Drew this last week in memory of Don Perro, one of my animation teachers from Capilano University and beacon for our local industry in Vancouver, Jamaica and wherever he went to.

Before getting into teaching, Don was a freelance artist who found work at Lacewood Productions working on The Raccoons, The Nutcracker Prince and uncredited on Ren and Stimpy's earliest episodes. He then went to Delaney and Friends in Vancouver animating for commercials.

I am eternally grateful to Don and the other teachers for giving us the learning opportunity.

Rest in Peace, Don Perro - Canadian Animation Legend

I just learned that my animation teacher from Capilano University, Don Perro, has passed away. He was a kind, soft spoken man who liked to talk about his champion agility sheltie & his time working on shows like Ren & Stimpy and The Raccoons. Don was the beating heart of Cap U's animation program. I wasn't a great student of Don's; my then-undiagnosed social anxiety & neurodivergencies kept me from ever entering the Vancouver animation industry after I graduated in 2010. Instead of creating a final film for Grad Show, I published a damned book - a literary book, not even an illustrated one.

Despite this, he still watched my career; we were friends on Facebook. He was a good dude, & I'm really sorry that I was often so nervous around him (I was afraid of him due to my social anxiety,) not to mention kind of defiant as I once rebelliously wrote a lengthy tutorial about how animals move - particularly why wrist/fetlock joints are still important with quadruped characters - on his whiteboard for his 1st year students when I was a 2nd year.

I'll always remember how in my 1st year he spent about an hour getting us all settled & working one day, only for a 2nd Year to come charging in exclaiming that there was free leftover food in the conference room down the hallway; my entire class bolted for that food like a pack of starving feral dogs! (This is probably one of my favourite recollections of Don, and my 1st year of animation school in general.) The man had had to have had some serious patience to tolerate spending every day with a bunch of intensely nerdy, hyperactive, sleep-deprived, extremely food motivated students every day.

My heart goes out to Don's family, friends, & the rest of the Canadian animation community for his loss. 💔

WINDOW 57: VIVIENNE BESSETTE (JANUARY 28 - MARCH 17, 2023)

WINNIPEG’S ONLY 24 HOUR ARTIST-RUN CENTRE PRESENTS VIVIENNE BESSETTE

Location: Artspace Building, corner of Bannatyne @ Arthur [sidewalk level]

window is pleased to present our fifty-seventh installation:

~~

Image descriptions: 

[Image 1]: An oversize poster hangs in the window. It is green throughout with details in red, yellow, purple, and blue. It reads "COMPOST HOTLINE. Dial Now!" Strips dangle at the bottom with a phone number on some of them, as if ready to tear off. The imagery includes a red phone, compost, and superimposed images of flowers and organic material.

[Image 2]: A regular size version of Bessette's poster is stapled up on an outdoor bulletin, among other posters.

~~

Party line, 2023

Material list: RJ-45 talking to RJ-11, exponential growth of compost slime, spiritual technology of the tear-off flyer, landlordism, call waiting as extra sensory perception, antidote.

By Vivienne Bessette. On view until March 17, 2023.

~~

Artist statement:

The compost hotline is just a phone number but it is also a network of gardens, an imaginary friend and an always-developing informal online collab space where artists, gardeners and community organizers can temporarily freeze the flow of the internet (spirit net) to reflect and share research, personal archives, or the 2am–4am late-night google unconscious. It is meant as an alternative to death for precious trans liminal space, digital scraps, not-to-be-forgotten embodiments, or otherwise entombed hard drive materials. To apply, upload files into the google drive as a constellation of web links, screen shots, images, a recording, or text about what is keeping you up at night.  ~~ About the artist:

Vivienne Bessette (b. 1982) is a queer settler & interdisciplinary artist whose ancestry ties them to Ireland, Croatia, France, and the Metis settlements of Cayer, MB, and Red River. Bessette incorporates drawing, painting, woodworking, sculpting, dying, writing, fermenting and building relationships with plants into their practice. They work in and out of the studio, the garden and the kitchen, developing sustainable and alternative modes of food production and utilizing unconventional materials. The strength of entangled and interdependent community is at the stomach of Bessette’s process. Bessette holds a BFA from Simon Fraser University. They have been involved with multiple garden and food-based collectives, including Commons Garden at Sahalli Park Community Garden, Garden Don’t Care, Looking at the Garden Fence, and the project What artists bring to the table for the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria with Derya Akay and Kurtis Wilson. Bessette was a Food Coordinator for Slow Waves Small Projects on Mayne Island. They have been published in The Capilano Review (“Pattern of Pears,” 2020 and “Organize Your Building with the Support of the Vancouver Tenants Union with the Belvedere Residents,” 2018). They live and work on the stolen and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and səlí̓lwətaʔɬ Nations.

window is located on Treaty 1 Territory, the original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples and the Homeland of the Métis Nation. window is co-curated by Noor Bhangu, Mariana Muñoz Gomez, and Jennifer Smith.

This installation was made possible with the generous support of the Winnipeg Arts Council.

COMMUNITY PROFILE

“Creativity isn't just when you're writing poetry, it's about how you live your life.”

Meet Jai, the epitome of a “multi-pie guy”. His full life is a tapestry deeply woven with creativity, innovation, and community. A few of Jai’s pursuits span the realms of poetry, music, co-housing, writing, and cooking. His mind is constantly innovating and creativity is a part of his daily life. He also finds solace in slowing down to create space to fully savour his creative process. 

As a co-cordinator and instructor at the Capilano University, IDEA School of Design, he co-developed the Interaction Design program. Jai works in user experience (UX) research to help people and organizations discover how their products and services interact with people. People and technology are at the heart of his career. 

