      <image:caption>Adia was born in Toronto, though many of her formative years were spent in Brampton and Barrie, Ontario. From a young age, she could be found with her nose in a book or a sketchbook in hand. Although well rounded in her educational interests, studying language and visual arts remained paramount throughout elementary school and high school. Having the opportunity to dabble in many mediums including plaster, water colour, pastel and mixed mediums, led her to appreciate the boldness of acrylic paints. She combines surrealist symbolism with bright colours and textured brush strokes to create dreamy self-portraits. Art has been a language of healing, not only by channeling negative energy into positive work, but by indirectly addressing uncomfortable truths. Themes of trauma, anxiety and depression evolve into opportunities for self-reflection and growth. Adia’s goal is to communicate a journey to self-actualization in each piece of work. For her, it is less about the specific circumstances surrounding a body of work, but rather the emotional ties that come with those experiences. She believes no matter how bleak the story, there is a lesson to every setback.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Setting: No Place Like Home: Moving around a lot meant that home was rarely an address. Some of my stuff isn’t even taken out of the box before I’m packing once again. This gave me a constant feeling of isolation, unsettlement, social anxiety and sometimes emotional detachment. I used to try to convince myself that I didn’t need people anyway, that I was better off on my own with my books. by: Adia Nesbeth</image:caption>

That’s because I was just letting life happen to me instead of being proactive. I was so caught up in maintaining control of my environment, I never took a chance on anything out of fear of failure.

      <image:caption>Sade Petlele is a 24 y/o black queer and non-binary person living in Toronto, Ontario. Sade creates work using make up to express their blackness, queerness and love of simple graphic art and sketching (using their face as a drawing page). This photoset shows their personal journey using make up and hair for self-expression, connection with their mother, and self-care. This project explores black make up and adornment and how these things are incorporated into personal growth, specifically how it can help someone cope with mental health issues and dealing with change. It also looks at how these skills are passed down through black families, and how this passage of skills connects us.</image:caption>

But it was something I always really wanted. The picture also references the first few times I can remember doing makeup and beauty stuff with her. Sometimes I would watch do her makeup, what I thought was “real makeup”, and I would put on my (her) lipstick next to her.

This picture was of my South African ID Book which I got a few months after moving. Everything was different (language, the laws, culture, people) and I always felt tense, anxious eventually really depressed. I included my favorite necklace in the picture, even though it was from South Africa, I connected it to living back in Atlanta where things were less lonely and stressful. I held onto familiar items like this during this stressful time. Doing my makeup helped distract me from low depressive episodes, I started learning how to do eyeliner during this time.</image:caption>

Her journey thus far has been a bumpy one, she wants her art to show the importance of vulnerability and creating community. During times of distress, social media became a healing space for Shenikqwa. She was able to meet amazing people and learn/unlearn things about herself. Even with the internet being a public space, she was able to have very private and reflective moments that encouraged her to want to share her own story. She soon came to the realization that there were so many people sharing their stories but not many of them looked like her. She wants Black folks to look at her journey and know that they are not alone, that it is possible to create even when you’re not okay. Shenikqwa truly believes that creating from these kind of spaces (spaces of trauma, hurt and pain) can be the very thing that centres us in our healing.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Adia was born in Toronto, though many of her formative years were spent in Brampton and Barrie, Ontario. From a young age, she could be found with her nose in a book or a sketchbook in hand. Although well rounded in her educational interests, studying language and visual arts remained paramount throughout elementary school and high school. Having the opportunity to dabble in many mediums including plaster, water colour, pastel and mixed mediums, led her to appreciate the boldness of acrylic paints. She combines surrealist symbolism with bright colours and textured brush strokes to create dreamy self-portraits. Art has been a language of healing, not only by channeling negative energy into positive work, but by indirectly addressing uncomfortable truths. Themes of trauma, anxiety and depression evolve into opportunities for self-reflection and growth. Adia’s goal is to communicate a journey to self-actualization in each piece of work. For her, it is less about the specific circumstances surrounding a body of work, but rather the emotional ties that come with those experiences. She believes no matter how bleak the story, there is a lesson to every setback.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2019 - Slowing Down</image:title>
