Call for Participants: The Water Lentil Trials
Thursday, April 23, 2026
Session Times: 12 pm, 2:30 pm, 5 pm

What happens when duckweed shifts from pond surface to plate?

Water lentil (Lemna minor), often called duckweed, is one of the smallest and fastest growing flowering plants on Earth. It has been studied as a high-protein food source and as a bioremediation plant. Yet for many of us, it remains unfamiliar, or even unthinkable, as food.

The Water Lentil Trials invites participants into a paid tasting and discussion for Latent Swamp, exploring the water lentil as a site of curiosity, ecological possibility, and cultural imagination.

PAVED Arts is happy to announce our 2026 Members Micro Grant recipient — Soheila Fallah @falah.soheila!

With this grant, Soheila Fallah will use our production centre and grant funding to complete her project ‘Hypnopompic Fragments’.

‘Hypnopompic Fragments’ is a multimedia installation exploring memory, displacement, and the persistence of lived space. The work consists of fragmented architectural forms that resemble familiar environments without fully functioning as them. Stairways that lead nowhere, doorways that open onto absence, and tower-like structures appear as parallel architectures—spaces that feel recognizable yet remain unusable.

Soheila Fallah is an Iranian-born multidisciplinary artist based in Saskatoon. Working primarily through sculpture and installation, her practice explores memory, displacement, and the emotional charge of architectural space. Drawing from Iranian heritage and personal experiences of migration, she creates immersive environments that ask how space holds memory, and how memory reshapes space. Her work invites viewers into quiet, contemplative encounters that blur the boundaries between physical structure and emotional landscape.
