About this event
Visual ArtOctober 13 – December 4, 2026
Featuring artworks by A. Hassan, Amara King and Kiké Otuije
My and Our is a 2026 exhibition featuring new works completed by artists in Lakeshore Arts’ 2025-2026 Black Artists Residency Program. Through portraiture and photography, the exhibition explores community and belonging, self and identity, and where one might be situated within larger gender, social, and cultural movements.
As emerging and mid-career artists, A. Hassan, Amara King, and Kiké Otuije use a diverse range of new or experimental disciplines to create possibilities for themselves, carving out an artistic practice within a contemporary existence characterized by economic pressure and rapid political and social change.
Lakeshore Arts’ Black Artist Residency invites emerging to mid-career Black Artists to take part in an 8-month residency in our South Etobicoke studios. Selected artists receive a materials stipend and work on self-directed projects, culminating in a featured exhibition.
