Roger Ferreira
The Gatherings is an art exhibit at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, displaying the work of a father and son who are both artists. Their work and discussion touches on family, race, parenting and assimilating into a new culture. Kareem and Roger came up with the title Gatherings to reflect on how they are both supported and inspired by their communities and families. Were it not for people coming together, this exhibition, and indeed their practices, would not be possible. http://artgalleryofhamilton.com/exhibition/gatherings-ferreira
