DESCRIPTION:Date: February 5, 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. (Snow date: February 6, 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.)\nLocation: UNB Art Centre, East & West Galleries, Memorial Hall\nRegister here\n\nDescription:\nJoin artist Gary Weekes for an in-depth conversation about the making of Trayces. Discover the creative inspirations behind the work, the photographic and sculptural processes involved, and the cultural influences that shaped this series. This session creates space for dialogue about representation, artistry, and the stories carried through Black skin.\nAbout the Artist:\nFredericton-based photographer Gary Weekes works across genres with a focus on quality and sensitivity, shaped by years in London and New York. His Fine Art practice centers on collaborative storytelling, leading to a historic 2022 solo exhibition at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, which later acquired his work. He has been recognized as a byblacks.com People’s Choice Visual Artist of the Year and a CBC 2023 Black Changemaker.\nExpanding into short documentary film, Gary is developing Still Here: Preserving Our Legacy, a multi-year project culminating in a book and major exhibition in July 2026. Guided by the belief that everything carries a resonant “pulse,” he works to reveal beauty often overlooked.\n\n–UNB Art Centre\n
