Land, Labour, and Leaving

Treaty Space Gallery, 1887 Granville St
Through photography, drawing, and multi-media installation, artists Logan Rayment, Kuhlein Migue, and Jonathan Carroll investigate ideas of migration, health, and labour. Rayment uses photography to explore the silent changes of non-permanently returning home, creating a narrative about migration/home/labour/rust/family. Migue’s drawings abstract and re-contextualize colonial representations of the Philippine landscape, exploring how colonial extraction affects the land and its people. Carroll uses interactive media to dissect small-scale social history through the commodities that shaped the life of his great grandparents. The show examines how changing migration patterns and the draw of the working wage have shaped their home communities.