      <image:caption>I had many signs I overlooked and instead suppressed my need to slow down. I refused because I had an ego bigger than my traumas and thus i suppressed and projected the wounds of the inner child. I had to slow down in order to see that spells that dwell wouldn't cast away until I have broken down the fragmented versions of me that weren't created by me but rather tried to shape me into a being with no empathy.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2019 - Honey</image:title>
      <image:caption>My mother didn’t have time to heal so when the hate she gave I couldn't bare at all i chose to travel far to preserve my heart and vision. Because people teach you conditional love I decided to study spirituality and the wisdom it teaches about unconditional love, patience, and manifestation. Oshun from the Yoruba tribe was where I found my strength and resilience to love again, to heal, to align and to hustle with the community in mind. We often hear about women with Daddy Issues but those that bare the weight of Mommy issues, the side effects of Narc Abuse and a Black Sheep Complex have to spend many moments re-parenting ourselves to manifest a life filled called bliss. Through this journey on finding a spirit family i have learned to love the fire in my eyes instead of being afraid of it. I learned to love my beings though active spirituality.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2019 - Tea</image:title>
      <image:caption>A daily dose of self-love. When i drink from the cup of my favourite Tea Alfalfa I am reminded that it is hot. So are the emotions we feel when rage forces us to heal. Tea teaches me to sip slow; so I’ve embraced slow living so I can spend more time healing, restoring, and replenishing my being. Micro Herbs and plentiful benefits remind me that even the smallest act to re-parent she is making a big impact and on a cellular level, I am renewing my being. I experience healing benefits and each time I allow myself to use the support of the universe to shake off the residue, I am reminded that I am on track to sipping tea and finding ease. So i sit, drinking tea. Keeping my blessing on me.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2019 - Candle Tears</image:title>
      <image:caption>The candle represents the tears and fire in my eyes. Passionate about peace and well being has often led to isolation and depression. As the blacksheep in the family I had to learn to see the fire in my eyes and stop being afraid of it. From a young age I was told stories that if ingested would birth a being with low self-esteem. As the first in my family to practice new aged spirituality their shunning remarks encouraged me to keep exploring my faith. Proud I am now to be spirit lead attracting a tribe that sees the fire in my eyes and still wants to create and revolutionise with me. I am grateful.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2019 - Portrait</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 2019 suicide was on my mind. Grievance was the word of the year and I reached the lowest I've ever felt about myself. Grateful I am to be supported by the universe. I was introduced to adornment stories and I truly don’t know if I would have chosen resilience if it wasn't for the love of community. So stronger I am today, I will continue to slay agents and slay in my lane. The fire in my eyes will not be tamed is what I keep in mind- my mantra. Once I took time to speak to my shadows, that inner child that was neglected, isolated, and abused i was able to birth a me a was proud of. Conversations with the inner child i have learned is key to navigating through our many selves. To me I’m a Queen on a mission to teach young girls to love their beings in high self -esteem. Healing is not linear so on days I will need to remind myself that in some cases im the ministry all by myself, so ill have to get gassy, set boundaries and take breaks. I hope you are inspired to do the same.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2019 - Life Path Choices</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of the first intentional choices I had to make as a kid growing up on Bleeker Street was who I wanted to be. Not in the way in which the adults asked us while they marveled at us rummaging through professions in our minds that we may never actually aspire towards, but in the way in which I wanted to see myself in the world. Who did I want to be? I wasn't ever 100% sure I knew the answer to that question but what I sure did know was who I wasn't. I saw a lot of unfortunate outcomes come from people like me dabbling with uncontrolled substances too early in their lives and I knew I didn’t want to go down that path. I chose to be a model student, do well in school, and read my books.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2019 - Gender Expression</image:title>
