In this workshop, we will explore analog printing with various flowers and plants to create a one-of-a-kind print. Monoprints create a singular, unique print that reflect an impression of the materials used.

All materials will be provided.

Optional:
Participants are welcome to bring additional materials for printing - botanical or otherwise.

Workshop Instructor:
Breanne Jeethan (she/her) is a multi-disciplinary artist and healthcare worker based in Mississauga/Toronto, Ontario. Her experience in graphic design has projected her practice in a mix of analog and digital printmaking. Her practice explores themes of the body, medicine, and trauma with the use of internal imagery like X-rays, ultrasound scans, and angiogram brain scans. She has displayed her work at Durham Art Gallery, Durham; Xpace Cultural Centre, Toronto; Northern Contemporary Gallery, Toronto; and Small Arms Inspection Building, Mississauga. She is the recipient of the Sylvia Knight Award in Fine Arts (2025).

Thank you to all the visitors this weekend - we had a fantastic opening for Breanne Jeethan’s solo show The System is Broken. The exhibition runs from now until June 7th, 2026.

The series represents abstract scenes of the clinical workspace and is a response to the fast-paced, stressful environment that is rife with trauma, high emotions, and anguish.

Working between the emergency room and her studio, the artist uses the symbiotic relationship between the two workplaces as a fuel to create her work.

The System is Broken is a body of work based on the artist’s experiences as a worker in the Emergency Department of a hospital. The series represents abstract scenes of the clinical workspace and is a response to the fast-paced, stressful environment that is rife with trauma, high emotions, and anguish. Working between the emergency room and her studio, the artist uses the symbiotic relationship between the two workplaces as a fuel to create her work. By manipulating and distorting found imagery created by various medical technologies, abnormalities in the imagery are created to signal the bureaucratic structures and power imbalances that undermine healthcare. The resulting series speaks to both the artist’s continuous navigating of her state of in-betweenness, but also to the overarching hierarchical nature of the medical system.

Last weekend we had an amazing time at 's artist talk. From inspiration to ideation, from himself and into his work - Nicholas talked about it all. If you haven't seen the exhibition - marginalia - yet, make sure to come on by! The exhibition is up until March 29th - only two weeks left!!

One of the best things about having a talk about photography is the awesome photos taken of the talk. Image 2 is taken and edited by photographer .haines8 who attended the talk.

Thanks everyone for coming!
