About Ruby Singh Ruby Singh is a multi-award-winning transdisciplinary artist, performer, composer, and producer residing on the unceded lands of the xwməθkwəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and səlilwətaɬ Nations (Vancouver, BC). His body of work, which spans music, poetry, photography, and film, is a journey through themes of ecology, migration, interdependence, and justice, connecting audiences to myth, memory, and speculative visions of the future. Drawing from the sights and sonic textures of both the natural and cosmic realms, Singh plays within the harmonies of distant celestial bodies with the familiar rhythms of rain, dawn choruses of birds, and the pulse of urban life. This fusion of sounds allows Singh to create immersive, hybrid compositions that speak to the layered complexity of human experience. www.rubysingh.ca About the Exhibition Star Witnesses assembles works by a constellation of artists whose insightful observations of the cosmos bring new understandings of exploratory and migratory movements on Planet Earth. The artists involved present fragments of found and newly produced photographic evidence showing planets, moons, constellations in distant galaxies, and the light of our closest star – the Sun – to address earthly concerns. The title alludes to the artists’ precise visions – honed at the technical limits of photography – and to how encounters with their artworks may transform audiences into ‘star witnesses’ in turn. Certain works in the exhibition evolve in close dialogue with scientific imaging, while others go beyond or deviate from the focus of telescopic cameras, the logic of astronomy, and the path of satellites. Together, they attest to the fact that there is no universal way of gazing at the universe. Each work offers the image of the cosmos as material evidence for a distinctive perspective, worldview, or imaginary. They give substance to vital histories, which struggle to see the proverbial light of day: one woman’s survival in an internment camp; one man’s narrow escape from a white mob; underexposed connections between a war in the Middle East and peace in a mid-sized German town; an artist’s moment of grace on top of a moonlit mountain, far from home. Questions of POV are paramount: much depends on where on Earth we – the humans, the stardust – were born and where we have travelled, migrated, settled recently, or remained for generations, if not millennia. Dark matter abounds. And this too is evidence awaiting fresh interpretations.