      <image:caption>It was early on in my life that I was labeled a tomboy. Cool with the girls, but always played sports with the boys. As I got older, the Men’s section of clothing stores were just as important to check (if not more important to check) as the ladies’ section. Regardless of what I choose to wear on the outside I am always at peace with my femininity that I feel on the inside. Clothes are just that, clothes. And actions don’t make you male or female, man or woman, boy or girl. The binary is a hoax. Being a woman that performs and expresses herself in the way she sees fit for the moment is a way in which I hold empowerment. In this photo, there is no indication of choice, because I never have to choose between the two.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2019 - I Choose Me</image:title>
      <image:caption>Through complications with family, from ridicule to isolation, and wanting a way out, I knew another decision had to be made. The more I started working on myself through self reflection I knew I wasn’t happy and had to begin striving towards happiness in order to have a shot at a life I felt was worth living. For starters, I had to be honest with myself. As a newly discovered bisexual teenager in the process of finding her first love within the arms of a woman I knew that the place I called home would no longer fit the definition of what a home should feel like, and that whatever shot I had at having a family that loved me without conditions had to be chosen. My first step towards this was to leave home and choose me, myself, and I to embark on a new journey of self actualization, discovery, and freedom. Within the photo there is a polaroid picture of myself enjoying a beautiful day at the beach. This represents making the decision to be on my own as a gratifying and freeing experience.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2019 - Mrs. &amp;amp; Mrs</image:title>
      <image:caption>Being in a serious monogamous relationship, something to discuss at some point in time is marriage. I cannot recall in all the years of television that I watched while growing up a happily married black queer couple. The usual was always very typical straight cis couples (and yes, definitely mostly white). What I didn’t realize for a very long time was that society had expectations for me that I didn’t approve of for myself. Being bisexual for me means the possibility of marrying a man or a woman. Mr. &amp; Mrs. is crossed out in this photo as a form of rejection to the norm. At this point in my life the possibility of marrying a man is super slim, but could still be an option if my future fiance decides to break my heart. For this reason you see a full stop at the end of “Mr. &amp; Mrs.” on the first sign, but only a full stop on the first “Mrs.” in the second sign. The first “Mrs.” in the second sign represents myself and the never changing fact that I own my identity as a proud bisexual black woman. To the right of the next “Mrs” there is no full stop but instead a check mark because whether I marry a woman it doesn’t at all change my sexual orientation and that “Mrs” can be swapped out to another prefix. The check mark symbolizes this option as a choice that I am currently choosing as to say, “yes, this currently applies to me”.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2019 - Middle</image:title>
      <image:caption>Middle is the stage name I chose for myself partially influenced by all the life decisions I find myself in the “middle” of. Older and (a bit more) wiser, I continue to make decisions that bring me closer to living out my higher purpose at my fullest potential. I’ve chosen to become an artist and express my inner passions with the world through music. Music and performance was always an innate interest of mine. The moment I decided to put myself first was the moment all aspects of my life started to align. I grew as an artist, a partner, and an individual. On a day to day basis my main concern is making progress within all these areas. What matters to me most is being a greater version of myself than I was in the last 24 hours. The work never stops.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The gentle sunbeams of light sneaking into a small dark room can transform a space from a forgotten vault into a suite of opportunity and wonder. I love to explore colour space, the frequencies found in time, the energy that lives in emotions, the paradox of light and dark, and the elements of nature. These entities inform my art, and guide my creative thought process. My name is Golden and I am a creator, residing in Toronto with a background in Fashion Business, Music, Architecture, Film and Entertainment.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2020 || Virtual Exhibit - [the cage]</image:title>
