@moozhan_art_and_design is installing his exhibition ‘Where are you Really From?’ In the Window Gallery from November 20, 2020- January 9, 2021. #alternator #moozhanahmadzadegan #kelowna #kelownaevents #kelownaart

Upcoming in the Window Gallery we have local artist Moozhan Ahmadzadegan. "Where Are You Really From?" is an exploration into the complex intersections of ethnicity, cultural hybridity, and nationality. Ahmadzadegan uses communication and language as investigative tools into the ways we navigate our own experiences, identities and our perception of the 'other' to prompt viewers to consider their own biases and challenge what is understood to be 'Canadian'. "Where Are You Really From?" opens November 20th and is on view until January 9th, 2021.

Red Dot Update! Stay tuned for spring of 2021 for further updates.

On Saturday, Nov 14th please join us and local artist Marguerite MacIntosh in the members space for an artist-on-site day. MacIntosh will be there from 11-4 to talk about her practice and her current exhibition, "From Away". Please be advised that masks are now mandatory while in our exhibition spaces.

Please be advised that the Alternator will be closed for Remembrance Day, thank you.
