"Following on a partnership with the Gender and Women’s Studies’ fall speaker series, the Brandon University Library continues to celebrate gender diversity in the Westman community, and is proudly presenting artist Wendy Friesen’s exhibit, Guitars, in the Tommy McLeod Curve Gallery. The Curve Gallery is located on the second floor of the John E. Robbins Library at BU and is free to view during library opening hours.
Friesen’s Guitars is a pop art exhibit representing themes of rock and roll, healing, community, inclusivity, and Pride. This series brings together miniature guitars, both replicas and original conceptions, constructed in detail, evoking a sense of celebration and joy. Hand constructed in mixed media, Guitars draws in the viewer in with playful delight, then focuses attention on finer details in thought-provoking ways. The exhibition is interspersed with Friesen’s poetry – written on many subject matters, but primarily about her personal queer experiences and queer advocacy. Information on the Westman Empowerment Fund is also shared as part of the exhibition."
