As part of the Prairie Webinar Series, CARFAC Alberta, CARFAC Saskatchewan and CARFAC Manitoba are pleased to present:
RE-ESTABLISHING ARTISTIC PRACTICE IN CANADA with Nozomi Kamei & Patrick Fernandez on Wednesday October 8, 2025 at 6:30pm (CST).
The Prairie Webinar Series is proud to prioritize the expertise of artists working in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, promoting discussion with our provincial neighbours on various topics while sharing investment in prairie perspectives. The formula is simple: look forward to two 25-minute presentations from two artists speaking to their practice and their experience with a given discussion topic, followed by a 30-minute Q&A period.

NOZOMI KAMEI: Earlier in her life, Nozomi’s creativity was found in many forms — from origami paper crafting, to photography and facilitating health, wellness, and rehabilitation programs. These experiences encouraged her hands-on approach and her belief in the connection between creativity, nature, people’s lives, and well-being, which continue to influence her art practice today. As an immigrant from Japan and a self-taught artist and photographer, she began committing to her creative journey in 2021. The following year, she started exhibiting her work in Edmonton and transitioned her career into art. Since then, she has participated in over 50 exhibitions, including multiple solo shows, led a grant-supported project, and completed an arts internship. Known for her recent explorations in film, alternative photographic processes, and community-based projects, she brings curiosity, persistence, and a love of hands-on creativity to all she does.

A native of Pangasinan, Philippines, his colourful paintings uses symbolism and reimagined folklore imagery as a means of storytelling. His works are based on personal experiences that deal with displacement and adaptation, using circumstances as turning points for growth.
