Hyphenated brings together over forty works by Lana Matskiv that explore the hyphen as both lived experience and poetic metaphor. Through paintings, drawings, collages, and installations, the exhibition reflects on hyphenated Canadian identities—linking ancestry and belonging—not as division, but as connection. Extending beyond ethnicity, the works consider relationships across time, land, memory, and shared human aspirations. Grounded in Chatham-Kent, itself a hyphenated place, the exhibition reflects Canada’s layered cultural fabric. Drawing on Ukrainian and contemporary influences, Matskiv’s practice affirms identity as an evolving space of collective belonging and strength.
