LIDO PIMIENTA: THE FABRIC. THE ANGER. THE RIVER
Lido Pimienta’s work explores the politics of gender, race, motherhood, identity, and the construction of the Canadian socio-political landscape in the Latin American and vernacular diaspora, always inseparable from her own experience.
IGNACIO GATICA: STONES ABOVE DIAMONDS
Gatica began this new body of work in the winter of 2020 when he traveled to Chile to renew his US visa. As the early stages of the pandemic set in, Gatica waited and watched as banks began to board up their facades. This was in the context of Chilean protests initiated by the increasing of subway fares in 2019. He photographed the banks, eventually amassing hundreds of images.
