Exposing true ‘Identity’
May 7 George Canyon, Doc Walker, Charlie Major
For the second year in a row, Mount Royal is taking part in Alberta’s annual photography festival, Exposure. Curated by Curtis Desiatnyk, manager of Insurance and Operational Risk at Mount Royal and long-time member (now chair) of the University Art Committee, the 2019 installation features the work of four photographers. Desiatnyk originally chose gender as the theme, but noticed as the submissions started to stack up that the theme morphed into identity. “It became less about gender and more about acceptance and finding your place in the world. It wasn’t just gender, but race, age, culture and everything else that helps us interpret who we are.” The artists and their works are: »» Sanja Lukac — The Trouble with Beauty & Syllable series »» Kaitlin Moerman — Untitled, Life-Size Self-Portrait »» Ellen FitzGerald Reichbart — The Space in Between series »» Francis Willey — Natasha Brite, Mo B Dick, Drag King

SUMMIT – SPRING/SUMMER 2019
Kaitlin Moerman — Untitled Moerman's (almost) life-size self-portrait hanging on Mount Royal's Main Street is mounted into a white frame with acid-etched glass. About her photo she said, "The ratio of flesh to bone. The colour of my skin, hair and eyes. The height at which I stand. Education, interests, professions and pursuits. Placement within political, social, sexual and economic realms. These factors make up how I see the world and my position within it."
