Violet Drake: Feeling Further
We’re delighted to present the final rOGUE Gallery exhibition of the 2024 calendar year! Feeling Further by artist Violet Drake will be up in the rOGUE from November 8th to December 14th. We will have an opening reception on November 8th from 6-8pm, with snacks and refreshments as usual! Click here to RSVP to the Facebook event.
Feeling Further is an exhibition of prints, poetry, and sculpture that explores metamorphosis and magical realism through a rural transsexual narrative. Using abstracted self portraiture, found material, and environmental photography, this work dreams of an alternative world where trans liberation and climate justice are conceptualized beyond systems of oppression.
Violet Drake gratefully acknowledges the financial support of ArtsNL.
