Curator Tour with Ryan Rice


Wednesday, December 03
5 to 7 p.m.
Onsite Gallery, OCAD University
199 Richmond St. West, Toronto

Curated by Ryan Rice, Rosalie Favell | Belonging (1982 - 2024) is the first retrospective of renowned Red River Metis artist Rosalie Favell, showcasing a powerful curated selection of her lens-based works from 1982 to 2024. This exhibition celebrates Favell’s groundbreaking photographic practice—from seminal series like Living Evidence and Plain(s) Warrior Artist to her expansive archive Facing the Camera—which invites us to bear witness and explore the complex themes of identity, empowerment, same-sex desire, community and the nuanced search for belonging through a lens that is both deeply personal and subtly subversive.


Presented as a unique, large-scale, outdoor installation on the façade of Onsite Gallery, Rosalie Favell’s TSÍ TKARÒN:TO comprises a suite of photographs selected from the Ottawa-based Red River Metis artist’s renowned portrait series Facing the Camera, a monumental national and international visual archive documenting the broad diversity of Indigenous arts and cultural communities. This iteration features a curated selection of photographs taken over three open-invitation sessions, hosted by the university’s Indigenous Visual Culture program during Favell’s 2016 tenure as Nigig Artist in Residence at the OCAD University in tsi Tkaròn:to. . Rosalie Favell | Facing the Camera: TSÍ TKARÒN:TO is curated by Ryan Rice
