RML3 Undercurrents and Folds was hosted collaboratively by Lois Klassen (Vancouver) and Deanne Achong (Newfoundland) in 2024. From either side of Turtle Island, Klassen and Achong assembled a group of artists who offer creative responses to topics of displacement, diaspora, arrivals and failed arrivals, travel over sovereign Indigenous territory, and the violence of forcible containment caused by colonizing states. The series was supported by BC Arts Council (Individual Arts Award); Canada Council for the Arts (Research Creation, Explore and Create grant); SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowship at Critical Media Art Studio, School of Interactive Art and Technology, SFU; Centre for Inter-Media Arts and Decolonial Expression (CiMADE), NSCAD; SITE/ation Studio, UBCO; and, Light Factory Publications.
