Artist Studio Visit: Adad Hannah and Jonathan Alfaro
March 6, 2025 | 6:30-8:00 PM
Born in New York in 1971, lives and works in Vancouver. Since 2001, Adad Hannah has been working on his series Stills, consisting of silent videos that exist at the intersection of performance, photography, and video. Based on the 19th-century practice of tableaux vivants, Hannah’s videos, photographs, and installations look at how we perform as spectators and how our gaze can be constructive as we try to make sense of ourselves and the world around us.
Jonathan Alfaro (b. 1992) is a queer, LatinX interdisciplinary artist working on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ nations. Alfaro holds a BFA from Emily Carr University. Recent exhibitions have been held at Art Gallery Evergreen, Canton-Sardine, and the Burrard Arts Foundation (all 2023). Alfaro was selected for the Audain Art Museum’s RBC Emerging Artist Program (2019), and has participated in residencies at the New Media Gallery (2022), the Burrard Arts Foundation (2023), and the resident artist for the Dear Friends, reading series hosted by The Capilano Review and The Western Front (2024).
We are pleased to be visiting the shared Chinatown studio of established artist @adadhannah and emerging artist @alphalimafoxtrotalpharomeoscar to learn about their diverse practices and how they, perhaps, influence each other.
We hope you can join us!
