Scarborough-based artist Anthony Gebrehiwot is interested in how photography can be used as a tool for social change. His recent image-based work has developed as a response to the dehumanizing and objectifying portrayals of Black people that are widespread in North American media and perpetuate systemic anti-Black racism. The artist re-visions these representations by creating affecting, empathetic photographic works that invite his viewers to experience emotional resonances with his subjects. His portraits are thoughtful and tender, a reflection of his deep commitments to his community.
