July 11 - October 26, 2017
Presented by Wedge Curatorial Projects + the Gladstone Hotel

In conjunction with Rite of Passage : Chef in Residency Program with Suzanne Barr

Both food and photography have the ability to evoke sensorial memory. Suzanne Barr and Jorian Charlton reveal understandings of hybrid worlds. Here they conjure homeland stories, tastes and ways of being that create a rite of passage. Invoking locations somewhere between a dream and reality. The definition of the Diasporic experience.

Inspired and shaped by her Jamaican Canadian upbringing she captures the delicate details, the vibrancy and style that affirm and make real – Caribbean culture in Canada. She pursues reflections of identity and Diasporic relationships to homeland.
