Summer Vibes in the #exchangedistrict kicks off with #Alleyways ! We've partnered with the @exchangedistrictwpg as the lounge for the events, the first of which happens on Friday, June 19th, 7 - 10pm. Our lounge will feature DJ @inside.looking (aka L0v3yDucky), a multidisciplinary artist of Vietnamese descent, currently based in Winnipeg MB, Canada. Themes of Buddhism and spirituality are explored through her process of art making, with a strong interest in re-imagining her cultural roots through non-Western forms of art and philosophy. Nancy practices traditional techniques of East Asian art such as, Ikebana (Japanese flower arranging), Gong-Fu Cha (Chinese tea tasting), and Sumi-e ink painting, as well as music production. In 2024, she won third place at her first local beat-making competition under the alias- L0v3yDucky, and continues to venture into music as a way to expand her practice. Her sound can be described as unearthly, experimental and nasty. We'll have tasty beverages by @nonsuchbeer and snacks! Come hang! #winnipeg #summer Blue Alleyways Logo

A glimpse into one of the workshops taking place at Aangan: a QTBIPOC Artist Residency - a creative courtyard for artists to gather, make, and learn together. ✨ “Space, Mass, and Lines” is a two-part workshop and artist talk led by Nancy Nguyen (@inside.looking), introducing Ikebana and Sumi-e ink painting. This offering invites participants into the fundamentals of visual composition and gestural drawing through practices rooted in observation, attention, and slowness. Day 1 begins with storytelling from Nancy’s artistic journey, followed by an introduction to Ikebana. Participants will engage with three key visual concepts: spatial composition, mass & volume, and line & movement, as they create their own floral arrangements with provided materials. Day 2 moves into Sumi-e ink painting, working with sumi ink, calligraphy brushes, and rice paper. Participants will translate their flower arrangements into gestural ink drawings while continuing to explore the same guiding principles. Aangan is a collective space for QTBIPOC artists to gather, create, and learn alongside one another. If you are a QTBIPOC artist seeking space to deepen your practice, we encourage you to apply at the link in bio before May 31st. And if you’re a QTBIPOC artist interested in facilitating a workshop within the residency, we would love to hear from you. Please reach out via DM or email. 💌

Join us this First Friday, 6 February for 𝘞𝘦𝘵 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘢𝘭's second performance, 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘔𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, by Nancy Nguyen, from 7PM - 9PM. This performance and exhibition is co-presented with @send.receive Nancy Nguyen’s performance uses water not as subject, but as collaborator. Working live with suminagashi, a traditional Japanese paper-marbling technique, Nguyen paints charcoal ink onto the surface of water, allowing chance, movement, and gravity to shape each image before transferring it onto rice paper. Rooted in a process-driven and meditative practice, the performance emphasizes letting materials lead rather than controlling outcomes. Titled When Nature Meets Chance, the work reflects Nguyen’s interest in the moment where intention and unpredictability align. The performance invites audiences into a contemplative space where images emerge as fleeting records of water, time, and attention. BIOGRAPHY Nancy Nguyen is a multidisciplinary artist of Vietnamese descent, born and raised in Winnipeg MB, Canada. She received her BFA studying graphic design at the University of Manitoba and moved to British Columbia for 8 years to work as a graphic artist. There, she was able to practice traditional forms of Asian art such as Ikebana (Japanese flower arranging), Gong-Fu Cha (Chinese tea tasting), and Sumi-e ink painting, as well as music production. Currently based in Winnipeg, in 2024, she won third place at her first local beat-making competition and continues to venture into music as a way to expand her practice. Her sound can be described as dark, experimental and nasty. Nancy has always had an interest in reimagining her cultural roots through non-western forms of art and philosophy. Themes of Buddhism and spirituality are explored through her experimental process of making and she sees her curiosity for various art practices, as a way of life.

This Sunday, October 26th, TakeHome QTBIPOC Arts House and send + receive partner for an intro to beatmaking workshop with Hassaan Ashraf and Nancy Nguyen. Hassaan and Nancy will introduce their music making processes and workflow, and Hassaan will discuss how to repurpose old and accessible gear and the right to repair movement—no gear required! The workshop takes place at TakeHome (100 Arthur Street, 6th floor) at 5pm and is suitable to all skill levels. Currently based in Tiotia:ke, colonially montreal, hassaan has been making sounds for over 25 years. Staring her journey in Lahore as a metal guitar player, over the years she’s bloomed in to a multi-instrumentalist producer and composer with her work in improvisational powerhouses like Satan’s Chewtoys (winnipeg), visual direction with Overload (Lahore) and after many years of wait, she’s laying the foundation to launch her cassette label for marginalized musicians in montreal/winnipeg/lahore. As a staunch advocate of the Right to Repair movement, hassaan has specialized in keeping old smart devices functioning and useable as an effort to reduce e waste, she believes in the refusal to participate in the unethical extraction of cobalt through genocide, exploitation and child labor in Congo perpetuated by far west nations, their evil tech companies like apple, google, samsung and many others. Nancy Nguyen is primarily a visual artist and traditional East Asian art enthusiast. She has been practicing various traditional forms of art, such as sumi-e ink painting, Ikebana (Japanese flower arranging) and more recently, music production, while living in Vancouver, BC where most of her musical influence came from. She started experimenting with GarageBand during quarantine in 2020 and won third place in a beat making competition in her hometown Winnipeg, MB in 2024. Her music can be described as experimental, South East Asian, and nasty.
