Gallery 110 presents a thought-provoking exploration of societal issues with All the World’s a Stage (And I’m Hip to It), a solo exhibition by Indigenous photographer K. Taka.
The Master of Ceremonies has done the work of setting the stage, elevating the reality brewing just underneath the performative politeness and politics. She brings the characters in as well, demanding that we look at ourselves, and exposes the vulnerabilities, the lies, and the dark secrets that inform individual and collective choices and repercussions. All the world is a stage, after all. What part do you play in it?
This exhibition explores and challenges themes of violence, addiction, homophobia, racism, and political unrest—addressing what we are seeing weekly on our news programs and in our social media feeds. K. Taka created this body of work to express their anger and sadness. Gallery 110 warns that this exhibition contains material that is difficult to discuss and may upset viewers.
