About
Explore the creativity, memory, and connections that emerged during our Artist in Residence workshop series in a heartfelt showcase celebrating the mixed media family portraits created by participants, and the personal and migration stories that inspired them.
Come to witness, share, and build this collective archive of memory and community.
About the Artist:
Janice Reid is a Brampton based artist exploring memory, migration, and ancestral knowledge through storytelling. Her work engages with archives, community narratives, and visual art to uncover hidden histories, particularly within Caribbean and diasporic communities. Through photography, research, and workshops, she creates spaces for reflection, dialogue, and reconnection with the past.
