Seen / Unseen artist talkback | Pique

Live recording of: Seen / Unseen artist talkback at Pique summer 2025 Date: June 7, 2025 Location: DARC Microcinema, Ottawa ABOUT THE EXHIBITION/ARTISTS: A multidisciplinary exhibition and artist talkback exploring the paradox of visibility for Black artists, curated by Olivia Onuk. Featuring Aly Joy-Lily McDonald, Yomi Orimoloye, LuCille, Luniverse.JPG, Dominique, Chyme Seen / Unseen examines the complex relationship Black artists have with visibility—how being seen can be affirming, but also leaves one vulnerable to misinterpretation, surveillance, and commodification. Through performance, storytelling (music and poetry), media, and visual art, the exhibition invites attendees into a space where seeing and being seen becomes an active, dynamic exchange. It asks: How do we control, or attempt to control how we are perceived? What does it mean to be truly seen versus merely watched? How does being seen or unseen shape an artist’s creative freedom and self-expression? _______________________ ABOUT THE EVENT: Pique is a forward-thinking, artist-driven quarterly event series featuring eclectic musical, visual and multimedia artists, produced by Debaser. → https://www.thisispique.com ABOUT THE ORGANIZER: Established in 2013, Debaser is an arts organization and event presenter/producer based on unceded Algonquin territory (in so-called Ottawa). → https://www.debaser.ca _______________________ CREDITS: Sound and lights: Fabien St. Laurent Video Production: Kilam Media _______________________ Funding provided by the Ontario Trillium Foundation and the Government of Canada under the Community Services Recovery Fund.
