Rooting for Reclamation
UVic Legacy Art Galleries, October 2 – December 7, 2024
Rooting for Reclamation is a space of Black reclamation by guest curator Madison Bridal. Featuring local artists Aya Behr, Kemi Craig, Nathan Smith, and Tajah Olson, this exhibition showcases each artist’s personal interpretation of what Black reclamation means to them. Themes of identity, connection to ancestry, Black beauty, Black joy, strength, representation, community, and home are all explored through the meaningful pieces shared in this exhibition.
For this exhibition I worked closely with curator Madison Bridal to design gallery interpretation. I also researched and tested the technical and visitor experience elements of artist Kemi Craig's augmented reality sculpture.
