Attended the opening exhibition for OBAK‘s Inviting the Conflict at Ottawa Art Gallery‘s Annex
Featuring artworks by Sarah-Mecca Abdourahman, Tolorunlogo Akinrinola, Stéphane Alexis, Jemimah Lorissaint, Judy Nakagawa and Yomi Orimoloye.
About the exhibition:
Inviting the Conflict presents artistic confrontations with these darker emotional states, positioning art as a cathartic process, exploring how creative expression can navigate and potentially reconcile our pain.
Featured works delve into sadness, loss, grief, insecurity, anxiety, vulnerability, and mortality, offering visual manifestations of the artists’ inner turmoil.
As such, these works are emotional diaries, and raw expressions of hardship.
The exhibition runs until October 30, 2024.
Check out the gallery.
