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.
Artists: Sarah-Mecca Abdourahman, Tolorunlogo Akinrinola, Stéphane Alexis, Jemimah Lorissaint, Judy Nakagawa, Yomi Orimoloye.
This exhibition was realized with the support and partnership of the Ottawa Black Art Kollective (OBAK).
