Seated Conversation, Alicia Henry: Witnessing

Accès

À propos

Join us at the Kamloops Art Gallery for a seated conversation between Alicia Henry and Daina Augaitis, Guest Curator.

For the last two decades, Alicia Henry has been exploring unconventional approaches to portraiture, using the face to represent something that is hidden, revealed, and performed. In Witnessing, Henry’s compelling compositions are drawn from a multitude of references: the artist’s own memories, her collection of West African masks, and events on the street or on television. Imbued with her perspective as an African American woman, the figures assert themselves as timeless witnesses reflecting a variety of personal and social histories.
