Reception 7pm February 7

Kemi will be leading workshops during the run of this exhibition. Information on workshops, dates and times to come soon!

Darkest Light centres experiences from people of the African diaspora to illustrate how we can embody resistance and survival through joy. Comprised of analogue film, soundscape and a series of interactive workshops, the installation operates with fluidity and collective interventions at its centre.

Kemi Craig is a contemporary analogue artist living and working in the traditional Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ Territories. An American of African descent raised in Cherokee and Catawba territories, her work centres on futures for raced and gendered bodies. Working through analogue film, video and projections, Craig explores devices of looking to interrogate the simultaneous experiences of past, present and future. Craig received academic training, completing her Master of Applied Art through Emily Carr University of Art and Design however; she is primarily a self taught filmmaker through workshops, community activism and working at artist-run centres.
