Not to be missed – it’s a special afternoon with Kareem-Anthony Ferreira. A first generation Canadian with strong Trinidadian roots, Kareem uses large scale paintings, black portraiture, non-indigenous patterning and mixed media collage to explore cultural divergence between displacement and indigeneity; divided, yet rooted in multiple places at once. Ferreira has shown internationally in North America and the Caribbean. His recent show, Gatherings at The Art Gallery of Hamilton along with his father Roger Ferreira, was a highlight of 2022. Kareem holds a BFA from McMaster University and an MFA in the painting department at the University of Arizona.
“In my work, I am tracing patterns of personal, familial and social identity within the genre of black portraiture. In an effort to shift the overly simplified perceptions that my two disparate familial communities hold toward the other, I offer visual re-creations of both identities, personal family traits, and events.”
