๐๐ก๐จ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ช๐ฎ๐๐๐ซ ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ฒ?, my very first multimedia solo exhibition, opens today at the McClure Gallery, Visual Arts Centre. The past few weeks have been extremely challenging in all matters of life. This being said, I am thrilled to have gathered all this work under one roof. There are 14 pieces of photography, textile, silk painting, sound composition, video and in-situ installation that collectively offer an expression of island sovereignty framed through decolonial mappings of the queer body. This exhibition would not have been possible without the support of the @canada.council, Rachel Habrih, Barbara Wisnoski, Corina Kennedy, Cedric Laurenty, Amber Berson, Patrick Ranger, Greg Benanti, Ashvin Ramdin, Mervyn Gopal, Alejandro de Leon, Gabriel Ledoux, Jon Cleveland, Danny Payne and Alex Nitsiou to whom I am infinitely grateful โค๏ธ๐คฒ๐พ ยท ยท ยท ยท ๐๐ก๐จ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ช๐ฎ๐๐๐ซ ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ฒ?, ma toute premiรจre exposition multimรฉdia solo, ouvre aujourd'hui ร la Galerie McClure, Centre des Arts Visuels.
