Now on view at the District Foyer Gallery: Mis-Rememberings: Fragments of Longing and Love by Robin Rivers.

Robin is a Vancouver-based mixed-media artist, photographer, and writer whose practice explores how stories and images travel between generations. Drawing on her Polish and French heritage, she combines photography, archival materials, and original storytelling to explore women’s lives overlooked by history.

Her first collage series follows Albertine, an imagined woman returning alone to the French countryside in 1891 after falling in love in Paris. Using photographs taken at Château d’Orquevaux, hand-treated with acrylic medium and gold, Robin creates landscapes shaped by memory, longing, and loss.

Visit the exhibition to explore these layered photographic works.
