“Beyond the Carnival 5” is the latest exhibition of photographs of the Canadian Caribbean Photographic Arts Collective (CCPAC) and is now on at the Station Gallery in Whitby. The show of photographs by seven well known Toronto photographs opened early this month and runs until July 2nd.

CCPAC was founded in 2017 by Anthony Berot and Ian Grant. Its objectives include exhibiting the photographic works of the collective and creating a legacy that highlights the excellent work of Canadian Caribbean photographers.Their work has been exhibited in Museums, Galleries and specialized shows in Ontario and beyond.

 

Most of the seven artists featured at the Station Gallery have had their photographs appear in the Caribbean Camera. All the photographers are of West Indian heritage and live in Canada. Each has their own style and their photographs cover a wide variety of subjects. 

 

The show reflects the diversity and artistic vision of each photographer and with their Caribbean background, it makes for a unique art experience. The pieces are also available for sale so gallery goers can take home a one-of-a-kind piece of Canadian Caribbean art.

 

The Station Gallery’s curator describes the show as “stunning” and everyone is invited to visit to see for yourself. The photography show is free.
