SUMMARY:Jeff Thomas: The Indigenous Map Maker’s Room
DESCRIPTION:Jeff Thomas is a nationally recognized photo-based artist\, writer\, and curator living in Ottawa\, with work featured in major art collections in Canada and the United States. \nIn his work\, he examines historical and contemporary views of Indigeneity and addresses the impact of issues such as urbanization\, land ownership\, and historical ways of representation. \nThe exhibition The Indigenous Map Maker’s Room shows work from his larger series\, Indians on Tour\, which features Indian figurines posed in front of national landscapes and monuments.  In his photographs\, Thomas reframes the stereotypical representation of the figures\, presenting them as tourists in a contemporary environment\, challenging preconceptions of Indigenous peoples and Indigenous history. \n“His work presents re-contextualized historical images of Indigenous Peoples in a contemporary environment\,” Latcham’s CEO Margaret Wallace said. “Bringing Jeff Thomas’s work to Latcham Art Centre is such an important opportunity to acknowledge Indigenous history.” \nThe exhibition runs October 30 to January 2 at the Latcham Art Centre. The opening reception takes place November 5 from 7 to 9 p.m. \nFor more information or to register for the opening reception\, visit www.latchamartcentre.ca. \n

SUMMARY:Live Music Returns to Downtown Markham
DESCRIPTION:SUREFIRE SWEAT \nOct 30\, 2021| 9 – 11 PM \nMade up of a diverse and multi-generational roster of Toronto-based artists — including Juno-nominated drummer Larry Graves\, Surefire Sweat draws on an amalgam of Funk\, Jazz\, Brass Band\, Blues and Worldly rhythms. Inventive arrangements act as a vehicle for the all-star cast of musicians to engage listeners through improvisational explorations and danceable arrangements. Despite being dominantly instrumental in nature\, each of the group’s unique pieces is propelled by a narrative: colourful journeys that emote real time metaphors of the human condition. \nThe band released their first full-length album of original music in 2019\, which has been heard on radio across the globe. The group is currently active performing at various venues across Canada in support of the new album. Recent highlights include appearances at The TD Toronto Jazz Festival\, The Guelph Jazz Festival\, Toronto’s Small World Music Festival and Princess Margaret Cancer Centre’s Jazz for the Soul Music Series. \n
