An accompanying podcast to the exhibition "Fields" on view from 6 April to 18 May 2024. Stream to hear from artists currently featured at Access Gallery as they talk about their practice and how their art relates to each other.
Fields is a group exhibition which presents work from artists Kiona Callihoo-Ligtvoet, Khim Hipol, Marina Levit, Evan Robinson, and TwoSmudge discussing their experience of growing up, and growing into their identity. The coming of age genre has historically focused on cisgendered, heterosexual, white perspectives on what it means to grow up. Fields focuses on voices which are often underrepresented within dialogues of youth, childhood, and the uncomfortable experience of transitioning into adulthood. These narratives are explored and engaged with in different ways and through different mediums by each artist including photography, painting, beadwork, and print. The exhibition brings new perspectives into the coming of age narrative to include not just a transition from youth to adulthood, but perspectives on how each artist came into and express their ways of being and identity.
