Join curator Czarina Mendoza for a guided tour of the exhibition, Shelley Niro: Boundless from the series Below the 6. Boundless gathers photographs from several series spanning much of Shelley Niro’s long career each demonstrating Niro’s reflection on her community and relationship to landscape. Niro shapes a world where love, kinship, compassion and connection to land and knowledge anchor her boundless imagination. This exhibition forms part of Below the 6, a series of exhibitions that focuses on artists based in Southwestern Ontario whose practices are socially and politically minded. Below the 6 is generously supported by TD Canada Trust.
