Displacement: A group exhibition by the UNB Art Centre and Connexion ARC

The UNB Art Centre and Connexion ARC present Displacement. This group exhibition is curated by Emily Blair, Director of Connexion ARC, and showcases a broad scope of work from Connexion’s Members: Amy Siegel, Erin Goodine, Lee McLean, Marianna Lewis, Philip Hare, Ralph Simpson, Sabine LeBel, Sienna Ingham, Susan Judah, and Tara MacDougall.

Displacement invites audiences to reflect on the physical, emotional, and cultural impacts of leaving a place, person, or state of being behind. The exhibition features a wide range of media, from paintings to installation pieces and sculpture, each work exploring various facets of displacement—from forced relocation to the more subtle shifts in identity and belonging. With powerful and poignant perspectives, the artists draw attention to the human experience of change, loss, and hope, using their unique voices to comment on the larger societal issues of migration, refuge, and exile.

The Connexion Members Show presents a compelling cross-section of contemporary artists from the region, each offering their own distinct interpretation of displacement. From abstract visual narratives to deeply personal installations.

The Displacement exhibition will be on display at the UNB Art Centre from October 24th to December 15th, with an opening reception on October 24th from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. The exhibition is free and open to everyone.
