An examination of the relationship between image and viewer, this exhibition from illustrator Elizabeth Mackenzie showcases how our preconceived notions of gender, race, and identity affect how we see things. With large-scale portraits of ambiguous figures, viewers are given a chance to notice how they interpret each face. It’s an important reminder that what we see isn’t necessarily what is.

From the late Pakistani artist, Madiha Aijaz, this multimedia exhibition showcases how the people of her home city, Karachi, relate to their environment. It’s a testament to Karachi’s multicultural fabric, but also it’s storied past with colonialism.
The first Canadian showing of Aijaz’s work, this photography and video exhibit explores what the artist described as “contested, often fractured landscapes.” A glimpse into the often conflicting voices that make up a city.
