installation built from red brick and the alternation between Falé fluvial cotton, spun and woven. Created in collaboration with workshop head, artist and weaver Joa Diop, the installation, whose title translates from Serer as “concession,” in the sense of habitat, explores materiality as a site of rooting, initiation, and memory. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/D2865483769173639930692254393443/IMG_1808.jpg The project is part of a research-creation process grounded in the deepening of a reflection on denim and the lesbian gaze. Through a methodological approach referred to as the unweaving of this textile,I seek to explore the material manifestations of queer history and their symbolic charges within the transatlantic space. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/I2865485380625861977737554912355/DSC05813.JPG Mbind 1 (2026) Installation of Red bricks and rain-fed cotton Falé exhibited as threads and weaving In collaboration with Joa Diop https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/L2865700515501920454277633238115/DSC05794.JPG https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2867433657260613178969381233763/IMG_2168.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2867436217041501311349020779619/DSC05834.JPG Seeking to foreground the mystical dimension within the political, the installation returns to the mythical brick thrown by Marsha P. Johnson at Stonewall, a cathartic moment in the LGBTQ+ struggle on Turtle Island. The cryptic dimension of its architecture, which alternates points of tension and fragile balance, engages the notion of queer-coding within a Senegalese anti-queer context. Planted facing the cashew tree, its red pillars symbolically embody the shores of the Atlantic, between traditional Senegalese red brick and a queer political emblem drawn from New York architecture. https://by-awa.com/meet-me-in-montreal-faith 2026-04-01T04:39:33+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/K2866704480581149764752068928611/Awa_Faith_Acrylic_on_MDF_2025_215cm-x-215cm.jpg https://by-awa.com/meet-me-in-montreal-hrh 2026-04-01T04:36:57+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/K2866704480581149764752068928611/Awa_Faith_Acrylic_on_MDF_2025_215cm-x-215cm.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/T2866705498601614960561093960803/Awa_HRH_Acrylic_on_MDF_2025_120cm-x-243cm.jpg https://by-awa.com/nothing-poetic 2026-04-01T16:00:36+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Z1104666580877950731163860281948/Untitled-16-1-dragged.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/G2868103431531896248877774627939/1-faith-dossier-vis-.jpg ARTIST STATEMENT BY FAITH PARÉ “a fine African head” charts the hauntings of colonial education in Canada and the Caribbean. At the center is my personal and inevitably one-sided connection with a young Black woman student activist from the Bahamas who lived in 1960s Montreal. CJH was among the 97 arrested for participating in the Sir George Williams Computer Centre Occupation in 1969, a historic two-week sit-in against racism at the university. At one time, the only public information on CJH was a claim that she had died following a head injury sustained from the violent police crackdown on the occupation. My grief for this fellow Black woman, and the enclosure that her memory was relegated to in the official record, serves as the departure point for envisioning what her life might have been like in this understatedly critical city to Black Power struggle. The book unfolds as a temporal diptych between this period of upheaval and the 2020s, when the mental, physical, and historical burdens of institutional education on Black people still loom large, long after the student uprising in 1969. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Q2868103431550342992951484179555/2-faith-dossier-vis.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/A2868103431568789737025193731171/3-faith-dossier-vis.jpg https://by-awa.com/beautyful-one 2026-04-01T15:20:26+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/S2455955064207005720808593384547/IMG_7066.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/L2865452944553612297589246747747/00002250.jpeg https://by-awa.com/example-project 2026-04-01T15:55:24+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/O2626409694358075335256928878887/square.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/L2865452944553612297589246747747/00002250.jpeg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/T2865466849432593898743611614307/00002203.jpeg Original postcards of Ghana (1915-1950) from the artist’s archive https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/S2865497197351861179044386399331/Ghana-archives_ca_1930_Asante-King-with-his-court_004.jpeg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/D2865653171675000861681477051491/e825fae7-80f6-6a23-f845-d589372f3c08.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/L2865658543145514197018393011299/IMG-6483.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/G2865661649282068304527532319843/IMG_6472.jpg Century old studio “Deo Gratias” - Jamestown, Accra (2025) https://by-awa.com/yané-gané 2026-04-01T15:19:13+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/S1147361302595655063944428519425/sad_compressed-480p.mp4 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/V2867510620360409140339023373411/IMG_2003.jpg https://by-awa.com/consulting-vibe-checking-french- 2026-04-01T15:19:13+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/U2054080171260482498423651918947/Capture-decran--le-2024-08-13-a-15.22.31.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/J2077852242756073040261589328995/photo-site-workshop-1.jpg https://by-awa.com/consulting-vibe-checking-english 2026-04-01T15:19:13+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/U2054080171260482498423651918947/Capture-decran--le-2024-08-13-a-15.22.31.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/C2077852916726314517313767171171/photo-site-workshop-1.jpg https://by-awa.com/**atelier-(fr) 2026-04-01T15:19:13+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/U2054080171260482498423651918947/Capture-decran--le-2024-08-13-a-15.22.31.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/G2076364579605295167678626227299/phot-site-workshop-compresse.jpg https://by-awa.com/**workshop-(eng) 2026-04-01T15:19:13+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/U2054080171260482498423651918947/Capture-decran--le-2024-08-13-a-15.22.31.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/G2076364579605295167678626227299/phot-site-workshop-compresse.jpg https://by-awa.com/the-beautyful-one-studio 2026-04-01T15:19:13+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/F1115535440929195047860863576668/Untitled-11-1-dragged.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/L2455894811680624739594988250211/IMG_6483.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/O2455954693556577047762572764259/IMG_6886.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/S2455955064207005720808593384547/IMG_7066.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/J2455955064243899208956012487779/IMG_6473.jpg https://by-awa.com/queering-folktales- 2026-04-01T15:19:13+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/U1133458341983204790224935529052/Vessel-2.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/L2078000480072026351343702991971/Sans-titre-17-2.jpg https://by-awa.com/“there-is-nothing-poetic-about-falling-for-montreal” 2026-04-01T15:19:13+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/N2053979214130181725639741367395/website-decoupage-.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/C2053979214111734981566031815779/collage-1.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/A2053988028943730835896400176227/2024-11-06_123835.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Y2054020518290177400917893407843/background-pour-site-.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/E2054081134401884074946760893539/Capture-decran--le-2024-08-13-a-15.19.34.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2057237981867106950886682092643/back-site.jpg https://by-awa.com/a-lesbian-gaze 2026-04-01T15:19:13+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/M1041056958862622857452792392284/45907527774_b78aafb2e9_o.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/D2180559423857473018060991718499/DSC04488.JPG https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/O2866609622460948594409790071907/Awa_Faith_Acrylic_on_MDF_2025_215cm-x-215cm.jpg
