Sunday Scene: Michele Pearson Clarke
Speakers from the world of art and beyond offer their responses to the current exhibitions at The Power Plant. Whether focusing on a single work/artist or on multiple exhibitions, guest presenters draw provocative connections between our programs and broader cultural and intellectual debates.
Michèle Pearson Clarke is a Trinidad-born artist who works in photography, film, and installation. Her work focuses on representing other forms of black/queer pain as a practice of resistance. She is a recipient of the Toronto Friends of the Visual Arts 2019 Finalist Artist Prize, and she was recently appointed to serve a three-year term as the second Photo Laureate for the City of Toronto. Pearson Clarke will discuss Rashid Johnson’s exhibition Anxious Audience.
