Collage Party Feat. Karice Mitchell

Join us for a collage party led by Vancouver-based artist Karice Mitchell. Drawing inspiration from various artists who make use of found images and text – such as Wedge Collection artists Aaron Jones, Carrie Mae Weems, and Lorna Simpson – along with Michell’s own process of working with vintage magazines, this event will be focused on exploring how to respond to and manipulate found images.

Please bring a photocopy of a family photograph, which will be the starting point and inspiration for your collage.

RSVP required
Admission is by donation

About Karice Mitchell
Karice Mitchell is a photo-based installation artist whose practice uses found imagery and digital manipulation to engage with issues relating to the representation of the Black female body in pornography and popular culture. Her work seeks to re-contextualize pre-existing images to reimagine the possibilities for Black womanhood and sexuality detached from the white gaze and patriarchy. She received her BFA at York University in 2019 and her MFA at the University of Waterloo in June 2021. She currently resides on the unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people where she is a full-time lecturer at the University of British Columbia Vancouver campus.
