Artists: Andrew Jackson
Invited by the McCord Stewart Museum to photograph a Montreal neighbourhood, his own, Andrew Jackson offers a sensitive portrait of the Black community of Little Burgundy. His gaze, as Rose Henriquez notes, aligns with theories on the racialization of space and the spatialization of race. In this way, Andrew Jackson gives each of his subjects “the possibility of appropriating how one is represented, choosing how and when to be seen.”
