Ottawa Art Gallery

Level 1 – Galerie AnnexeThis chat will take place in Galerie Annexe, surrounded by the group exhibition <a href="https://oaggao.ca/whats-on/exhibitions/sight-not-seeing/" title="https://oaggao.ca/whats-on/exhibitions/sight-not-seeing/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sight, not Seeing</a>. Together, Felicity and Sandra will delve into the central question of the show: What is Blackness, and how does it manifest on this land?Schedule5:30 PM – Guest arrival5:45 PM – Artist talk6:30 PM – Q&amp;A7:15 PM – Wrap upFelicity Hauwert is a Black Nova Scotian and Dutch visual artist concerned primarily with memory, its construction, and visual embodiments. They view their practice of creation-based research as being inherently relational and come to image making from an auto-ethnographic standpoint that engages familial, non-familial, and land-based relationships. Through their practice, they continue to be occupied by deep historical, aesthetic, and visual ties across the Black Atlantic.

Niveau 1 – Galerie AnnexeCette rencontre se déroulera à la Galerie Annexe, au cœur de l’exposition de groupe <a href="https://oaggao.ca/fr/a-laffiche/exposition/regarder-sans-voir/" title="https://oaggao.ca/fr/a-laffiche/exposition/regarder-sans-voir/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Regarder sans voir</a>. Felicity et Sandra discuterons ensemble de les questions sur lesquelles l’exposition se penche : Qu’est-ce que l’identité noire ? Comment se manifeste-t-elle sur ce territoire ?Horaire17 h 30 – accueil du public17 h 45 – causerie18 h 30 – période de questions19 h 15 – fin de l’événementLa pratique de l’artiste Felicity Hauwert (une personne afro-néo-écossaise et néerlandaise) s’articule principalement autour de la mémoire, de sa construction et de ses représentations visuelles. Hauwert considère son processus de création, axé sur la recherche, comme une démarche profondément relationnelle et aborde l’image à travers une perspective autoethnographique qui explore les liens familiaux, non familiaux et ceux tissés avec le territoire. Par sa pratique, l’artiste continue d’examiner les liens historiques, esthétiques et visuels profonds qui traversent l’Atlantique noir.📸 Natalie Caro
