I Wasn’t There When You Saw Me !

I Wasn’t There When You Saw Me !  notes on perception, belonging and surveillance is an art coffee table style book that functions as an autoethnographic meditation of my experiences of migration and displacement in shaping identity. Through visual and textual reflections, the work examines how experiences of movement across borders and cultures complicate notions of home. I hope to use this as evidence on the importance of art to challenge controlling narratives and to imagine new ways of being seen.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER

stécy helena franck

Stécy is a Haitian-born, Montréal-raised, and Toronto-based artist whose practice is rooted in exploring identity through visual storytelling. Drawing from ethnographic studies and critical fabulation, she aims to examine how diasporic histories shape our understanding of the self. Rooted in cultural hybridity, her work embraces layered identities as a generative space to question where memory, experience and futurism intersect. Her goal is to expand on how diasporic narratives are represented and create new possibilities for reimagining who we were, who we are and who we might become in speculative landscapes.
