In April 2023, Kathleen Flanagan visited Bogotá, Colombia.   Her exhibit is designed as a photo essay as seen through the eyes of a Canadian tourist, with text and images of a busy, complicated, and beautiful city with a colonial heritage and a dramatic mountainous landscape in an urban setting that is full of complexity and contradictions.

Artist Statement

Speed and noise dominate the street, leaving little time for reflection. The buildings that line the street are not immune, albeit the pace and volume are lower. There is a blur to life where details, special and tawdry, are lost. The pedestrian and the photographer can briefly halt and create memories, but at their peril.

​

Biography

Richard Purcell is an amateur photographer living in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He has trained as an architect, animator, and computer scientist. Most of his photographs are taken on familiar streets while he is trying to get somewhere.
