Deanna Bowen contemplates the simultaneous hypervisibility and invisibility of Black bodies in the photographic archive, Vancouver’s particular performance of racism through class and how her own work might offer a counterpoint to established forms of representation in Vancouver and their role in the continued erasure of Black presence from the city’s historical narratives.
The talk will be followed by the 2019 Capture Photography Festival Launch.
