The juxtaposition of matter and thought produces art with impact.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My guest today is photographer and artist Gary Weekes<\/strong>, whose new exhibit, Trayces<\/em>, is featured at the UNB Art Centre Galleries as part of the Black History Month exhibition. He joins me to talk about the unusual form of this art, what inspired him to work in this way, and what this art means to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE: <\/strong>this interview contains frank details about some of the disturbing elements of historical abuse which impacted the artist’s process. Some discretion should be exercised.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trayces<\/em>,<\/strong> along with the return of the Rediscovering the Roots of Black New Brunswickers<\/a><\/em> exhibit, are opening on January 23 at 5pm, and will be on display in the UNB Arts Centre Gallery until March 27.<\/p>\n
