Meet our 2025 OUTstages Resident Artists & Project
We are thrilled to announce the project and the artist duo for our 2025 OUTstages Residency Program, who will be developing new queer work throughout 2025. They receive a residency fee, studio time, artistic & production mentorship, and a public showing during this season. Stay tuned for more details on this duo, their project and in-development showings of their new work.
&& is the collaborative pseudonym of artists Dillon Lew’chuk and Kegan McFadden – Apartment #6
For this residency, they will be developing a collaborative theatre piece, Apartment #6, which explores the nuances of queer intimacy—unfiltered, unresolved, and deeply human. Refusing to sanitize desire or simplify the complexities of queer relationships, this work instead holds space for the raw, the tender, and the in-between.
About the artists
&& is the collaborative pseudonym of artists Dillon Lew’chuk and Kegan McFadden. Inspired by queer artistic partnerships of the past who blurred lines of life and art, particularly the playful spirit of the Fluxus movement, && make drawing, bookworks, and printmaking through an experimental lens. Their work has been featured in the First Islands Printmaking Biennale (Duncan, BC, 2024) and SweetPea Gallery’s GAZING exhibition (Victoria, 2024), and is slated for a solo show at Fifty Fifty Arts Collective in June 2025 as part of the Victoria Festival of Queer Arts.
Rooted in documenting their love affair, &&’s practice strips back to the essentials—materials, form, and process—while centering queer visibility and joy. In 2025, they are expanding into film and theatre, responding to the increasing erasure of queer existence. This shift embraces risk and experimentation, positioning live performance and cinema as intimate yet far- reaching forms of activism.
