Presented by photographer and artist Yeavior, in collaboration with Ste Emilie
Skillshare. Through the visual art of photography, Yeavior presents his unique
visual representations of nature and patterns, as an artist and migrant.
Yeavior will also interweave his own personal narrative as a queer migrant, in
order to raise awareness about important social justice issues when it comes to
some of the barriers which migrants face in Canada when seeking status. <br>
<br>
Yeavior invites you to view his photography and learn more about migrant social
justice. Postcard versions of his photos and order forms will be available for
those who might want to purchase specific items. All proceeds for will go to
the artist and he will be in attendance. <br>
<br>
Entrance is FREE!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt;"><b>Yeavior’s Artist Statement</b>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span lang="EN-CA">There are so many questions to ask, there are
many things that we can do to make this planet a better place to live life
equally, as nature should be. Plant a tree instead of hate, smile rather than
feel sorry, give a hand because you never know what the future could bring,
where you could be hoping for help. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span lang="EN-CA">Fight means Light and Hope for those who wanted
justice in the honest way being who we really are. Is not fair, a system that
does not care about individuals and families or human rights. It’s an
injustice, the government lacks capacity on compassion and understanding. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span lang="EN-CA">Give us a pen to write, a safe place, a guide
to follow the freedom. A doctor to look after us, give us respect and education
to live a decent, equal life, a life on the same level. We don’t need rules to
live, we need rights to have a sense of our existence on this planet. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span lang="EN-CA">IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt;"><b><span lang="EN-CA">Artist Bio</span></b><span lang="EN-CA"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span lang="EN-CA">yeavior ® discovered his artistic abilities at
an early age – as a child spending his free time doing volunteer work, by
drawing historical and native characters, at a little school back in his
homeland Nicaragua. Experiencing his natural abilities at handicrafts and design,
he determined to pursue his design and creative ideas and to contribute to
different communities and cultures. Yeavior ® has recently been exhibiting his
paintings and photography in Canada
, where, in 2009, has also contributed to three Jumblies theatre productions. Furthermore,
he has recently presented his photography at the “Under the Bridge” exhibition,
combating violence against marginalized youth. </span></p>
