The stories, sites and events that Douglas explores are populist, literate and timely. Frequently, his photographs describe the overlooked histories of cultural identity, displacement and injustice that reveal an uncanny resemblance to present-day events.
This exhibition will emphasize the significance of the photographic image in the critical and historical reception of Stan Douglas’ approach to art and media.
