Unsavoury Witness - Alejandro A. Barbosa @ SUM Gallery
Unsavoury Witness - Alejandro A. Barbosa
Unsavoury Witness is a photo-based installation that includes laser-engraved photographs, photographic murals, intermedia, print media, and court transcripts from the Supreme Court of British Columbia on the 2001 murder of Aaron Webster in Stanley Park. This immersive exhibition foregrounds homophobia's intimate connections with public spaces, institutionalised systems, societal responses, queer bodies, and desire.
Within the safety of SUM gallery, the exhibition is crafted as a diorama where artist and viewer intersect the public figure of the witness toward a queer ethics of memorialisation.
Unsavoury Witness is part of the 2025 Capture Photography Festival and is generously supported by The Parachute Fund and the Deux Mille Foundation.
Join us on April 16, from 6-9 PM, for the opening reception.
