RIPPLES:
Dirty Dishes x Kitt Peacock
​collaborative research residency

"Ripples" is a collaborative research residency between artist Kitt Peacock and the Dirty Dishes Collective, taking place within the Crummy Gallery in front of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria from July 4-11, 2022 as a part of UNIT/PITT's Wrong Wave Festival.

With the intention of creating a collaborative zine, Ripples explores movement and trace as a way of queering relationships to land. Looking to the sea edge’s resistance of colonial mapping and the tidal zone as a space that’s constantly erasing, rewriting, and leaving traces through erosion, Ripples considers the queer possibilities of shapeshifting geographies which refuse finitude.

Functioning as an open studio/community workshop zone, the gallery will have a queer zine library set-up so folks can read and visit with the residency artists + curators. Throughout the residency, we will also be hosting storytelling and zine-making workshops exploring the themes we are working with.

The DDC has put together a selection of zines which explore themes of queerness, land, water, un/mapping, movement, and trace. These works coincide with our week-long experimental residency RIPPLES with artist Kitt Peacock.

Ripples is generously supported by UNIT/PITT and CCA’s Arts Across Canada program as part of Wrong Wave Festival 2022. With in-kind support from Supply Victoria, the Crummy Gallery, and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.
