Ericka Walker: Influence

November 10 - December 31,2018

"This exhibition presents recent work by Nova Scotia based artist Ericka Walker. Her large-scale multi-color lithographs draw on the vibrant history of propaganda, printed ephemera, and advertising from twentieth century Europe and North America, exposing nostalgia as an ongoing rhetorical device in a contemporary sociopolitical climate that clings savagely to destructive birthrights and colonial residues. As a self described 'Daughter of Colonialism,' Walker looks to the history of her parent nation, her host country, and to her own family’s involvement in settlement, agriculture, industry, and military service as enterprises that are far more complex than any slogan or advertisement can extol."

Opening: November 10, 2018 | 6-8 pm
