELL! is MT Space's coffeehouse open-mic style event offering the community an artistic platform to share their works in a casual setting. It is a platform that offers time and space to share something you’ve created, or something you’ve been working on; whether it’s a short performance, story, poetry, or artwork, we welcome all forms of expression. 

Want to participate? Thinking of performing? Here's everything you need to know: Eventbrite: TELL us at UWAG

The event is dedicated to Palestinian voices. We invite you to share your works, stories, calls to action, or anything you feel like sharing in solidarity with Palestine. 

Textile will be producing a micro-publication in response to this gathering and Jude Abu Zaineh’s installation. Participants will be invited to contribute creative work. We also ask everyone to be considerate of the night’s theme, and to come experience the artwork.

This event is low/no tech. Bring anything you may need for your performance, including amps for instruments. Use this as an opportunity to get feedback from an engaged audience or simply show us what you've got!
