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).

In partnership with Capital Pride, the OAG Youth Council is excited to present a free drop-in painting workshop led by Montreal-based artist Kezna Dalz! Join us in person at the OAG on April 16 between 12 and 4 p.m. to create a painted work that depicts what you would like to see in your heart.
Kezna’s work is characterized by raw features and bright colours, and within her multidisciplinary practice she addresses themes such as feminism, the fight against racism, popular culture as well as one’s relationship to sexuality. Her work can be viewed on https://teenadultt.com/
