SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Rosalie Favell | Belonging (1982 - 2024)
DESCRIPTION:KWAG invites you to the opening reception for Rosalie Favell’s ‘Belonging (1982 – 2024)’. ‘Belonging’ is the first retrospective of renowned Red River Métis artist Rosalie Favell\, showcasing a powerful curated selection of her lens-based works from 1982 to 2024. This exhibition celebrates Favell’s groundbreaking photographic practice—from seminal series like Living Evidence and Plain(s) Warrior Artist to her expansive archive Facing the Camera—which invites us to bear witness and explore the complex themes of identity\, empowerment\, same-sex desire\, community and the nuanced search for belonging through a lens that is both deeply personal and subtly subversive.
