Toronto artist SARA celebrates her inaugural exhibition PLAYGIRL: “Entertainment for Men”. in Toronto at the Remote Gallery from 7:00 to 11:00 pm. This community event will also showcase music and spoken word.
About The Exhibition
PLAYGIRL: “Entertainment for Men” will take attendees through contrasting but overlapping experiences of womanhood. The exhibition invites us to reflect – both as individuals and as a community – on the patriarchal social constructs underpinning religion, love, labor, and culture. How have you navigated spaces where you’ve been instructed to tread lightly and speak in whispers? To always walk the fine line? How have they changed you? How have they shifted your perception of the world and your place in it?
About The Artist
SARA is a Toronto-based artist who primarily works in pencil in the style of hyperrealism. Her work is largely inspired by her lived experience and touches on themes surrounding identity politics, socioeconomic inequities, and, most recently, the climate crisis. SARA began her career in the arts, painting murals for local businesses in Ottawa and low-income neighborhoods in Toronto. She continues to take on projects that uplift communities and build resilience.
When you look back on these experiences, what resurfaces? Is it Rage? Shame? Grace? Fear? Pride? Perhaps all of the above… and more? How do you make sense of these emotions when they swallow you – when you feel them everywhere all at once?
Curated by Imani Dominique, This event is supported by Canada Council for the Arts, Akin Projects, and BANDED PURPLE.