Jai’s heart also beats for service - he is a respite foster care parent and a board member with Brightside Community Housing as well as a volunteer at MOSAIC, assisting newcomers to Canada find job opportunities. In every facet of his life, Jai stays true to his values whether that be writing music or helping a family acclimate to a new country, he believes that life is an act of creativity. 

How does your creativity flow shift between all your different projects? 

“My values of collaboration, convening and creativity are at the center of everything. I’ve always worked in collaboration whether as a composer writing music for dance and theatre, creative writing, or in the work I do. And convening, I love bringing people together. I often have people for dinner and organize salons to help make sense of the world. It is bridging like-minded people together. Creativity is the last pillar of that for me and it is imbued in everything that I do. Creativity isn't just when you're writing poetry, it's about how you live your life.”

How do you personally define creativity? 

“Maybe it’s an approach to the world. Creativity is a mindset where you see everything as endless opportunities for creation and imagination. I think our culture doesn’t encourage people to play like when we were young. Children are always curious, sharing, understanding, trying things out, and playing. And somewhere along the line, we get told that we have to be good at something for it to be good. You don't. Fail creatively!”

So, how do you manage to not lose that sense of play and wonder? 

“I’m pretty silly, always tweaking the nose of whatever I’m doing.  And maybe it's a mindset. It’s the way I see the world. I see the world in abundance of endless opportunity. Lately, I've been feeling overwhelmed with all the terrible things happening in the world. I think one of the things that we can do is be creative and bring something beautiful into the world. Being creative is making a choice to be optimistic.”

Can you tell me about a time you used your creativity to overcome adversity? 

“The pandemic was a hard time for everyone. My friend and I created a project called the Power of Portrait, and we put out a call to everyone to submit a photo and a story of how they were dealing with COVID-19. When all the businesses were boarded up downtown, we had this huge display of all the portraits that linked to their stories on the website. We wanted to create something that might capture the hearts and minds of people and inspire togetherness despite being a part. It was a beautiful display of collective creativity.”

What advice do you have for someone afraid to express their creative voice? 

“First off, if people are feeling like they are not creative, ask yourself, “Where is that coming from?”. And be confident that you have something to say, something to add to this world. And then perhaps take a second to slow down and take a look at what you’re already doing. Reframe your thinking of what is creative. Whether that's cooking, arranging the pillows on your bed, or the way you dress; these are all creative acts.”

Is PTE accepted in Canada?

If you're a non-native English speaker planning to study in Canada, you may wonder what English language proficiency tests are accepted in the country. While the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is Canada's most commonly accepted English language test, another option is available: the Pearson Test of English (PTE). In this blog post, we'll look closely at PTE and explore whether it is accepted in Canada. Get your desired PTE scores with just a lick. For all your PTE related problems, visit: aiproficiencyhub.com

What is PTE?

PTE stands for Pearson Test of English. It is an English language proficiency test developed by Pearson Education to assess the English language skills of non-native English speakers. PTE is recognised by universities, colleges, and governments worldwide and is accepted for visa and immigration purposes in several countries, including Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Get free PTE exam papers

PTE is a computer-based test that measures a test taker's proficiency in four areas: speaking, writing, reading, and listening. The test assesses a test-takers ability to communicate effectively in English in academic and professional settings. PTE test scores are typically valid for up to two years after the test date.

Canada Accepts PTE

Are you looking to study in Canada? If so, you may have heard of the Pearson Test of English (PTE) and wondered if it is accepted by Canadian universities. The answer is yes, PTE Academic is one of the leading providers of English language proficiency tests accepted by most Canadian universities and colleges. It is the best option to help you obtain your acceptance letter from a designated learning institute in Canada. Nearly 90% of Canadian universities and colleges accept PTE today, making it the best option to receive your acceptance letter from many of the top Canadian universities.

The PTE test is the most standardized test in the world and is accepted by 90% of universities and the best colleges. In addition to being accepted by universities for student visas, it is also commonly considered as an input medium for many countries. However, please note that your qualification may not always be acceptable for a Canada PR visa. The PTE test is not considered a test of English proficiency for individuals and does not contribute to qualifying for Canadian permanent residency.

Therefore, it is essential to ask about your university's PTE testing policy before applying. Few universities in Canada, such as Algonquin College, Capilano University, Conestoga College, Georgian College and many more, accept PTE scores instead of IELTS. However, although the exam is improving by leaps and bounds, it is still a long way to go before it is accepted for public relations reasons in Canada. Due to COVID-19, employment in Canada had increased dramatically and many workers in the fields of food, retail and accommodation were laid off. While the PTE score is counted as a score of the English language proficiency test for obtaining the Canadian student visa, the minimum PTE score for the Canadian student visa is generally in the hands of the Canadian university you apply to. One important thing to keep in mind when applying for PR in Canada is that a PTE score for PR in Canada is not accepted, no matter how high your score is.

Canada needs candidates to take the IELTS general test in order to consider them eligible for immigration. Therefore, the best courses to study in Canada are those that result in jobs that are in high demand and those that are also well-paid. PTE Academic is one of the most convenient language proficiency tests that Indian students can take advantage of to obtain their study permit and study in Canada. University of Windsor and Regina, Humber University, Conestoga University, CDI University, University of Canada, University of St Michel, Alexander College and many more universities accept PTE. Confirm that you have the money ready to finance at least the first year of study and live in Canada. However, if you aspire to migrate to Canada or New Zealand, you can face the PTE exam that is valid in these countries. You can start the Canada immigration process with IELTS, because PTE is not acceptable in Canada for the PR visa. In conclusion, while PTE Academic is widely accepted by leading Canadian institutions and universities for entry into undergraduate and graduate programs in Canada, it cannot be used for a Canada PR visa.

Therefore, it's important to ask about your university's PTE testing policy before applying.
