The exhibition located in the West Wing is a co-curatorial project in collaboration with MakeRoom Inc. Union’s relationship with MakeRoom Inc was born out of a shared mission to create spaces for local artists that are inclusive, diverse and equitable. This year the call asked artists to respond to the following questions: What does culture mean to you? How do you honour the past?
The featured works of artists Destinie Adélakun, Pixel Heller, Segun Caezar, Heritier Bilaka, Rico Poku and Camille Kiffin encourage exploration of the connections between the past and present, and the traditions that have shaped culture through time. They offer a glimpse into the enduring legacy and boundless creativity of Black communities.
In addition to the group exhibition, Union has selected special guest artist Jordan Sook to present the solo exhibition, Nothing More Nothing Less, a collection of images of butterflies showcased in various mediums throughout Union for people to discover. The butterflies, containing the artist’s signature hand painted spots, represent self-expression and the joyfulness of the human spirit. Each piece merges entomology with curiosity, exploring themes of metamorphosis, transformation and evolution.
Opening to the public on Wednesday, February 12, at 6pm with an artist panel and musical celebration. The exhibitions are open daily during station operating hours and are located on the ground level in the West Wing and Oak Room. Additionally, Jordan Sook’s works extend to the station’s exterior banners along Front Street, as well as digital screens and a hoarding wall in the new lower area of the station. Admission is free, and the exhibition runs until August 2025.
