About this Event
Lana Collins' inspiration for All My Sisters was an idea that she wanted to explore about how sisterhood exists both as a relationship and as a moment, appearing in shared rituals, in whispered encouragement, and in unspoken understandings. This project seeks to reveal the emotional labour, tenderness, humour, and chosen connection that define how we show up for one another. Sisterhood is getting a chance to say, “you feel like me” and “I trust you with myself”. Each frame is a record of connection and a celebration of the chance to be authentically witnessed.
About Lana Collins:
Lana Collins is a Canadian analogue film photographer specializing in 35mm. She is self-taught in the medium and also develops and digitizes her film at home. Her practice focuses on intentionality throughout the process by utilizing the materiality of analogue photography. This informs slow, intimate sessions that she treats as anthropology through art practice, seeking what is already present rather than forcing a specific image. Through this practice, she explores personal narratives surrounding pressures to “perform existence” within the communities of queerness, femininity, and sisterhood. She strives to capture timeless photographs that are intentionally disconnected from specific time periods and instead focus on enduring emotionality. Over the course of her artistic career, Lana has continued to develop her technical skills and artistry by working closely with those in her local community. She has been commissioned for her work and has had her photography featured in group exhibitions. The upcoming stages of her practice will delve into image manipulation and large-scale community projects.
