Curated by Geoffrey Webster, Broad/Cast emerged in response to the persistent misrepresentation of Black identity in media. This exhibition offers vital and deserved space for artists who push back against dominant narratives and, in turn, set the standard for truthful depiction.
The artists in Broad/Cast profoundly engage with African-Nova Scotian, African-Canadian, and/or global African diasporic perspectives. Through personal and dynamic explorations of race, artists in this exhibition simultaneously confront gender and class stereotypes, offering a critical yet broader lens on longstanding representational issues within lens-based media.
