Sandra Brewster: Take a Little Trip
Kenderdine Art Gallery, Sastatoon
May 12 – August 25, 2023
Opening Reception: Friday May 12, 6:30 pm
Sandra Brewster is a Toronto-based artist who foregrounds Black diasporic experience in her multidisciplinary practice. Brewster focuses on identity and representation, as well as the depiction of movement and gesture, resulting in a re-presentation of the portrait. She uses specific landscapes as metaphors, and manipulates old photographs to centre the people within them. Born to Guyanese parents, a series of her works refers to the migration of Caribbean people from the region, suggesting a formation of identity that encompasses multiple geographies and temporalities; a sense of identity that exists within the diaspora.
