ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION Ongoing – Warehouse 61 The Consulate General of Canada hosts a group exhibition that gathers works by Arwa Abouon, KC Adams, Babak Golkar and OCAD University alumni. No registration required. Arwa Abouon is a Libyan-Canadian photographer whose work aims to sculpt a finer appreciation of the Islamic culture by shifting the focus from political issues to a poetic celebration of the faith’s foundations. KC Adams is a Canadian First-Nations multi-media artist who works in sculpture, installation, drawing, painting, photography, ceramics, printmaking and kinetic art. Her work is exhibited at the National Gallery of Canada among other prestigious galleries. A guided tour of the exhibit will be provided by KC Adams on Dec 15 at 6:30pm-7:00pm. Babak Golkar spent most of his formative years in Tehran until 1996 when he migrated to Vancouver. Through a variety of forms, including drawing, print, ceramics, sculpture and installation, Babak Golkar’s subjects of research have emerged from his interest in spatial analysis in relation to contemporary human conditions. Founded in 1876 and located in downtown Toronto, OCAD U is Canada’s university of the imagination, dedicated to art and design education, practice and research and to knowledge and invention across a wide range of disciplines. The four OCAD U alumni works on display are a modest representation of the range of recent innovative work coming out of the Drawing & Painting program in the Faculty of Art at OCAD U. The exhibited works are courtesy of Art Works Consulting, and have been curated by Devan Patel.