      <image:caption>We are born into a world that tethers our proximity to whiteness to our ability to gain societal acceptance and advancement. We are asked to slowly erode and eventually sacrifice our cultures, deny our fullness and degrade that which challenges what we’ve been told is the only way forward. White supremacy demands that we restrain and distort ourselves to acquire the freedom it withholds from us</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cb62ee2348cd94e21d4a4c8/1606267172858-ECWCUTF6WW94ADTZ1Y4U/the+placebo2.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>2020 || Virtual Exhibit - [the placebo]</image:title>
      <image:caption>That restraint comes with a price. A deep and isolating struggle with mental health led to a toxic relationship with alcohol. For a time, it was the only way I could get a taste of something which resembled happiness; it was the only way I felt free. The battle raged deeply inside of me while I tried at every corner to conceal it, to eventually realize that the only way out is through.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2020 || Virtual Exhibit - [the road home]</image:title>
      <image:caption>Nature led me down the path where I began to recognize my strength to heal. I knew of its beauty from childhood, but I learned to appreciate its resilience, strength and its silence. In Vanuatu, the hibiscus flower is an unofficial national symbol. My blooming metamorphosis was embedded in my understanding of myself as intimately connected to that force, not as its superior or dominant.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2020 || Virtual Exhibit - [the arrival]</image:title>
      <image:caption>I think part of healing is the anticipation of the eventual arrival. To find fullness and eternal comfort. As I've arrived I've learned to cherish my roots as a divine gift, my struggles as a demonstration of my worthiness to rise to any occasion, and the need to endlessly love myself.</image:caption>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>2020 || Virtual Exhibit - [the departure]</image:title>
      <image:caption>But with arrival I realize the other side that often goes neglected or unrecognized. It's that arrival is simply reaching the next door, and opening it up to what comes next. I want to bask in the glory of my arrival; we deserve to reap the benefits of what we sow. When I recognized that healing is on a continuum, it caused me to feel fear. But it now it brings me hope in knowing we have the power to change our paths, our futures, and to revolutionize ourselves and our world to become than what we’ve been told to bow down and accept.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Water to me is a healing element. It not only signifies a cleanse, but a movement. I was intentional here with the colours chosen-- Blue, Red, Yellow, Purple-- signifying trust, strength, warmth and ambition, as I cover the strongest chakra and allow other chakras to take center stage.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2020 || Virtual Exhibit - Evolving View</image:title>
      <image:caption>It is the past and the present seeing each other through a state of becoming. Through the writing of Toni, I have learned that the past is in debt to the present and the story of the past is always in process, always changing. It is through the past examples of myself, that I decide who I am.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2020 || Virtual Exhibit - Processing</image:title>

      <image:title>2020 || Virtual Exhibit - Still I Rise</image:title>
      <image:caption>I have learned that through my ambition, my strength, love and creativity is what allows me to continue my learning, my rising. I rise because I am falling in love with the parts of me that I am taking the time to nurture, grow and heal… and she is one that has found strength in her voice.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2020 || Virtual Exhibit - King Golden</image:title>
      <image:caption>The gentle sunbeams of light sneaking into a small dark room can transform a space from a forgotten vault into a suite of opportunity and wonder. I love to explore colour space, the frequencies found in time, the energy that lives in emotions, the paradox of light and dark, and the elements of nature. These entities inform my art, and guide my creative thought process. My name is Golden and I am a creator, residing in Toronto with a background in Fashion Business, Music, Architecture, Film and Entertainment.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2021 || Virtual Exhibit - “A LETTER FOR LOVE”</image:title>
