Two Pansies is a vibrant, queer-themed art exhibition by emerging Halifax artists Autumn Star and Shay Donovan at the Saint Mary’s University Art Gallery (until December 7, 2025).
The show transforms the gallery into an immersive, dreamlike domestic space that explores what “home” means for queer people, featuring sculptures, paintings, and a film narrated by two pansy-headed alter egos. Built largely on-site, the installation invites visitors to sit, reflect, and inhabit a world of comfort, whimsy, and chosen family—blending playfulness, ecofeminism, and vulnerability in a celebration of identity and belonging.
