BECOMING: PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE WEDGE COLLECTION
Becoming: Photographs from the Wedge Collection examines ways in which personal and cultural identity are created, challenged, or affirmed. Through portraiture, these works by artists from Canada, the United States, Africa and throughout the Diaspora, trace the evolving politics of representation. Whether documentation of an era or reflections on family histories, the images provide insights into the changing roles of the artist and subject. This exhibition includes both historical and contemporary photography.
