Join us for an in-person artist walkthrough of Exiting the Castle, led by Hannah Doucet. Baked goods courtesy of Claire Geddes Bailey will be provided.
Through photography, video and sculpture, Exiting the Castle extends Doucet’s ongoing project exploring illness, fantasy and wish fulfillment through the lens of her own experience receiving a wish trip to Disney World as a child, following two years of treatment for Lymphoma.
Hannah Doucet is a visual artist and arts educator from Winnipeg, based in Toronto. She works within photography, video and sculpture to explore fantasy, illness, and the body.
