    Photographs

    Born in Harlem in 1941, June Clark emigrated in 1968 to Toronto, where she still lives and works. There, she began making photographs of street scenes as a way to situate herself in a new and unknown environment, seeking a community similar to the Harlem she had abruptly left. This exhibition features photographs by Clark, spanning the 1970s through to the 1990s.
