For the seventh iteration of c.a.f.f., U/P’s monthly (e)merging and experimental jazz nite, we’re featuring our very own Ben Frost with Eli Davidovici, Bernie Arai, and John Nicholson. One band, two sets, with a little break in between.

FYI: c.a.f.f. will be taking a little hiatus over the summer months to make space for our upcoming exhibition Solar Bee Garden Tea Zen REMIX. If you haven’t had a chance to make it to a c.a.f.f. yet, we recommend making this the one!

Solar Bee Garden Tea Zen REMIX
Lam Wong & Peter Courtemanche (Absolute Value of Noise)
May 30 - August 15, 2026
Opening May 30, 1-4pm

Solar Bee Garden Tea Zen REMIX is a site-responsive, multi-media collaboration between longtime friends. Among their highly varied interests and distinct practices, Peter and Lam share a dedication to tea — its cultivation, preparation, offering, and ingestion — as a medium and contemplative methodology.

Moving between gallery and garden, the exhibition draws on ceremony, analogue audio/visual experimentation, and garden-centred practice as modes of relational and ecological inquiry. This marks Wong and Courtemanche’s first formal collaboration, a meeting of two very distinct artistic languages held together by philosophical kinship and the patient time and texture of the garden.

We are also pleased to announce that T’uy’t’tanat-Cease Wyss & Senaqwila Wyss will be joining us to facilitate an iteration of their ReciprociTea project — more details to come.

A slate of special events will be also be scheduled over the summer, including Zen Buddhist tea ceremony, a film screening, an artist talk, and a special performance featuring sound artist Anna Friz.

Dates to follow in a separate announcement. We look forward to celebrating summer with you!
