Richmond BC, Canada #richmondartgallerybc
Curated by Zoë Chan
Representing a wide range of perspectives, this group exhibition will present artists who engage with both lived experiences and collective histories in their art practices. Some artists embrace an autobiographical or confessional vein, drawing from memoirs, diaries, and photo-albums, while others mine existing archives and ephemera found in the public realm, employing a more documentary approach.
Working across diverse media including photography, video, printmaking, embroidery, and collage, these artists bring into focus myriad memories and microhistories revolving around such varied topics as the intersection of class shame and diasporic experience; queer coming-of-age in conservative Alberta; the exploitation of Punjabi students and migrant workers in Canada; and fears and insecurities that undergird artistic life.
Artists include Simranpreet Anand, Jo-Anne Balcaen, August Klintberg, Anne Koizumi, Lindsay McIntyre, and Gonzalo Reyes Rodriguez.
This exhibition is part of the 2026 Capture Photography Festival Selected Exhibition Program.
