CAFKA.25: Field Guide to the Understory
June 7 - July 26, 2025
CAFKA.25 draws inspiration from the intricate ecosystems of the forest understory, where life flourishes in the fleeting glow of dappled light and where intricate microhabitats thrive in the shadow of giants. Join us this summer in spaces around Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge.
