Join Esker curators for a tour of our current exhibition, Black Drones in The Hive.

Deanna Bowen: Black Drones in the Hive Until August 25, 2024

Curated by Crystal Mowry

Organized by the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery.
Circulated in partnership with the MacKenzie Art Gallery, Regina.

For more than twenty years, Deanna Bowen’s practice has evolved from its roots in experimental documentary video into a complex mapping of power as seen in public and private archives. Research and exhibitions are rarely mutually exclusive modes for Bowen, in part because her subjects are capable of revealing new perspectives over time. Whether it is through strategies of re-enactment or dense constellations of archival material, Bowen’s work traces her familial history within a broader narrative of Black survival in Canada and the United States.
