On January 16, 2026, I stopped by SPAO’s new exhibition, Slumber Party.
The exhibition features photo-based works by nine Canadian female and gender-nonconforming artists.
Leaning into whimsy, fantasy, and camp, Slumber Party revels in the subversive power of girlhood aesthetics—often dismissed as trivial or unserious. Through performativity and play, the artists explore how gender identities are shaped, challenged, and continually remade.
The exhibition runs until March 8, 2026. Be sure to check out the gallery.
