The McEachern Art Center, in collaboration with ACA Gallery in New York, presents Vaivén, featuring the work of Afro-Caribbean figurative artist Kandy Lopez. Lopez’s work explores constructed identities, telling stories of people of color. Her current series is centered around large, yarn-based portraits on plastic canvas. Initially designed to be walked on like a rug, these pieces symbolize the marginalization of people of color in this country. In this exhibition, the portraits are elevated on gallery walls and suspended — transforming these works into symbols of strength, courage, and beauty, reclaiming space that often feels inaccessible.
