EXPOSURE 2022 EMERGING PHOTOGRAPHER of the year: RAEANN CHEUNG

Exposure’s 2022 Emerging Photographer of the Year award recipient Raeann Cheung will be presenting her solo show ‘WE ARE IMMIGRANTS - The Hidden Hardships and Legacy of Early Chinese Canadian Immigrants’. The exhibition will explore the resilience of the early Chinese Canadian immigrants whose perseverance and hard work helped strengthen the geographic boundaries, armed forces, and economic capacity of this country from mid 19th century onward.

EXPOSURE FENCE: people & place

Exposure, in partnership with the Chinook Blast! Festival, will present an outdoor exhibition at Calgary’s Olympic Plaza. Curated by Beth Kane, People & Place presents the work of five visual artists based in Treaty 6 and 7 territories, also known as Southern Alberta. The work and perspectives of this dynamic group of exhibiting artists provide us with both celebratory and critical visual insights regarding the complex, intertwined relationships between People & Place within these traditional territories. In addition to activating public space in Calgary’s downtown core, the exhibition promotes wider understandings and increased access to the art of photography and visual storytelling, amplifying impactful narratives and connecting artists to a wide audience.
