About
Delve into the rich tapestry of meanings that flowers hold across different cultures, exploring how delicate blooms convey emotions, messages, and memories.
Set within the artistic duo's exhibition Accidental Forever at the Art Gallery of Regina, the performance invites audiences of all ages to engage with the sensory power of fresh-cut flowers. The artists create an immersive multisensory experience, crushing flowers to release their scents. This seemingly violent act of destruction transforms into a celebration of the fragility of nature and the complexities of our relationship with the environment.
Language of Flowers encourages reflection on our environmental footprint and our connections to the natural world and each other. As the audience is enveloped in the aroma of freshly crushed blooms, they are prompted to consider how to genuinely communicate with and value others, including the nonhuman, in Language of Flowers.

Art Gallery of Regina
Located on Treaty 4 Territory, the Art Gallery of Regina (formerly The Rosemont Art Gallery) shares the artwork and experiences of artists living in Saskatchewan, allowing viewers to recognize themselves and gain powerful insights into other people's stories. Founded in the early 1970s as a community-focused satellite of a larger art gallery, the AGR continues to support historically excluded artists and artistic disciplines and create ways for people to discover the importance of art in our lives.
The AGR is a tenant in the Neil Balkwill Civic Arts Centre.
