“RESILIENCE”

New Works by

Jim Logan

Exhibition Opening Saturday, October 19
Meet Jim Logan from 1 – 4 PM

“I named this exhibition “Resilience” because that word defines what I have witnessed after forty years of painting. A lot has changed over that 40 years – a lot has improved for many communities but the social realisms such outdated infrastructure and poverty are still prevalent in many Indigenous communities.  This collection of work touches on the definition of that word – the importance of holding on to traditional knowledge, the challenges we must endure regarding climate change, inherited poverty, surviving colonial and intergenerational trauma and thoughts of leaving it all behind to find something better. Resilience is about surviving and perseverance, about standing strong and proud despite what history has thrown at you. I hope you enjoy and reflect on the stories presented here.”   – Jim Logan

 

Exhibition continues through to October 30, 2024
