Against the wall is a gallery exhibit of multidisciplinary visual art by South Asian artists living in the Diaspora. A collective voice of transformation and reclamation is expressed by the artists as they explore aspects of identity in their struggles against various walls of oppression.
There are 16 artists from Canada and the United States working in a variety of media including photography, painting, textile, ceramics and mixed media.
It is an exhibition where different points of struggle and transformation are encountered in a maze-like setting, a simulation of the process we experience in our own journeys through life.
