EXPOSITION

« My Corner of the World - CANADA »

My Corner of the World invites the artists to investigate a real or imaginary world that represents what is important in life.

It might be where the artist lives, works, or grew up, or their works.
It might be their favorite place that they always keep in mind at any moment of their life, or an even more private and personal place.

My Corner of the World contemplates the situation as a whole, but staying open and including homeland, ancestors and culture

SAQA developed this exhibition in collaboration with the Stratford Perth Museum, Stratford, Ontario, Canada, and with the Canadian Regions of SAQA.

This exhibition began its journey at the same time as an International  exhibition in the Statford Museum of Perth in May 2016.