      <image:caption>By: Natalie “Rare” Chattargoon  Dear Beloved Soul,  You are worthy of the time, energy and love that you give out. Somewhere in this universe it’s being reserved for you. Restaprosisity will fill your cup with joy beyond imaginable.  This is the beginning of the awakening, to see life in the light of the beholder and  to clarify the path you wish to seek while indulging in energy that fills the voids in your guide. Pure reflections express deep goals to reach your full potential.  You take a step towards the mirror standing in front of you. Eyes shifting across each feature from the bottom of the toes to the legs that bless you for walking through missions. Going up to kneecaps that connect each joint, to reproductive possibilities that bring pleasure within segments of life. Belly Buttons with a dip or a hill brought chills from the start of creation. Curves, nicks and crinkles body types come in many forms; you're a golden ticket. Wonderfully crafted soul, you have purpose beyond what you know of. Stay Strong, it won’t be long.  Eyes glare up to the significance of what life sees as identifying you, an egg like surface with features of rare qualities. Ears listening to words, sounds or ambiance. Lips for freedom of speech and for soft touches to skin. Cheeks and smiles can drive you wild. For yourself is all that holds you.  Align with the divine. Traveling into the subconscious we face a battle of insecurities rapidly passing thoughts on a daily basis, while encouraging ourselves to move forward with grace. Move at your own pace and find a place where you belong. You are loved.  I hope your soul is warmed by the love you have for yourself deep down. You are a magnificent being. Affirm this with the mind, body and soul. Holistically embody all the features that make you who you are. This masterpiece is sealed with love for all readers. Gratitude for growth, mindset for perseverance and peace for life. The world is yours to discover, take time to uncover.  Love,  Self.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2022 || Virtual Exhibit - Natasha Graham</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am a biracial Black woman who was born and raised in Toronto’s east-end. My mother was born in Toronto and my father immigrated to Canada from Jamaica. I have worked and volunteered in the non-profit sector, and have participated in many local initiatives. My aspiration to dedicate my life to improving mental health access for marginalized communities started because of my own lived experience with mental health diagnoses. I have a particular interest in intergenerational trauma.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2022 || Virtual Exhibit - Keyshia Corothers (she/her)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Keyshia Corothers is a multidisciplinary artist and activist who works with textile, fashion and graphic design. Her art is influenced by the lens in which she experiences the many facets of life like emotions, colour, and the natural environment. As a history nerd, her art continues to pay homage to the past. Her current favourite fashion era is the 1940's. She is inspired by the vibrant colours, the ruffles, and the polished, free flowing structure that accentuates the feminine body.</image:caption>

As a self taught braider, entrepreneur and having a mom as a hairdresser, I’ve been surrounded by black hair culture my entire life. Our crown signifies versatility, resilience and empowerment within ourselves and demographic.

      <image:caption>I'm Remi, a Toronto-native freelance photographer with Nigerian heritage, encompassing Yoruba and Edo tribes. My photo essay explores "Black Surrealism" and "Alte" within the Nigerian sphere. My work showcases the increasingly popular trend of surrealism in black photography. This genre's influence has spread to various domains, including concerts and fashion magazines. We're moving beyond conventional, mundane photography, embracing innovative and expressive methods to reflect the uniqueness of the black experience.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2023 || Virtual Exhibit - Remi</image:title>
      <image:caption>I'm Remi, a Toronto-native freelance photographer with Nigerian heritage, encompassing Yoruba and Edo tribes. My photo essay explores "Black Surrealism" and "Alte" within the Nigerian sphere. My work showcases the increasingly popular trend of surrealism in black photography. This genre's influence has spread to various domains, including concerts and fashion magazines. We're moving beyond conventional, mundane photography, embracing innovative and expressive methods to reflect the uniqueness of the black experience.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Alicia Greene was born and raised in Toronto Canada, growing up in a Conservative Christian Household. Greene had found her artistic talents through painting landscapes and photography. Throughout the formative young adult years, Greene Exhibited personal works in Toronto art shows and expanded to exhibit in International Art Shows in New York City, Los Angelos, and the United Kingdom.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 || Virtual Exhibit - Depression Session</image:title>
      <image:caption>It is very easy to wrap up in a big blanket and let the world deal with its own problems while we wallow away to nothing. Now known as bed rotting, this long-lived activity that consists of feelings of dread, stubbornness, overwhelmingness, sadness, pain, anger, heaviness and hatred of sitting in the sun is what is conveyed here. It is a glamorized version of what I, like many others, experience.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 || Virtual Exhibit - Break Away</image:title>
