SUMMARY:Shared Vessels: The Architecture of Collective Rituals
DESCRIPTION:Shared Vessels: The Architecture of Collective Rituals\nOpening
  reception: Thursday November 20th\, 2025\, 3:00pm\nOn view: November 20th
  – December 5th\nThe University of the Fraser Valley’s School of Creat
 ive Arts (SoCA) is proud to present Shared Vessels. Based in the critical 
 frameworks of Nicolas Bourriaud’s “Relational Aesthetics” and Claire
  Bishop’s subsequent critique\, Shared Vessels presents work by Professi
 onal Skills for Visual Artists students\, under the guidance of Dr. Candac
 e Couse\, that transforms viewers into essential collaborators. The exhibi
 tion explores a central question: does meaningful connection arise from ha
 rmony or from friction? Moving beyond static objects\, the show creates ar
 chitectures for collective ritual\, challenging you to complete the works 
 through your physical and critical engagement.\n\nSome pieces function as 
 participatory “micro-utopias\,” modeling a more connected world throug
 h shared\, harmonious encounters. In direct dialogue\, others embrace anta
 gonism to challenge us\, exposing the boundaries and exclusions inherent i
 n community. Together\, these works investigate the very nature of social 
 experience\, creating a living laboratory for collective emotion\, reflect
 ion\, and debate. Your participation is the final element of the artwork\,
  making this exhibition an active space where the true crime is passivity.
 \n\nThe exhibition opens on November 20th at the S’eliyemetaxwtexw Art G
 allery\, located on the UFV Abbotsford campus\, and runs through until Dec
 ember 5th.\n\nAn opening reception will be held on November 20th at 3:00 p
 m in the gallery. All are welcome to attend\, and admission is free.\n\nFe
