Artist Talks

Join us to celebrate the first year of MUNFLA’s local artists in residence program! The evening will feature presentations from five local artists — Axel Belgarde, Elijah Martel, Baptiste Neis, Heather Patey, and Sabrina Pinksen — who’ve spent the last 9 months sifting through MUNFLA’s collections in support of their own diverse research projects. This is a rare opportunity to learn about the relationships between archival work and creative practices in a local context; we’d love to see you there!

Date: Tuesday, October 28, 2025
Time: 6:00-8:00 p.m.
Location: ED4038, G.A. Hickman (Education) Building, Memorial University