      <image:caption>Having sat in the sun, it is time to get up and get started. DJ Private Ryan’s 2015 Soca Starter Mix on the TV is an important element here, as it is setting the stage. As I tie the back of the bodysuit to secure it, the sounds of Soca music, which praises God, family and our culture, are being lofted through the scene. In this moment, it is a testament to our determination, not just for the present moment, but for the moments to come. That this first step is just 1 of many to get ready.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 || Virtual Exhibit - Adjustments</image:title>
      <image:caption>As the thigh pieces go on and the sweet sound of Soca is playing, readying my mind and body, I am reminded to adjust my body as frequently as needed to adorn these jewels. Each moment is met with softness, to not break the piece, and tightness, to ensure its longevity at its placement. In this moment I am seated with the knowledge that our Caribbean ancestors had used whatever they had access to so they could create the costumes that mocked the colonizers, that told our stories and that celebrated the rich history of resistance we have cultivated.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 || Virtual Exhibit - I Need Community</image:title>
      <image:caption>Putting on arm pieces brought me back to the point of why Carnival is so important. As I attempted to do this myself, I was brought back to this summer and having played Mas for the first time. The number one thing that stood out for me was the ability to aid someone in putting on their costume. I remember being wide-eyed and heart filled to see strangers turning to each other and asking for help and it so easily being given. The shared smiles, questions of “is it tight enough” and full belly laughs really brought forth something in me I had never experienced before. Carnival is a community all year round and in tying these fabric strings, I am happily recalling these memories into the moment and laughing at the fact that I am genuinely struggling without community, as it is a play on real life.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 || Virtual Exhibit - Celebration!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Fully dressed in costume and dancing to Soca music, I am transported into a time in space where there is peace and happiness. In the midst of the dancing, I am connected to God, to the ones who came before me and to every single hand that came together to create the life of Carnival. I am thoroughly reminded of where I was in my depression and how far I’ve come now in my expression. The vivid background colors are representations; red, for the blood that runs through the veins of every Caribbean person; green, for the bountiful land that we were forcibly brought to, then cultivated and made our own; yellow, for the way our skin soaks up the sun and radiates life. The background colors also play into the feeling of being transported, as if nothing else in the world exists when we are celebrating.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 || Virtual Exhibit - Jade McLean (She/Her)</image:title>
      <image:caption>My name is Jade McLean (She/Her), my background has been in social work, working with various populations including survivors of sexual violence and women fleeing domestic abuse. The arts have been an area of interest to me, and photography has always been something I've wanted to explore. On the flip side of social work, ethnic, queer and women and gender studies inform the ways in which I perceive and move through the world. Considering this, I've chosen to focus my project on the intersections of race, gender and sexuality, and what it means to be in and take up space in a black queer female body.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 || Virtual Exhibit - Kariel</image:title>
      <image:caption>New to photography with a passion for hair, beauty, aesthetic and all things pretty. My name is Kariel and I consider myself to be a downtown veteran. As a self taught braider, entrepreneur and having a mom as a hairdresser, I’ve been surrounded by black hair culture my entire life. Our crown signifies versatility, resilience and empowerment within ourselves and demographic. Black women are the epitome of the culture, we are the blueprint for global beauty trends yet rarely praised and accredited. Therefore, it was crucial for me to capture the essence of our creativity, beauty and fashion whilst being in the environment and atmosphere of a small black-owned hair store.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 || Virtual Exhibit - Remi</image:title>
      <image:caption>I'm Remi, a Toronto-native freelance photographer with Nigerian heritage, encompassing Yoruba and Edo tribes. My photo essay explores "Black Surrealism" and "Alte" within the Nigerian sphere. My work showcases the increasingly popular trend of surrealism in black photography. This genre's influence has spread to various domains, including concerts and fashion magazines. We're moving beyond conventional, mundane photography, embracing innovative and expressive methods to reflect the uniqueness of the black experience.</image:caption>
