Throwback ACM Moments: ACM Open House 2026

On Wednesday, September 23 at ACM Open House, we have welcomed over 100 students to our annual meet and greet networking event to celebrate the start of the 2026-2027 academic year. We invited prof. Thy Phu, our ACM Department Chair, along with Doris McCarthy Gallery to start off with opening speeches to welcome new students into our ACM community.

We have held this event annually in Ralph Campbell Lounge—inviting our faculty, staff and students clubs to join us and share this moment together—first year students get to enjoy a bingo game, and engage with the department in a conversational setting. This has been a wonderful evening for many first year students to familiarize themselves with the department as they start their academic journey at the ACM.

Visiting Artist Lecture Series 2026–2027: Artist Talk with Chris Mendoza

In this year’s VALS, we will be exploring topics and questions with 8 different visiting artists throughout the year on:

- How histories are carried across generations
- How communities are sustained through relationships to place
- How more just and resilient futures can emerge from renewed ways of relating to the land

Date: Wednesday, October 21
Time: 1:00 - 2:00pm
Location: AA 304

Sign up: https://lnkd.in/gkG2d3e3

Our upcoming artist will be...

Chris Mendoza (@c__m__c__m__c__m) is an artist and cultural worker based in Toronto. His current work is centered around waterways and urban ecologies, combining exhibitions, performances, writing, and public programming as modes of affective research and place-based learning.

This year’s theme:
Stories Held by the Land

Our relationships to land are shaped by history, memory, and the places we come from. They are formed through stories of migration and belonging, and through the ways our ancestors lived with, cared for, and drew sustenance from the land.

As questions of land use, displacement, and ecological degradation become increasingly urgent, how do artists engage with the land as a site of remembrance, reciprocity, and resistance? How can artistic practice challenge dominant narratives of ownership and extraction while imagining more reciprocal ways of living grounded in kinship, care, and connection?

An annual series organized in collaboration with Doris McCarthy Gallery.
